I looked around, and I was disgusted.

I was disgusted at myself for everything that happened. It was all my fault that Majora was able to get free. My fault that Majora had enough power to level half the castle AND run away.

Glaring upwards, my rage at myself petered out, and was replaced by the unending guilt that I had cost Fourteen ponies lives. However, my rage wasn't gone, it was only focused on the floating mass of grey that sat a few hundred feet above the castle. My orange eyes glowed with my anger, as I reached inside myself for what I needed. I knew that Majora was the reason for the moon's placement, and that only the same power could move it back.

I dug, until I hit the wall inside my own mind. This wall was my own safety lock that kept Majora and it's power away from the Mask and myself. Yeah, it was weird finding out that Majora was simply sealed in the Mask like I was. The magic around the seal was old, and honestly, the power behind it was simply ridiculous. But we'll cross that bridge when we need to, for now I knocked on the lock I kept on Majora.

And by knock, I mean I plowed right through it and grabbed the manifestation of Majora before it could do anything.

"What do you need with us?!" Majora's screech was faded. Good, it didn't have the willpower left to stop me right now.

"That's a simple answer." My White fuzz hand gripped the Red bolt of magic tighter. "You aren't the Mask, but your power is just as much mine as the emotions you stole from me are." Majora squirmed in my grip. "And if I wasn't absolutly positive that forcing you out would cause more problems than good." Majora stopped squirming, and I could swear it had a grin on it's non-existent face.

"You are correct. The mask seals both you and Us in it. It is Magical in nature and thus draws it's power from both of us." Majora said while simply floating in my grip.

"Great, now that we covered that, give me your half of the power so I can fix the moon." I demanded as I let go of Majora. It immediately zipped around me, much like an agitated fly.

"Who are you to make demands of Us?!" Majora's screech was louder than earlier. "You have no control over Us!" It picked up its speed, and suddenly it zipped upwards and disappeared into the Black void that made up its residence. I looked around, waiting for it to come back, but I couldn't even feel it's malicious magic any more.

"Damn.." I silently cursed to myself, as I left the space, and locked the door behind me.

With a quick thought, I was back outside, my gaze still focused on the moon. My eyes flashed a deeper Orange as my anger peeked.

"Move.." I pulsed my magic, I felt the telltale signs of my magic flowing through the Mask. The Mask itself began emitting an aura of Purple and Red magic.

"Move!" I pulled more magic from myself, and forced it into the Mask. The waves of Red and Purple now flowing freely enough to swirl in my vision. The Mask's eyes glowed even brighter, to the point that It's Orange glow started mixing with the magic around me. Even with all this, the moon just sat there, taunting me.

Even now I couldn't do anything!

The magic flow around me started to wane, as did the glow from the Mask's eyes. I looked inside myself and found myself remembering pieces of what happened during my time split apart. A flash of Luna laying on the ground, her horn petering out as she put all she had to stop the moon from falling. Another flash of even Celestia in Fierce Deity mode sending a wave of magic up at the moon, and it still not stopping, all while she fought Majora.

If everyone else had given a hundred percent, then why wasn't I?

Was I scared? ..No, I wasn't.

I'm not some scared child who was afraid of what would happen!

I reached inside myself once more, and grasped at what I came to know as my magic. I pulled it out.

All of it.

"Move!" I cried out, my voice once more reverting to the screech of Majora. In a blast of force my magic exploded out of the Mask. The White of my own magic mixing with the Red and Purple of the Masks own amplified magic. Even as the Orange glow from the eyes returned full force, the Mask was trying to absorb my magic in an attempt to amplify it again. The movement of magic caused a small tornado of lights around me. I heard a groaning, and watched as the moon itself was being pushed back. Slowly, but surly the moon was moving away from the castle and back into the sky.

I couldn't keep it up however. I needed to speed it up if I wanted any chance of finishing this. I took hold of the White magic, my magic, that I had forced out from myself, and began force feeding it into the Mask. The mask itself began to glow slightly, as the amount of magic it was amplifying had reached heights it had never worked with before. The moon was pushed farther away, it's speed picking up slightly.

"More!" I called, Almost all of the magic I had was now being syphoned into the mask, and the glow coming from it was.. Dark. The Purple had changed to a Black and the Red had darkened into a deep blood color. The moon was now more than halfway back to where it was originally. Just a little bit more..

"Mor-"

*Crk!*

A cracking noise echoed through me head, and my magic faded instantly. As did the Dark Light that was emanating from the Mask. I watched faintly as the moon kept going on sheer momentum, even as my vision blurred and blackness creeped up and swallowed my sight.

----Third Person----

The few ponies that stayed in the immediate area stopped their cheering. As the Mask that had, up until just now, been pushing the moon back into the sky, simply fell down the ground with a clatter.

The group of Ten or so ponies all murmured to themselves about what could have been wrong. One little yellow pegasus filly simply ran though the group and up the hill where the Mask had been performing it's magic. Despite the outcry from the filly's mother, she kept running up the hill until she got to the top. Upon noticing the Mask lying face up on the ground she stopped moving.

"H-hello?" Her voice was small, and she was laying herself down as close as she could to the ground. Not hearing a response, she got up a little, and looked over to the Mask, where she noticed Two things. The first was that the Mask was no longer glowing, even though she knew it was glowing before it started using it's magic to help them. Even it's eyes weren't glowing anymore.

The second was the crack running down the center of the Mask starting at the top and going all the way down to where a nose would be. She slowly walked over to the mask and bent down at it's side.

"A-are you okay?" Her voice louder, but full of worry. When she didn't get a response again, she simply reached down and picked it up. The Mask weighed almost nothing to even a filly like her, and her curiosity overrode her worry for a bit. She flipped the Mask around in her hands as she inspected it thoroughly. Checking out the detail in the front of it. Curiously looking at the various different Orange's used in coloring the eyes. How the mixture of both Violet and Maroon colors made the bright Orange stick out even though they weren't glowing. Flipping it over, she inspected the inside. Finding the inside completely smooth, and it even looked soft. She touched it gently with a couple fingers, her eyes opened wide at the silky feel it had. She just wanted to wear it!

