AN Okay, it's official! After this chapter, is the very last chapter!! (Then there'll be the Epilogue! I HAVE to include that =D) Sorry it took so long to update, I just couldn't get myself to sit down and write (instead of sitting down and reading...XD) Seeing fics that were on HOLD being continued before mine (which wasn't, I was just being too lazy) really got my butt into gear. And I PROMISE the next chapter and Epilogue won't take so darn long! As for my other YuuGiOu fic, that one's currently dead ;; NOT buried yet, there's a teeny tiny SLIVER bit of hope left for it still. Anyway, on with the second to last chapter!

Chapter Fourteen
A Rather Unpleasant Surprise
Yugi got up from laying down, and looked around him. He was in a weird room, that seemed kind of pinkish, and the walls were rather wet. Wondering when he could've gotten in a room such as this, he turned around, getting a rather big shock. Right behind him was a set of rather large razor sharp teeth, gums and all. Yugi rubbed his eyes, they were still there.
"Uh, Navi?"
"....Hmm?" She wasn't really paying attention, as she was currently totally focused on the teeth as well.
"Did we just get eaten, or something?" He thought back trying to remember, when it suddenly all came back to him. The Juba...Jaba... fish... thing... swallowed him whole! That was an excellent example of something that doesn't happen everyday. Especially not to a Kokiri boy. "Well, since we're here, may as well find that Rebecca, now shall we?"
Navi didn't respond, but just started following a little behind him. They would have continued on their way, if they hadn't been ambushed by a few Octorocks, and Bubbles.
"Navi, do you know anything about these things?" Yugi asked, whie dodging stones being spat at him out of the Octorocks' mouths.
"Yeah, Octorocks are exactly the same as Deku Scrubs, only they are aquatic, instead. As for those Bubbles, they can and will hurt you if you touch them. Be careful if you use your sword against them, as they can bounce off and hurt you at the same time!"
Yugi quickly took his shield off his back, and deflected the stones. Despite her warning, he sliced the Bubbles anyway, and blocked their blow with his shield. Pretty good for a person that never fought before, before recently. With the monsters slayed, Yugi and Navi continued forward, before they found their way blocked by some strange goopy yellow seaweed that refused to budge.
"Well, there's gotta be SOMEWAY to get this off this... door... or whatever you'd call it." Yugi muttered, while trying various things to get rid of the offender.
"Hey, look!" Navi flew up to what could be a switch, a few feet away from the door. "Do you think this could be a switch, or something?"
"Maybe... If only I wasn't so short... and no offense, but being as small as you are, you are kind of weak..."
Navi ignored that remark. Yugi dug around in his pockets looking for something, ANYTHING that could hit it. A-hah! His trusty Fairy Slingshot might do the trick! Yugi dug it out of his pocket, and carefully loaded a Deku Seed into the string; took careful aim and released it. By some miracle, it hit on his first try, and the switch went up, and the seaweed on the door disappeared.
"Well that wasn't hard." They both cautiously opened the door, and walked out, in a James Bond style, not wanting to have a surprise attack. There wasn't much in there, just two doors (one was unaccessable) two crates, and a pulsating floating jelly-fish coming their way. Yugi wrinkled his nose.
"Man, doesn't this fish guy EVER kill his food before eating it?" He pulled out his sword and attempted to slice it up, but got electricuted instead. Eyes swirly, and his footing wobbly, "Gee... That wasn't fun..." Figuring he better get out of there before witnessing the jelly fishes attack again, he opened the door, and there he saw...
"Rebecca!? Nah, looks more like something weird Lord Jabu-Jabu ate." Her face turned from mysterious to anger.
"I AM Rebecca you idiot!" She growled. And stubbornly walked off and promptly fell into a hole. "KYAAAAA!" (NOTE that she is NOT human, she's a Zora)
"Well... that was interesting." Yugi snorted, and walked over and leapt down the hole as well. As soon as she saw his entrance, Rebecca started to snap at him,
"Who are you!? And what are you doing here!?"
"Well, I'm Yu-"
"Who asked you!?" She interrupted.
Yugi frowned, "You did-"
"Never mind that! What are you doing here?" She once again interrupted. Not exactly what you would call a polite girl.
"I came here to find you since you wrote that letter in a bottle-"
"What letter?" She asked, confused but grumpy. Yugi sighed at once AGAIN being interrupted by this bratty girl.
"If you'd just let me finish... You wrote a letter, put in a bottle and it managed to get to Lake Hylia. It basically said you got swallowed, and you asked for help, but not to tell the king."
"What are you talking about?" She inquired, confusion written all over her face. "I wrote no such letter."
"Well I'd show it to you, but King Zora took it, I still have the bottle though."
