Chapter 4: Sacred Sword by MadSkillz
"The Sacred Sword lies in Termina inside a deep, great dungeon filled with puzzles, mazes and other challenges," Drake said sipping his cup of hot tea.
"Termina?" Link asked.
"A place the Link before you went to," Drake answered but then continued on to say,"To get to the dungeon you may need to ask your friend. Skull Kid"
"Skull Kid?" Finn asked.
"One of the other Links in the past befriended him,"
"What are you guys talking about?" Malon asked, looking confused.
"Who is she?" Drake asked looking straight at Malon. Which creeped her out.
"My girlfriend," Link said putting his arm around her,"I'll explain" which he did. From start to finish.
"Oh okay," said Malon and kissed Link on the cheek,"I'm gonna see Zelda now bye" and she turned and left the room.
"Let me give you this map," Drake said taking out a large piece of paper with what looked like blueprints on it,"Its the dungeon map. It will show you the way"
"Thanks, we will be leaving now," Finn replied and just as they were about to leave, Drake called them back and said,"The unknown force is wary of you now. It may hound your thoughts and send strong monsters"
They both nodded and left the room.

Finn and Link were stumped. They had no idea of which way to go.
"How about that way," Link said pointing northeast,"Through the trees"
"Lets give it a shot," Finn replied and they both mounted their horses and set off in that direction. As they went through the trees(luckily there was a path there)Link had a flashback. He was riding Epona through these same woods except he was much younger, then a weirdly dressed kid took his horse and ran off with it. After that the flashback stopped.
Finn heard some rustling in the bushes and out came a weirdly dressed kid and Link and Finn sidestepped out of the way. The weirdly dressed kid fell down to the ground Link said,"Skull Kid,"
The boy turned around, surprised."How do you know my name?"
"Its me Link,"
"No, Link disappeared a few years back and I havent seen him since. He used to have this mark on his left-"
"You mean this mark?" Link interrupted and showed him his left hand.
"No way," Skull Kid said surprised.
"Now thats cleared up, wheres the dungeon for the Sacred Sword?" Finn asked.
"Across Termina, all the way down to the left, and eventually you'll see a hole in the ground. Jump in it," Skull Kid answered.
Termina Field was big, if not as big as Hrule Field. This grass was trimmed with a nice sheen to it. As they walked on they began to see the hole Skull Kid was talking about.
"Over there!" Finn said, pointing at the hole and rushed over to it. Link followed. They both jumped in, first Finn then Link.
Their fall seemed to go on forever. When they landed it was dark, damp and the floor was soil. They could just about see that the way in front of them split off left and right.
"Its too dark," Finn said and was squinting through the darkness.
"Yeah, I know," Link replied and walked forward. He looked to the left. Pitch black darkness. He looked to the right. The same. He touched in front of him and the surface felt like rough wood, he moved his hand to the right and it felt smooth like glass. A door.
"Hey Finn come and help me find the doorknob," Link asked moving his hand along the door but he couldn't find anything.
"Alright but where are you?" Finn said moving around like a blind man. Finn put his hand on Links face.
"Mhhrh! Wyrr arr yuu dinn!?" Link mumbled.
"What?"
"Yerr aound is mon my ace!"
"Ohh..." Finn replied, luckily he understood. He moved his hand off Link's face and Link let out a relieved sigh. Finn found the door knob and opened the door. There was a lit match there on the table and next to it a torch that was open and had wood, paper and coal in it. Finn guessed that the match would have to go in the open torch. He took it and lit the torch, he then blew out the match and took the torch and they could see. Only the floor was soil and the walls were granite. Along the walls were candles which Link guessed had to be lit up. He got the torch and lit up the candles in front of him. Finn took out the map and Link came over.
"Seems.like we go right," Link said.
"Yup,"
As they walked on, Link was lighting up the candles. They occasionally stopped to check the map, to see if they were going the right way. They came up to a room with a sign that read:
"Make all the tiles green to pass"
They went in and the door shut behind them and bars shot straight down.