She looked around and saw that, from the angle she was kneeling, nopony on the ground could see her. She let a smile creep onto her face as she gently raised the Mask to her face. Amazingly she could see through the eyes as she held the Mask up to her eyes. Right before she could attach the Mask to her face however..

"Don't.." A voice called softly through her head.

"Do it!" Another voice called out loudly in her head. It was loud enough to snap her out of whatever curiosity she was stuck in. She quickly tore the Mask away from her face and pulled it to her chest as she got up and made a mad dash down the hill. She walked up to her mother as the mare kneeled down to her daughter's level.

"Fritter! What have I told you about going off on your own like that?" The mother glared at her daughter.

"But mommy, the Mask thing needed help!" Fritter held up the Mask to her mother. She gasped at what her daughter was holding. She gently grabbed it from her daughter's hands and looked at it. She gently rubbed a thumb over the crack that ran down it's middle. She was about to inspect it further, when her daughter grabbed it from her hands. Fritter held the Mask close and tight as she sent a glare to her mother.

"Come on, we have to go see the Princesses!" She nudged her mom towards the castle.

"Honey, that mask is dangerous-" The mother tried to reason with Fritter.

"Nuh-uh! It just put the moon back for us! How Is that bad?" She asked her mom, the little filly's eyes had confusion in them. The mother looked up, and then sighed. Her frown turning into a smile as she looked at her daughter.

"Your right sweetie, lets go." She rubbed her daughters head lovingly as they made their way to the castle.

They came to the castle gate and walked up to the guards stationed there.

"Halt! What's your business?" The feminine voice called out to them. Fritter simply held up the Mask for the guards to see.

"I'm sorry, my daughter would like to give this back to the Princess if you don't mind." The mother said with a bow. The guards looked at each other, then back to the mother and daughter.

"Fine, I'll lead you in to the throne room." A male voice came from the other guard. With a nod they followed him inside the castle. They looked around in awe at the amount of things strewn about the walls. Stuff that looked like it belonged in some kind of museum. A sword here, and spear there, and many different trinkets lay posted on the walls and on stands.

A sudden knocking caught there attention as the guard stood at the door.

"Your Majesty's! Somepony wishes to give you something!" He called out, his voice loud and booming. It was only after a few seconds did they hear a response.

"Enter!" Celestia's voice was heard from inside. As soon as the words hit their ears, the guards was already pushing on the door to let them in.

"Be on your best behavior." The guard mumbled to them as he simply stood in the doorway. The two walked in, as the mother kept her head down, Fritter had stars in her eyes. She was in front of the Princesses! She looked at them, since she had never been this close before.

"What brings you hear this morning?" Celestia's voice was calm, yet to the point. She looked down at the mother and daughter in front of them, and gently smiled at the little one that was staring at her and her sister with such open affection. She was surprised when the mother gently nudged her daughter with an elbow, gaining the little ones attention from the staring. Celestia watched as the filly smiled sheepishly as she pushed her hands up in her direction. In her hands lay-

"What?!" Luna jumped from her seat in the thrown, landing down next to the filly and her mother. She gently kneeled down so she could look at the Mask being held up, as she gently placed a hand on the Mask.

"What happened?" Luna asked softly, her hand gently tracing the crack.

"The weird Mask thingy pushed the moon away with its beautiful magic! But just when the moon was about back to normal it collapsed to the ground." The little filly said, as she withdrew her hands, and the Mask, to her chest. Luna looked at her with confusion.

"I went to check on it, and almost put it on when I saw how pretty it is." Her words made both Luna and Celestia flinch slightly. "But a voice told me not to in my head." The filly smiled, as she hugged the Mask to herself tighter. "The voice was so nice and soft. It sounded like it didn't want me getting hurt, kind of like how mommy talks." At this Luna smiled and felt her pride for her friend rise.

"But then some mean sounding voice told me to put it on.. I didn't like that one. Can you bring the nice voice back? Pretty please?" The little filly asked Luna as she handed over the Mask with big puppy eyes.

Luna gingerly took her friend from the filly and looked the Mask over herself. Her eyes roamed over the multicolor surface of the front of it, and stopped at the eyes. So used to seeing the glow from them, she couldn't help the small gasp as she saw nothing, not even a spark of Orange. A determined look appeared on her face, as she gently placed the Mask onto her face.

----Inside the Mask----

Luna looked around, her eyes scanned the surrounding area. She knew she wasn't in her mind, which was weird, since that's were they had always gone when she wore it. She saw a bunch of different terrains, much like her own mind. To the North was a large Mountain surrounded by smaller mountains and it even had a village hidden away next to it. The whole area looked to be covered completely in snow.

Snowhead

She heard a voice whisper into her head, looking around she saw nopony else in the sky around her. She looked to the east and saw a rather large tower made of a carved out mountain. Surrounding it was a rocky plain that was littered with the feeling of death and loneliness.

Stone Tower Temple

The same whisper, another name. Luna turned her attention again, this time to the south. She saw a lush forest surrounded in Purple water. The forest was so thick she couldn't make out anything else.

Woodfall

Luna was getting tired of the whisper, but it seemed to be helping her understand what was going on. She turned to the West now, only to see a vast and deep ocean. As far as she could see, that's all there was. Except a strange island deep outside the boundary of which she could see.

Great Bay

Luna was about to ask what this all meant when the sound of explosions sounded from underneath her. She looked down and saw that there was a town sitting in the middle of a field of sorts. The field was full of monsters and-

Termina Field

Irritated, Luna continued. -And the town itself seemed to be made into Four main sections.

Clock Town

"Alright! Who is that?!" Luna asked aloud. She looked around, and didn't spot anypony. She sighed as she looked around the town really quick. It seemed to be in the middle of a festival, if the colorful explosions were any indication. She honestly could watch them for a while, if she wasn't on a mission.

She looked around, scanning the town for signs of her friend, either Mask or that fuzzy form he takes. She saw a bunch of people, some clapping their hands, and some huddled up like they were scared.

You must hurry
He needs you

Luna's attention was drawn as the weird clock tower in the middle dropped its ball thing and opened up both on top and a way in on the side. What she saw inside the dome was.. Well weird. Floating in the sky slightly above the dome was a small creature its arms folded and it was lazily floating in the air much like Nightmare did as Majora took over. In fact the creature indeed did have the Mask over his face. It was talking downwards into the dome. When Luna looked farther down she quickly found herself more confused.. For a few seconds.