"So my father asked you to come and get me?"
"Yeah, something like that."
"My father's that worried about me?"
"Yes." Yugi replied, happy that he was finally getting through to her.
"I don't care! I'm fine. I've been coming here since I was a little kid... Lord Jabu-Jabu is strange now, though. All of these jelly fish and holes appeared. And what's worse, my precious stone... Anyway... Go home! You're really determined, aren't you?" She added when she saw that Yugi hadn't moved a budge.
"Fine. I'll give you the honor of carrying me. But I am NOT going anywhere until I find what I'm looking for. Got that!?" And with that she sat down, looking up at him expectantly.
Yugi sighed, and surprisingly obliged, and picked her up and carried her over his head. She was a lot lighter than he expected.
Through all of their talking, several jellyfish floated dangerously close to them. Noticing a door behind them, Yuugi hurriedly went through.
Once through,there was a short winding passage along with some more floating bubbles, shabom. He set her down carefully, and salyed the shabom. He then noticed that he was on a ledge, and right across him was another ledge, the way to go. Looking down, he saw shallow water and a switch. With an idea forming in his head, he went back and picked up Rebecca, and jumped down the ledge.
"What the heck..." She muttered. He then tossed her on top of the ledge across, and stepped on the switch. As he expected, the shallow water rasied up high enough for him to climb on the ledge. Once again he picked up Rebecca and dodged some more Shabom.
Seeing another one of those hanging switches, he tossed her up at it (she let out a surprised yelp) and a door opened. Inside, was a circular platform that moved up and down.
He leapt on it, and waited for it to take him up. 'I wonder where this leads...' He got his answer, the second room he entered since he was swallowed. He walked back onto land and went through the door that he went through before already.
Sure enough, they were back in the room where they first met. He walked through the door across the room, while carefully stepping around the holes in the floor.
"Now what?" He wondered aloud. "What are those claw things sticking out of the floor? He went over for a closer inspection. The "claws" happily popped out of the ground and attacked.
After he got electricuted every time he sliced one of them, he noticed that there was a three-way fork in the path. Straight ahead had a strange slimy thing blocking the path. So he chose the passage on the right.
There was another fork in the path. One had another slimy thing, and the other had a locked door with a switch.
With their weight combined, the switch was pushed, and the seaweed retreated from the door.
Inside there were three floating stingrays. After shooting them each twice with his trusty fairy slingshot, a chest appeared in the room.
Inside was a boomerang! He walked out of the room and returned to the center of the room. This time he took the path to the left. He noticed a blue switch, and stepped on it. The door opened, but when he stepped off of it, the door locked again.
"This leaves us with no choice." Yugi announced.
"What choice?" Rebecca asked. Yugi set her down on the switch, and the door once again was opened. Leaving her behind, he walked towards the door.
"HEY! What do you think you're doing!? Come back here!" She yelled at him angrily. Yugi ignored her and went through the door with Navi. Inside was a hanging red thingy that was bloated, except for the center, which was thin.
"Parasitic tentacle" It seems that the narrow part is its weak point... You need a certain weapon to destroy it." Navi told him, as if reading from an encyclopedia.
"Could it be the boomerang?" He turned to her and asked.
"Could be." She answered.
"Okay then!" He said cheerfully, and pulled the newly obtained item and threw it at the center. It hit without hesitation, and the tentacle shuddered.
"Hey I'm not bad at this." Yugi said cheerfully. He took aim and threw it again. This time the tentacle collapsed and vanished.
Once again, a chest appeared. He ran over and opened it. Inside was a map.
"This'll come in handy." Yugi said cheerily. He went back out of the room, and was greeted with a very angry Rebecca.
"How could you leave me behind!? Take responsibility!" Yugi sighed and picked her up again. Outside was the other door which was blocked before by a slimy thing.
"Hey it's gone. Do you think it'll be the same with the other two?" (Outside in the room where Y and R met, was a green thing in one of the holes)
"It's worth a try." Yugi replied.
Inside the room, was a bunch of shabom (the bubbles). After destroying all of them, ANOTHER chest appeared!
"How many chests are there in this place? Not that I'm complaining." Yugi commented, and opened it. Inside was a compas.
"Perfect!" Yugi exclaimed. He went out and returned to the center of the room with the claw things. Once again he walked to the right, and the tentacle was gone!
"But we didn't slice a tentacle..." Yugi, said confused. He went through the once blocked door and went inside.
There was another dangling tentacle inside. Yuugi easily destroyed it like the first one with his boomerang. Much to his disppointment, no treasure chest presented itself.
"Rats." He went out and unsurprisingly, the last door wasn't blocked! Inside was a third tentacle, which he quickly destroyed. Once again, no chest.