"So...what?Do we just step on the tiles?" Link suggested, but it was more of a question.
"I think so," Finn answered and stepped on a green tile. The three coloured tiles around him became green. Link got on the green tile diagnol to Finn. Only a tile adjacent to it became green. They carried on like this until all the tiles became green.
The bars shot back up, on both doors and they went forward. After a while of walking Fin/ heard in his head
Why do you carry on?
To save everyone Finn thought
You don't know who or what I am. I could be really strong
Or weak Finn added
If you stop here I will give you ultimate power and anything you want
You're scared aren't you?
What?
You know you're going to die so you're trying to stop me from advancing
No!
Yes you are. Now get the hell outta my brain and maybe I'll give you a quick death.
There was silence good Finn thought and that silence was broken by the sound of a large roar and hard footsteps coming towards them.
"Oh crap," Link said and took out his sword and shield. Finn did the same. The monster that came before them was huge, brown scales all over its body, two massive wings on back it was hard to believe this thing could stay in a small corridor. Finn tried teleporting but it didn't work. So did Link. Same outcome. It shot out a big fireball and they both just managed to dodge it. Link ran up to it, jumped but it turned and tail swiped him back on the ground. Hard. Finn ducked underneath its legs and slashed upwards. He only got a scratch, its scales were solid. He was at the back now and called to Link,"It's skin is too hard we need to go now!Go underneath!"
Link went underneath and they both ran, through the dark corridor.
When they thought they were far enough away they came up to two doors. Next to those doors was a sign that read:
Through the dark maze?Or through the lava pit? Your decision. "Well the maze will definitely have traps and monsters in there," Link said.
"Yeah, but the lava pit may be safer," Finn replied.
"How?" Link questioned.
"Well its probably just a pool of lava and we could probably get by it anyways," Finn answered.
"The monster could get lost in the maze," Link suggested, shrugging his shoulders.
"It could also catch up to us," Finn said.
"Lets just go through the maze because we don't know what the lava pit is like and the maze we know is a maze and we have it on our map," Link replied.
"Okay," Finn said and pulled out the map, Link gave him the torch and they started looking for the maze. It wasn't there.
"Its not there," Link said.
"I know, damned Drake giving us some false map," Finn replied.
"We'll have to navigate," Link said. Finn nodded and they went through the maze door. They walked up to a place that only went right, so they went right. Then they came to a place with a long jump. If they fell well, who knows? They tried teleporting and that didn't work and they tried looking for a place to go through another way. That didn't work either. Link got a run, jumped and just grabbed hold of the edge then pulled himself up. Finn did the same but with Link's help.
Together, they navigated through the tunnel. Turning left and right until they were blocked by a giant spider on a web.
"Wow that is one ugly spider," said Finn and as if in response it hissed.
"Lets try not to make it angry," Link said "I have a feeling that I know how to kill this thing"
"Link you've never-" Finn started to say and then CLANG
"This thing is made of steel!" said Link a bit annoyed.
"Well all of the monsters have gotten stronger you know,"
"Yeah I know" Link said and pondered for a bit and asked,"Finn do you still have your bombs?"
"Yeah why?"
"Drop two underneath the spider,"
"Okay then," Finn said as he was putting the bomb down. They waited about five seconds then BOOM the spider didn't die but the web was gone, which revealed the exit to the maze. Link and Finn ran through and looked at the map.
"Hmm the maze was longer than I thought," Finn said "All we have to do now is walk forward"
"See? The lava pit would've been longer," Link replied
"You're right but lets go," Finn said and the both of them ran down the corridor and saw the Sacred Sword in a stone.
Link went up to it, put both hands on it and had flashbacks of the time of when he pulled out the Master Sword. Except this time it didn't work.
Finn went over and pulled it out successfully and when he did they were both teleported back into Hyrule Field.
"Its okay Link. You just need my strength thats all," Finn said.
"Yeah like you have any," Link retorted.