Inside the dome, standing on the ground was a young boy in Green, brandishing a sword and shield. Fortunately Luna was close enough to the ground to hear the conversation.

"Skull Kid, stop this! You don't know what your doing! I don't want to have to use the Giants on you!" The boy in Green said, sheathing his sword, and plucking out an Ocarina. Skull Kid simply laughed.

"Well whatever. Even if they were to come now, they wouldn't be able to handle me... Hee, hee. Just look above you... If it's something that can be stopped, then just try to stop it! " The voice she had begun to recognize as Majora spoke. She looked up at his words and gasped.

The moon!

The moon of this world was hovering a few feet from her. How she didn't see it was a mystery to itself. She looked back to the talking boys. As the boy in Green lifted his instrument to his lips, he paused, and clutched his head. Instantly his posture changed.

Gone was the brave stature, and willingness from before. Now he stood hunched over, like he was hurt, and he was sweating profusely.

The Boy in green then started to fade out, leaving a fuzzy outline of White and Black spots. The child floating in the air disappeared as well, only the Mask remained floating.

"Oh come now, you barely lasted long enough to be fun!" Majora called out. Luna watched as her friend fell to one knee as he panted.

"You and your sick games! I wont let you win!" He called out to Majora. His body flashed Green for a second. There was a silence, until Majora floated over to where her friend lay.

"You don't have a say in this anymore, without your magic you have no hold on Us.".

It was this moment that Luna decided that she had seen enough, as she flew towards Majora, intending to smash the mask away from her friend. Instead she flew right through the Mask like it wasn't even there. Upon landing on the ground, she felt herself change. Instantly she felt all but the most basic levels of her magic disappear, as she also felt her body solidify. In a flash of Green she was wearing the same Green tunic that the boy from earlier had worn, albeit a few alterations to suit her.. Now 'Teenage' body.

"Damnit Luna! What are you doing here?!" Her friend asked, walking back over to her even as he changed back to the same Green clad boy from earlier. Majora's laughing caught their attention however.

"Now now, you don't need to yell at the poor horse."

"What?!" Luna's outcry was drowned out by the groaning of the moon.

"Shit!" The boy swore as he held up the Ocarina to his mouth playing a very odd Melody. The song seemed to echo out around them halting all noise in the process. After a few moments he stopped playing, and like magic the music continued to play. It was only after another minute of silence did something disturb the oddly serene music. It was Majora's high pitched laughing.

"Your a fool! You haven't done anything yet! How could you summon the giants if you haven't even been outside Clocktown yet?" Majora's laughter continued until it petered out. "Well then, We guess it's our turn then?" Luna could almost feel the tension in the air as Majora leaned backwards and stared up at the moon. Suddenly the moon's face began to glow a deep Red-Orange. A sudden sense of urgency hit her as she looked to her friend.

He was already bringing her into a makeshift hug. She blushed slightly at the contact, and when she went to back off, he held her tighter.

"Dont move!" He hissed angrily, as he pulled the Ocarina up to his face again. She was surprised at the sheer audacity that he would play music at a time like This..

The music played Twice, once as he played it, and the second, happened when she found herself falling through a White void?! Everything got brighter and brighter until she had to blink. As soon as she did, she found herself standing in front of that clock tower. She looked around confused, as she remembered the moon falling!

She jerked her head up so fast she heard a crack.

"Ouch, I think I felt that!" The voice of her friend called out from behind her. She jumped slightly at the sudden noise behind her. Turning around, she saw him, standing there with his arms folded behind his head, smiling.

"Wh-What was that? What was all of that?!" Luna demanded. She glared as her friend simply shrugged off her malicious glare and lightly tossed his Ocarina before catching it again.

"That was the Song of Time. A very useful and powerful song. It's magic allows the passage of time to be altered and reversed. In this case, we go back Three days. It takes Three days for Majora to gather the necessary negative and magical energy to pull the moon down." His response was.. Straightforward. She wasn't expecting it, so she coughed into her hand before continuing.

"Time is not something that is easily toyed with! No mere Ocarina could alter time!" She retorted. She watched as his eyebrow rose, and he sighed. She smiled, thinking she had won the argument, until he spoke.

"Well, we did just go back in time, if you don't trust me, I can always do it again." He responded, raising his Ocarina again. Luna jumped forward, grabbing his hand forcing it to lower away from his face. As that happened he gently blew a raspberry while winking at her. "Thought so." He chuckled lightly, causing Luna to puff out a cheek in annoyance. She straightened up as she looked him over, just now realizing that he had a body. One that wasn't White fuzz, and such. She gently reached a hand over, and cupped his cheek. He jumped at the sudden contact and looked at her confused.

"You have a body." She said gently, her voice soft like the boy before her would break if she spoke too loud. He chuckled at her words, and grabbed her hand from his cheek.

"Yeah, this is the body of the Hero of Time, heh, go figure. Oh!" He paused for a second, he snapped a finger. "While we're here, you can call me 'Link" okay? It'll be weird if I don't have a name ya'know?" He smiled, catching Luna off guard.

"Link?" She asked, testing the name out herself. He nodded at her.

"Yup, it the name of the Hero of Time. He went on a few different adventures, all revolving around his travel between time to save his world." His smile brightened. Luna smile back, as she felt the happiness radiating off of him. Her attention was drawn as he fidgeted slightly.

"What's wrong Link?" She asked.

"Are you any good with a sword?" He asked suddenly, his smile dropped, as worry appeared on his face. Luna nodded her head.

"Yes, I can compete with my sister in armed combat quite evenly." She was surprised when he thrust his sword and shield in her direction. She looked to him, seeing his bright smile back and went to grab them.

"Great! I really suck at using them myself.. I'll stick with Long range and diversion tactics!" He grinned ear to ear. As Luna equipped the sword and shield she found herself being pulled along as Link ran down the street. He turned a corner and ran up a hill, Luna following right behind him. He stopped at a small stand with a young boy wearing a green suit of sorts. Link waved hello to the boy and started talking to him.

"How are you today?" Links asked, a small smile still on his face, like he knew something was going to happen.