"Awww..." He left the room and returned to the room with the holes. Noticing the last tentacle was gone, he jumped down the hole it was in.
"Finally, I was tired of those tentacles and the claw things." Yugi said relieved. Together, the three of them went through the door behind him.
Inside, was a beautiful glowing sapphire on a platform.
"Could it be..." Yugi whispered in awe.
Rebecca started flailing.
"That's it! That's what I've been looking for! Throw me up on that platform!"
Yugi tossed her up. She picked the stone up happily.
"I finally found my mother's stone... I was really upset when Lord Jabu-Jabu swallowed it... while I was feeding him, he suddenly swallowed me! I was so surprised, that I dropped it on the way in. Now that I've found it, I don't need to be here anymore. You! Take me home!"
But when Yugi approached the platform, it suddenly rocketed up through a hole in the ceiling.
"KYAAA! What is this!? An octopus!?" The platform came down, but instead of Rebecca, it was was a massive monster that looked like a huge octorock with a shell. It charged at him, and sent him flying.
"UWAAAAA!" Yugi cried out in pain. The thing whipped around and fled. Growling, Yugi threw his boomerang at it, and it froze in its tracks. He sliced it with his sword. The thing turned around and charged into Yugi, once again sending him flying, winded. And once again, it ran away. After getting flung around several more times, and freezing and slicing its butt off, the monster was defeated.
Yugi climbed onto the platform, and like Rebecca, got elevated up through the ceiling's hole. Yugi went through a door straight up. Up ahead was alone platform, and was quite surprised when it shot down when he stepped onto it.
The once unaccessible door was now open to him. Inside were some giant glittering jellyfish, which attached themselves to the hideous monster Barinade. It's time to duel! (Meant to be cheesy)
On Barinade's body were some tentacles attached to the ceiling, and they started shooting lightning bolts at him. Poor Yugi had to run around Barinade in circles to avoid getting hit.
"Yugi, we need to do something!"
"I know, but what!?" Yugi cried out in exasperation. Suddenly, it hit him. If the tentacles shooting him were attached to the ceiling, what would happen if the connection was gone?
While still running around in circles, Yugi pulled out his boomerang and threw it at one of the tentacles. It was ripped and fell uselessly to the floor. One of the lightning shooters was put out of commision. Yugi continued this pattern until all of the tentacles were gone.
But Barinade wasn't finished yet. It started swinging the jellyfish around in circles, trying vainly to hit Yugi. Its once protected body was now left very vulnerable. Yugi threw his boomerang at its body and it froze. He ran up and sliced it a few times.
Hitting Barinade again with the boomeragn, it sunk to the floor, its jellyfish unattached and weak. Yugi ran up and killed all of the jellyfish, whilst avoiding lightning bolts.
Barinade rose, and came after him, but Yugi hit it with his boomerang. Yugi sliced it a few times and Barinade unfroze.
After repeating this once, Barinade started growing desperate. It shot several lightning bolts at Yugi at once.
Yugi got his, and was sent back several feet screaming in pain. Panting, Yugi hit Barinade with the boomerang, and cut it several times.
Blisters started bubbling all over Barinade's body. Yugi just stared at it, exhausted.
Without warning, Barinade blew up, its body parts, blood and gutd spraying all over the room. Yugi was too tired to feel disgusted.
Like in the first two dungeons, the glowing blue circle appeared in the room on the floor.
Yugi wearily stepped into it. Rebecca was there too, her face was all red.
"You... you're late! What took you so long? You're useless! I was just lonely, that's all... just a little!"
The two of them were beamed outside in Zora's Fountain. Rebecca swam up really close to him.
"You! You looked cool... cooler than I thought you would anyway... just a little! Well, anyway, you saved me, so I guess I'll reward you. What do you want?"
"The Spiritual Stone!" Yugi blurted. Navi swatted him for his rudeness.
"You mean the Zora's Sapphire, don't you? My mother gave it to me and said I should give it to the man who will be my husband. You might call it the Zora's Engagement Ring. I'll give you my most precious possession: Zora's Sapphire!" She handed him the beautiful shining stone.
"Don't tell my father." With that said and done, she swam away.
"We finally collected all three stones, Yugi! Let's go tell Tea..." She stopped when she saw Yugi floating on his back in the water, asleep.
She smiled at him warmly. "Well, maybe after we have a rest..."
To Be Continued...
= He just refuses to remember it's called 'Lord Jabu-Jabu', doesn't he?
= YES, he is Hylian, but he still thinks that he's a Kokiri.
AN This story's coming to a close. One more chapter, and the epilogue. Please review. See you next weekend with the next chapter! (And that's a promise)
Ja ne!
