Samus nodded, giving it some thought for a moment. From what little she heard, the Gorons were a proud people, so it was likely they would respond to power. Power was something the group had plenty of, but that begged the question of morality. Would it be right to strike fear into their hearts? It seemed only natural to Samus to come to the decision to climb Death Mountain directly. [b]"Let's climb it. My shielding can handle a few rocks, and if that proves too much, Hypermode will work just fine."[/b] She wished for a moment that she had her Speed Booster, because that would really let her power through those rockfalls. When the group reached the top of the stairs, something else seemed to start happening, something the group in Castle Town would also notice. The avatars found themselves unable to move, and everything around them raced as though time were sped up. Castle Town was raided, causing people to leave. Undead creatures then popped up. Kakariko started expanding to accomodate the Castle Town refugees, and that's about when the event stopped. However, the more organic nature of the new Hyrule also meant a new guard was posted by the gate, and the gate was closed again after being disused for so long. When he noticed the avatars approaching the gate, he came to attention and said, [b]"What business do you have in Death Mountain? Nobody goes there since Ganondorf swept the entire Goron race off to who knows where. People are saying he fed them to a dragon, can you believe that?"[/b]