"Hello! I'm fine, how about.. Do I know you? Hold on a second.." The young man reached out and grabbed Link's hand and quickly let it go after looking at seemingly nothing. "Ah, your the little guy that deposited Two Hundred Rupee's. What can I do for you today?" He asked Link cheerfully.

"I'll need the full Two Hundred Rupee's today." Link said without missing a beet, and Luna watched as the young banker grumbled.

"Your not going to get far if you spend all your savings like this." The banker told Link as he handed him a small bag with a gem embolden on it. He took it happily and put it in his pocket.. Where she had seen him pull out a fair number of things so far..

"Don't worry, I'll start saving real soon!" Link said, acting the part of a small child awfully well. He began walking across the street to the nearest store that had a sign that read: General Store. But before they could enter, Luna grabbed his attention.

"Link.." She started.

"Luna, don't.." Link said, like he knew what she was going to say.

"You said we went back in time.." She began again.

"Luna you really don't want to.." Link tried again to stop her.

"But that boy knew you, and had money stored for you.. How? That's just not-" Luna stopped, her eyes going cross as smoke began seeping from her ears. Link just smiled lightly as he shook his head.

"Told you not to do it. It's just one of those things you don't question. Just learn to take the gift you've been given." He scoffed slightly. "Besides, do you know how annoying it would be to have to go grind for money before starting any quests? You'd waste a whole day doing it before you get anything done.." He muttered to himself. Luna perked up, slipping from her trance.

"Grind?" She asked, testing the new term out. Link looked at her sheepishly, as he opened the door and walked into the store.

"Yeah, it uh, means to continue to do the same thing over and over to get items and other things." Luna cocked her head to the side, as Link face-palmed lightly. "We're playing a version of the game I mentioned when I came here." At those words Luna understand what was going on. His knowledge of the surroundings and use of that Ocarina and its songs. She watched as he went ahead to the counter and purchased something. When he came back, she was ready with questions. As they made their way back to the Clock Tower, she confronted him.

"First question-" She started, grabbing his shoulder and spinning him around.

"Shoot." He motioned with his hand with a small smile on his face.

"Why cant I feel my magic?" She asked. Links smile disappeared, and his face went serious.

"Well then, starting off with the hard ones huh? Well, My guess was that when you made contact with the ground here, you became part of Majora's plan. With what little I know, me and you are now the combined Hero of this game. And the Hero didn't exactly have the mystical arts you used to have, so they vanished. To answer the next one, no, I don't believe your stuck here." He said slowly.

"How did you know I was going to ask that?" Luna asked. She watched as Link's face turned solemn, as a sad smile crossed his face.

"I figured you would want to leave as fast as possible. In fact you should be able to leave once we get back the first Remnant." His tone was dull. "It's gonna be a pain in the butt, since we have no items, but we have to start with something." Luna nodded with vigor, But stopped upon remembering something.

"What did you buy at that store? I never did get to see it." Link's serious face disappeared and back was the light grin.

"Right!" He started fishing around his pockets. "I had seen it on my first trip around the town before the reset, and I deffinatly don't remember there being one in this game." He withdrew his hand from his pocket and in it was a weirdly shaped stick split near the end into two prongs, with a band wrapped around each prong. "This, is the Slingshot. It flings pebbles or other small objects. I probably can't kill any monsters with it, but I sure as hell can be annoying until I get the Hero's Bow." He deftly twirled the Slingshot a bit before sliding it into a small holder on his hip. "Wasn't sure If I could equip the thing, but that makes this whole thing a bit better." He mumbled before digging through his pocket again. He took out a bag that had a small explosive logo on it. "It took a bit of bargaining, but I got us both Bomb Bags. This nifty bag can hold up to Thirty bombs." He tossed one bag over to Luna. She looked inside and saw a small assortment of small Blue bombs. Luna shook her head with a smile as she put the bag in her own pocket. He then lead her to a gate being guarded by a guard in Grey armor.

"Halt! Only adults allowed outside. Termina Field is teaming with monster-" The guard started.

"See ya on the other side!" Link chuckled as he rolled underneath the guards legs. The guard himself grumbled about 'Stupid kids these days', as he looked back at Luna. He straightened up immediately though.

"Oh, you have a sword. Well, just be careful out there. Tell your friend that too." He said as he stepped aside letting Luna go. She chuckled to herself as she made her way outside, where Link was running around in the waist high grass. She smiled, as he was laughing like a little kid. She was a little sad on the inside, when she realized that she had never seen the version of him in the Mask let out so much emotion. Link stopped his running when he was in front of her, raising his arms up and crossing them behind his head.

"Just for your information, he wont let you through without a sword, so I'll have to do that every time we leave town on foot." He chuckled, and waved her on towards a large tree. She remembered this being the area that lead to that forest area. She was cut from her thinking as Link grabbed her and threw her under the grass. Just as she was about to get up and yell at him, a big bird swooped down from where she was standing. It's cry rung out as it was pelted on the head with a rock, it started flapping it wings franticly and lifting itself back into the air and away from the two.

"Thats right ya stupid bird! Git!" Link hollered at the flying bird. He eyed it for a good minute before he turned to Luna, still glancing in its direction. "We have to move quick. That bird is called a Takkuri, and it's a beginners trap. If it hits us, we lose a random item in our inventory. That includes important items like sword or the Ocarina." He said as he lead her though the area as he flicked the bird with a few more rocks to keep it away. Luna nodded her head now keeping a close eye on the bird as well.

"This world is full of terrible things, isn't it?" Luna asked as they made their way into the next area. It lead to a strange house sitting above the weird Purple water. Link seemed to be mulling a few thing's through his head, he even looked up to gauge the time. His eyes widened as he quickly took out his Ocarina and played a Song

Suddenly everything felt weird, but just as fast, it went back to normal. She blinked, waiting for something to happen, as the song sounded a lot like the one used to go back in time. She watched as Link quickly placed the Ocarina back into his pocket and smiled.

"There we go, I almost forgot to do that." When he saw the confused look on Luna's faced, his smile turned sheepish. "Oh right. Playing the Song of Time backwards has the affect of slowing time down to half. What was Three days will seem more like Six days now." At his explanation, Luna's eyes widened considerably.

"Wha- But- How?!" Luna shook her head and groaned before she simply sighed and crossed her arms in front of her chest.. "I should try to get used to stuff like that, right?" She asked.

"Yup! That Ocarina can do all kinds of things." He chuckled, as they made for the waters edge. He stopped before a bunch of Lily pads that lead across the water. "The water here isn't poisoned from the monster that took over the area. We can use these lily pads to get across so you can get used to it before we get to where we can die." Luna nodded in understanding, she could see the Purple water in the distance. As Luna made to jump, he reached out and held her back. "Hold on a second! As you are, you'll make them sink as you land on them. Let me go first." He reached into his pocket again, as Luna's face grew red.

"Are you calling me fat?!" Luna screeched, her face red with anger. She calmed down quickly after seeing him pull out a Mask from his pocket. It looked like the face of a strange tree or plant creature. It was Brown like wood, and had an open circle mouth that protruded outwards slightly. It's eyes didn't glow, but they looked like they should, as they were orange. Her eyes widened when he pulled the Mask over his face and he hunched over, as if in pain. The sound of cracking was heard, much like when her sister put of the 'Fierce Deity' Mask. It was even followed by his guttural scream of agony at the end as he was bathed in a flash of light.

Luna blinked and looked down. In front of her now stood a rather small wooden creature, it only came up to her knee's. It's face was exactly like the Mask from earlier, only the eyes were now alive and looking around. It wore Links Green hat and the lower half of his tunic..

"Link?" She asked softly. The creature spun around and faced her quickly. With a nod of its head it spoke.

"Yup!" Luna's eyes went starry at his voice. Gone was the young man's voice from a minute ago, now it was higher, and slightly echoed to the point that it was adorable. "Jeeze, what is with that voice?" Link asked himself. He found himself tugged into a hug as quickly as he spoke.

"Your adorable!" Luna called out as she nuzzled the top of his head. Link pushed his way out of her arms and stood a few feet from her. His cheeks had a slightly darker hue of brown as he turned around quickly.

"This is another Transformation Mask like the Fierce Deity Mask. I went through the beginning of the game trapped like this until I got my Ocarina back. Using another Song I broke the Magic holding me in this form, and now the Mask itself is bound to me." Link explained, while edging his way out to the waters edge up until his knees. "This is the form of a Deku Scrub. They are very light, and very fragile. They have an innate ability to hide in impossibly small spaces to avoid danger. They also can't swim. He said as he jumped onto the water's surface. Luna gasped as he did so, thinking she would have to grab him from the shallow water. However, she watched in awe as he lightly tapped a foot on the water's surface and bounced off it. He repeated twice and landed on the Lily pad without it even moving or bobbing in the water.

"I get Five bounces until I sink. Unfortunately you don't have the option, as the lily pad will start sinking immediately after you make contact. You need to plan out how you move and when. Since there are Two of us me going first is necessary, and this will happen a lot in the area we're going." Link continued, before hopping across the next couple of pads. Luna gave a running start and followed after her traveling companion.

She only fell in once, and it was near the end.

As they walked through the archway that lead to the next area, they watched as what looked to be a witch fly out of the woods to their left and into the building in the tree in front of them. Link continued in towards the woods on the right. Luna followed him in, and in front of them was a bouncing.. Monkey? Before Luna could step towards it, Link stopped her again. She glared down at the little Deku Scrub that blocked her.

"This is the Woods of Mystery. If you get lost, simply walk a random direction and stay near the entrance." Luna scoffed, how would she get lost? She took a step closer to the monkey and it began running around.

"Follow!" It spoke.

In a flash of movement, the monkey zipped around the room and left through the left doorway. She watched as Link's little Deku body ran quickly after it, leaving her flabbergasted in the room. She gathered herself quickly and raced through the door, only to almost run into Link. He was coming from the left, running towards the right doorway. Luna ground her heels into the dirt to stop her momentum and turn to the right. She ran into the next room but found herself jumping backwards due to a spinning shell of some kind charging her from her right. She caught a small glimpse of Green flutter through the door directly across from her. Using her shield she bounced the spinning spike ball aside and ran full tilt at the doorway. She slid to a stop on the other side as she looked around for signs of where to go. All she saw was the woods themselves and all she could hear was some music lightly playing in the background. Sighing, she collapsed to her knees to regain her energy.

"How can I lose a monkey and a talking tree root?" She growled lightly. She waited a minute or so, and got up to leave. As she walked to the edge of a doorway, she heard something coming from it. Suddenly a monkey leapt over her using her shoulder as a platform. Just as quickly she watched Link rush through the door, doing some little spin trick that made him go faster. He spun right through her legs and called out.

"This way!" He went through the left most doorway from her position. Luna pinched the bridge of her nose and walked over to the doorway, and noted the small group of monkeys run past her.

"Thanks little Deku, that accursed Skull Kid knocked me off my broom with his magic!" The witch kneeling on the ground in front of Link had said. In a puff of smoke, she was floating into the air on a broom. "I run the Swamp Tour, come by and I'll let you on for free." The witch said as she flew off, over the woods.

Link sighed, as he made for one of the signs that read 'Wrong way' on them.

"You ready? We're halfway to the dungeon now.." He grumbled. Luna couldn't help but chuckle at the way his voice sounded.

----Ten Minutes Later----

"Ugh, that boat ride is so much longer in person!" Deku Link grumbled. He turned to Luna, only to find her frozen stiff and the color gone from her face. He gently poked her knee to get her to move, when she grabbed him and held him tight.

"Why are there giant Octopus things too?!" She whined. Link slid out of her grasp, and walked across the wooden bridge leading to a large castle of sorts. He confused her however, when he jumped over to a lily pad next to the middle.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"I need to get inside and re-learn a song. Just wait there, you cant get far without being a Deku anyway. I won't be long." He started spinning across the water, and bouncing like a skipping tone.

Not Five minutes later, she heard him cry out from behind her. She turned to see him get flung over the Two stationed guards and landing roughly a few feet from her. He jumped up and brushed himself off.

"Even in person the King is still an ass." He growled out, as Luna laughed at his high pitched anger. She watched him bounce over to a ledge she didn't notice across the water. She carefully made her way across, being wary of the Purple water. She climbed up the ladder and stood next to a confused Link.

"There are switches? Why are there switches?" He paused for a brief moment, before he groaned. "In order to make it accessible to both of us, the game changed.. I hope that it doesn't change the dungeons.." He muttered, as he dove into the nearest Pink Deku Flower. Luna watched with interest as he popped back out and used flowers to fly through the air a short distance. When he landed on the next platform across from them, he spun and hit a tall crystal looking thing. It chimed and turned black as a pathway appeared out of thin air. The soft ticking made her realize that it was a timed event. They did the same thing over and over again, slowly gaining height as they made their way to the waterfall.

"So this if different?" Luna asked as she crossed another bridge. Deku Link huffed in annoyance as they walked into the next area.

"Yeah, but I knew the game was different when I got the slingshot." He looked over at Luna and waver her in front of him. She looked over, and saw that it was the same thing they were just doing, only there were enemies in their way. She sighed, and heard Link chuckle behind her.

"Get used to it, this place will make you use and abuse what you have." He told her as he followed behind her. After slowly trudging their way up the spiral, they made it to a pedestal. Link looked around, and spun into a pot that rested on the top. Out came a small Pink fairy, which he shoved in the bottle. He lightly tossed the bottle to Luna, who almost dropped it. "Keep that on you, that witch gave me two bottles. I'm now assuming one was meant for you. it'll come in handy." He said seriously before he brought out some strange instrument. Instead of the Ocarina, it was a mess of Pipes.. That were all connected to the same mouth piece. He quickly played out a new Song and suddenly a strange temple came jutting out of the water. Link put away the Deku Pipes and looked to Luna.

"That was the Sonata of Awakening. It has the power to wake up anything sleeping, be it Spirits or even temples. It's a song only pssed down in Deku royalty." He paused as Luna gave him a curious look. "Forgot to mention, we're here to save a the Deku Princess. Preferably before they cook a monkey because he was at the scene of her disappearance.." He muttered the last bit to himself as he jumped into another Pink flower. He quickly shot out and floated lazily over the gap to the temple. Another switch and Luna was right beside him as they entered the temple.

Link stopped suddenly as Luna kept walking to get a better look around. She saw a lot in the first room, as it was full of platforms and stairs and even more of that poison water.

"This place is amazing! Creepy, but amazing!" She turned to Link, "So where do we start?" She asked. When he didn't answer, she crouched down by him and poked his forehead. He flinched, broken out of his inner thoughts, and rushed by her to the edge of the platform and looked out at the room.

"This.. This isn't right. The dungeon should be a minimum of Six rooms all looping back to each other." His eyes followed the stairs that lead to a locked door, then they darted to the other side that had an eye sitting above another door. "This whole dungeon is different.." His eyes dropped down to the poison water, and a big golden door surrounded by it. "Its all in one room?!" Link sighed as he turned back to Luna. She was still crouched there, waiting for him.

"Well what do we do then?" She asked, sounding agitated. She watched as Link turned around and dove into a Pink flower. Hopping out and floating over to one of the many platforms. Upon hitting the crystal a bridge opened up to the platform to his right, instead of to her. She chuckled as she heard the little Deku curse loudly.

"I've gotta figure this room out first, or we'll be here all day!" He called over the gap. She watched in amusement as he moved from platform to platform mumbling to himself. A few minutes later a bridge appeared from nowhere to her right connecting to the platform that Link started on.

"Seriously?! Fuck this room!" Links voice was faint, from being on the exact opposite side of the room.

She almost fell off the platform laughing as Link threw a little tantrum. Wiping a tear from her eye she made her way onto the platform, and from there they made there way to the only unlocked door in the room. Upon entering it, there were more of those spikey turtles.

"Those are snappers, you can take them out by using bombs to flip them over and attacking with your sword." He proceeded to run into the room and dove into a Pink flower directly in front of them. The snapper looked over to her and starting spinning like the top it wasn't and zipped towards her. Luna fumbled around her pockets for her bombs and wound up just pulling her shield up to stop the Snapper. Right before it got to her, Link shot out of the ground and into the Snappers underside. A sickening 'crunch' was heard as it flipped upside down and slowly disappeared into the ground. Link landed next to her, his little circle mouth stretched into a smirk.

"Or you can run diversion while I do that." He said smugly." Luna scoffed and went for the other one to her left, leaving the one currently spinning at them from the right to him. She grabbed its attention as she grabbed a bomb from the bag in her pocket. Ignoring the fact that upon hitting the open air the bomb grew to be about the size of her head, she hurled it at the spinning Snapper. Hitting it dead center, it exploded causing the Snapper to flip upside down. Luna lunged at it, and swung her sword as rapidly as she could. After Three quick slashes it spun away from her with a screech and faded into the ground. She huffed as she breathed heavy from the excitement, turning back to where Link was she found him standing at the door leaning on it, no sign of the other Snapper to be found.

"In the future, when it's a One on One like that, going for stabs instead of slashes will dish out more damage in a shorter time." He lectured quickly as he opened pointed to the center of the room. Luna turned and watched a chest appear in a wave of light. Upon opening it, she found just a small key. With that done the Two left the room and made there way up the spiraling staircase connected to the platform. At the top was the door that required the key. Opening it up and walking in caused the door to slam shut behind them and then metal bars slid down to stop them from leaving.

Link ran in front and threw something at the ground, just as something fell from the roof. A strange Lizard walking on Two legs and holding a sword was caught in the light created from what Link threw at the ground. She watched as Link spun around it letting her have the front.

Luna charged the Lizard that was frozen in place and slashed it a few times, before remembering what Link told her about stabbing. When she went to stab it, it jumped into the air away from her. Luna chased after it and went for another slash. She was surprised when it block her sword strike with it's own sword, and did so for the next few attacks as well. There was a flash of light from behind it whena rock pelted it's head.

"Hey! Over here you overgrown Lizard!" Link's regular voice echoed through the small room, even as a few more rocked pelted it's head. As the Lizard jumped away from her she saw Link standing there with his Slingshot out, following it with it his eyes. He rolled to the side to avoid the downward slash from the air, and began doing a bunch of side jumps to dodge further slashes. With a slight smirk, he pulled back his slingshot's rubber band again, only it wasn't a rock this time. He let it go at the ground and another bright flash stopped the Lizard again. Seeing her chance, Luna jumped at the creature, landing a downwards slash of her own. Following up with a quick stab, she watched as the Lizard collapsed to the ground and disappeared into the ground. After making sure nothing else was going to attack, Luna sheathed her sword and shield and looked to Link. He had pocketed his Slingshot as well as he gave her a thumbs up and a smile.

"That was called a Lizalfos, easy if you know how to handle them." He said. Hearing the bars on the door slide back up, Luna turned to leave, but the sound of a chest appearing stopped her. Before she could even fully turn around Link was reaching into the chest with reckless abandon. "Yes! Finally!" Link called out, as he held up his new treasure. It was a simple Bow and Quiver, but she had never seen him so happy before- "~Reunited at last~" He sang out happily as he hugged it close.

-Scratch that, She would never see him this happy again apparently. She gave him a deadpan look as she motioned to the door. Upon noticing the look in her face, Link flung the Quiver onto his back and held onto the Bow with his left hand.

"This Bow is the Single most important item in the entire game, and one of the most useful." He countered, as he made his way outside. As soon as they stood back on the platform he took quick aim and shot an arrow across the large room, hitting the small eye sitting above the door. Luna squinted her eyes as she had trouble seeing the small target.

"How did you-?" She began.

"Practice my dear, a lot of practice." Link said proudly. He then pulled out the Deku Mask again as a platform from the bottom of the dungeon floated upwards. "Now, back to being this dungeons bridge maker.." He muttered. Luna laughed as he disappeared in a flash of light, being replaced by his smaller Deku body. He dove into the Pink flower sitting right there and made his way to the platform. Spinning to activate the crystal, Luna watched as a bridge appeared.. On the other side.

"What?! How the-" He grumbled the last bit to himself, as he looked up. He muttered a few things that Luna could only guess were insults or profanity. She watched in curiosity as he seemed to form a bubble out of his mouth. He let it loose and it flew wobbly up to the roof, smacking into another crystal that was hanging upside down. Another bridge formed shortly after, and Luna made her way across to Link. She even caught the last bit of another monologue.

"Stupid, asinine level design.. Making me do everything everywhere!" He grumbled as they made there way into the next room. The door once again was bared up behind them. As if snapped from his own inner musings, Link quickly took off his Deku Mask and pulled out his bow.

"Get your bombs ready." He said softly. Suddenly a Four foot tall frog jumped down from the roof. Before Luna could make any judgements on it's appearance other than that, it was shot by Three consecutive arrows, one to the shoulder, stomach and second shoulder. It howled and jumped back. It whistled out like it was calling something, and something came digging up from the ground. A Snapper, easily Three times the size of any other Snapper they had come across was standing in front of them. The frog jumped on top of it and laughed maniacally as the Snapper started spinning. Link dove to the left and Luna dove to the right, as the Snapper slammed into the wall and followed after Link. Luna took this chance to grab a bomb from her pocket, which was a lot easier after the first time. She lobbed it at the Snapper but missed and watched as the bomb just sat there and flashed red as it counted down from some sort of timer. She reached and pulled out another and lobbed it, this time ahead of the Snapper. It may not have hit it dead center, but with it too focused on Link it just rolled right into the bomb and it exploded, it even slid into the other bomb just as it exploded. The Snapper flipped over and launched the frog away from it. It jumped to the wall and started climbing it rapidly, even so much as sticking to the ceiling.

"Yay, your faster.. I'm not dealing with this garbage!" Link's voice called from behind Luna. She turned only to see Link holding his Bow sideways aiming up at the rapidly moving frog. His eyes and bow following it like it was more of an annoyance than a threat. But what really got Luna's attention was the fact that that Link didn't just have an Arrow notched on the bow, he had Three of them. The string of the Bow being held back by his whole hand rather than a few fingers, this let the Three arrows sit parallel to each other as the string was straight in his hand. With a small jump sideways he let the Arrows fly and soar towards the frog. It barely had time to blink before both its hands were pinned to the roof and the other Arrow lay wedged in it's neck. A slight gargle was all it got out before it slid off the arrows and into the ground, vanishing like everything else they had defeated. The same happed to the Snapper, as it didn't have a Master anymore. Luna watched as Link made his way to the back of the room and fetched the item from the fancy chest in the back. It had contained a rather Big Key, and they made there way back out to the platform.

"More changes?" Luna asked as Link looked down at the ground. He seemed to find what he was looking for as he turned to Luna.

"Just a minor one, so I made my own." He grinned, and pulled on his Deku Mask again.

"Now, when you see the water change color, jump into it, ok?" Without waiting for her response, he ran at the ledge and jumped off. Luna yelped in surprise as she rushed to the ledge. She watched as Link landed in the water.. Only to bounce away to the edge. A few moments later, the water changed to a clear blue. Shrugging her shoulders, she jumped.

She fell and landed in the water with a small splash. She looked over to Link, who was already unlocking the big Golden door. She rushed over and entered the room with him.

"In a rush?" She asked with a glare.

"I'm sick of this Temple already, I just want to get it over with." The door slammed down behind them and sealed them in. "Okay now, this boss will either be easy, or amazingly difficult. If I say 'Easy' that means I want you to wait and attack when I stun him. If I say 'Hard' I want you to keep your shield up at all times. Never pull it down, and never take your eyes off him." Luna nodded at his words, knowing fully that he knew what he was talking about. They made there way to the center of the room, and it suddenly lit up. Luna say a bunch of Deku flowers laying in the ground.

"Oh thank god, Easy!" Link called out, as he dove into a flower and popped into the air. As he did so, a large creature jumped from the roof, and stood with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other. On it's head it wore a Mask of it's own, it looked like a tribal Mask of sorts, kind of like a flower with a face on it?

Instantly it started to dance, it's janky movements made it hard to figure out what was a possible attack or just it moving around. Link dropped another of those nut things and caused it to hit the ground and flash the crazy dancing monster. It slumped over and revealed a glowing Purple eye on the top of it's Masked head. Luna took her chance and jumped up and landed a falling slash to it's head. She followed up with a few stabs.

The creature suddenly shot up, and jumped away from her. Just as it landed, Link was already floating above it sending another nut-bomb down to stun it. She jump attacked again, and repeated her stabs until the monster let loose a cry and flailed away from her. She watched as it clutched it's head and kneeled down on the ground.

"Is that it?" Link's presence beside her made Luna jump. She gently bopped him on the head with a scowl as she turned to scold him.
The creature quickly rose from it's hunched over position and did a weird dance. Link let out a surprised noise as he went to reach for his Mask.

In an instant a wave of fire erupted from it's position and made its way through both combatants. Luna had raised her shield as it washed over her, the flames only licking at her shoes. Just as she was about to ask Link what came next, she was horrified. Next to her was a small inferno, screeching in agony and rolling on the ground. Link's wooden body had ignighted before he could take off his Mask, as he smouldered into a dead husk. Steam and smoke rose from his now dead eyes and mouth, his whole body black from the fire, as it crumbled into a small pile of ash.

Luna could only gasp at the sight as she reached for his charred Green hat that lay on top. She stopped suddenly, as something strange happened. A small Pink fairy shot out of his hat and circled his ashes. It circled it so much that it became a pink light enveloping the wjole ash pile.

When the light died down, Luna couldn't help but gasp again as she saw the little Deku standing there with a bewildered look on his face. She dove at him and gave him a hug, tears streaming down her face.

"I thought you were dead!" She cried out. She was shocked when he quickly threw her arms off of her, but she realized why, when he reached up and yanked off his Deku Mask. Standing at his normal height he glared at the boss.

"Sorry, but that has to wait!" He yelled as he pushed her to the side as he dove to the oposite side. The monster's sword landing where they had both been just moments ago. Luna raised her shield as Link spoke again. "Switching to Hard mode at the last second was a dick move!" He said pulling an Arrow back and firing it at the boss only for it to swing it's sword and deflect it. It focused on Link as it danced it's way towards him.

"Try to get him to focus on you!" He called out to Luna. She nodded, as she rushed towards it. Link's words from before were still ringing through her head, so she kept her shield up and went for some stabs. It ducked under the stabs and kicked at her legs. Luna was sent tumbling to the ground as it turned to her, sword raised up for a strike. An Arrow lodged into its head, knocking it's aim off and making it slam it's sword into the ground. Luna got up and went for another stab, when it dodged backwards, she did another. At it's second dodge, and Arrow lodged into the other side of it's head, Luna lunged with a full force stab. It connected with its torso, and it stagared. Another arrow lodged into it's head on the back, and it fell over like it was tired.

"Now!" Link called from behind it. Without thinking about it, Luna jumped into the air and jammed her blade into the Monster's head all the way to the hilt.

Silence rained through the room, as the creature simply went limp. It's form began evaporating and Luna pulled her sword from it's disapearing corpse. All that remained was it's tribal Mask, that seemed to emit a strange yet powerful magic.

Luna and Link walked up to it, and both grabbed the Mask. It faded as soon as they did, and Luna felt some of Link's Magic returning. Non of her's returned however, and just before she could ask about it, she was blinded by a white light. She covered her eyes, and felt the telltale signs of being teleported.

When she lowered her arms, she found herself on a strange platform surrounded by white clouds that blurred out almost everything around her. In the distance, she could faintly see something big. She turned to Link, only to see him nod at the new being. She looked back to it, and watched it slowly not baqck, it whole upper body made the motion, as it seemed to be just a head and legs with arms. Just as she got comfy in this new place, she was teleported out with Link. They found themselves in some cave like structure with a grotto of sorts behind them.

"So." Link gained her attention. "I can send you back now, if you-"

"Yes! Get me out of here!" Luna cried out. Link just chuckled.

"Yeah, I figured as much. It sure was alot to take in wasn't it?" His smile faded. "Just a quick note, I can't leave until I have all my magic back."

"Don't worry." Luna smiled, as she drew him into a hug. "I'll be back, I just want to.. Take a break." She let out an axasperated sigh. Link chuckled, as he placed a hand on her forehead.

"Since I'm stuck in here, you can't, under any circumstances, let anyone else wear the Mask. I can't override what Majora does while I'm here." He spoke seriously. Luna nodded in understanding. Link smiled as he let her mind leave the Mask in a flash of Blue light.

"Now.. Which side quest to do?" He mused to himself.

----Canterlot----

Luna gasped, as the Mask fell from her face. Her eyes adjusting quickly to the light again as she looked around. She was in her bedroom, and so was her sister.

"Luna? Are you okay?" Celestia asked softly.

"Yes, very." Luna nodded, as her sister hugged her.

"And our little friend?" Celestia asked, barely a twinge of worry on her face. Luna chuckled lightly as she got a flash of Link in his Deku form when her sister said the word 'little'.

"He'll be fine, he just needs a little help inside the Mask." She explained Celestia seemed to be fine with that explanation.. For now.

"I'll expect a slightly more detailed explanation at dinner, Luna." Celestia said.

"Oh? Is Loonie awake?" A childlike voice called from outside.

"Oh right, Dissy came back from his trip." Celestia said with a smile. As the door opened up and a small creature walked in. His head was pony shaped, he has a deer antler on the right, a blue goat horn on the left, one long fang, different-sized pupils, a snake tongue, a small goat beard, and white bushy eyebrows. He has the right arm of a lion, the left claw of an eagle, the right leg of a lizard, and the left leg of a goat. In addition, he has a bat's right wing, a Pegasus' left wing, a horse's mane, and a dragon-like snake's tail with a white tail tuft. The shape of his body resembles that of a snake. Overall he was only half the size of either Luna or Celestia.

"Discord?" Luna groaned.

"Hi Loonie! I felt a massive wave of magic and I knew I needed to-" He stopped as he glanced at the Mask laying in her lap. It's eyes flashed Orange, and his eyes widened ever so slightly. He shook his head lightly, as he addressed Luna.

"What's that?" Discord asked Luna in his small voice. Luna grabbed the Mask, and got up from her bed.

"Nothing you need to know about little one." Her tone was sharp, as she followed her sister out of the room. Discord's eyes followed the Mask without blinking, and a small smile crept onto his face as he floated after the two. His own eyes flashed orange for but a brief moment.
