Beaten and dying, the light of the sun shining through the "wonderful" world of the twilight that is now no more in the world of light. Ganondorf lay close to death. He began seeing a light much brighter than there was already present.
"Well… I guess this is the end, isn't it?" he said quietly to himself. He knew his time was coming to an end. He felt lighter and lighter, as if his soul was separating from his body, but then that feeling reversed. His soul was being pulled back in and the light was getting dimmer. He was regaining his strength back, but how? He opened his eyes and saw a familiar figure. He was wearing a twili helmet and a cloak which blow in the wind as he hovered over Ganondorf. "Zant?" he asked. The figure nodded his head.
"My Lord, I have saved you from death, so that you may rise again," Zant said, bowing. Ganondorf smiled.
"So you came all this way to find me and save me. Wow." Ganondorf said as he looked up happily, "You shall be rewarded for your loyal services. You shall share the throne and help me rule when the twilight takes over once more." Zant extended a hand and helped Ganondorf up. "My, the light here has become so strong and the gods here are back in power, so this will be no easy task."
"May I be so bold as to suggest a different starting place for our reign?" Zant said his voice enlightened. Ganondorf turned to Zant and smiled.
"I'm open to suggestions," Ganondorf said eagerly.
"There's an ancient place way back in time, about a hundred years ago. Two hundred years before that time, a great monster was defeated and sealed away. One hundred years later, that demon was unleashed once more, along with many others, and they were all defeated as well. Though the gods regained there power after that, over another hundred year period that power was lost. The way of life is still primitive and weak, and even now those monsters can be put to good use. For there is an ark that houses their souls and their boss should be more than willing to help us, for he is the embodiment of all darkness. If we go back in time to that place, we should be able to change history and cover the world in twilight while it's still young. So, what do you say, Master?" Zant said to Ganondorf. Ganondorf thought about it for a moment and then smiled.
"Perfect," Ganondorf said slyly. The two looked at each other smiling and then they were off. They moved swiftly and with purpose as they went to a secret place where Zant had hidden away a mirror.
"This shall take us to where we need to go," he said slyly. Ganondorf couldn't wait to get started, but he wanted to know what had defeated those monsters in the first place.
"Zant? How did something defeat those monsters without the gods' power?" Ganondorf asked nervously.
"Oh the sun goddess came down in wolf form and her back praise as she defeated them one after another. Praise is the gods' source of power, without it their weak. The twilight should suppress the praise and increase the monsters strength," Zant said quite calmly. Ganodorf nodded and calmed himself. Zant activated the mirror and was about to step in.
"What is this place called?" Ganondorf asked.
"This land is called... Nippon," Zant said stepping in. He offered his hand to Ganondorf, and when he took it, there was a flash of light and they were in the land of Nippon. It looked so lush and beautiful. Ganondorf smiled and chuckled a bit.
"Wow, this land sure looks... pleasent. The gods have done well, but not well enough," Ganondorf said. There was no presence of an opposing force. Zant lead Ganondorf all the way to the Ark of Yamato. The ark was decorated with green glowing lines in a pattern that reminded him of those of the twili.
"There's someone that I'd like you meet, My Lord," Zant said as he allowed Ganondorf to enter the iron ark. Inside was a large interior with the same glowing green lines found on the exterior of the ark. There were several monsters: a giant, ugly spider, a firey bull with a crimson helmet, an eight-headed snake, a possed disease with green mist and multiple swords stuck through him, a nine-tailed fox, two mechanical demon owls, and a giant metal ball with many glowing lines similar to those in the ark. Ganondorf approached and some of the other monsters started to growl. A hand came out of the ball and the monsters became silent. He must be their leader. Zant then came up to the giant ball and bowed.
"Sir Yami, there is someone I'd like you to meet," Zant said, then beckoned for Ganondorf to come closer. Ganondorf did so. "This is Ganondorf. He is the master of a force called the twilight and will help you get back into power," Zant said to Yami. Parts of the metal ball shifted and out came a small glass orb with what looked to be a whale fetus inside.
"Power you say?" boomed Yami, much louder than one would expect. "How will this twilight help to restore my reign over this sacred land?
"Twilight has the ability to render all humans and creatures helpless and faithless, especially in these primitive times. With the power of twilight, all evil beings will become stronger. We failed the first time for we come from the future where it is much more civilized, but we came close. With you help, nothing shall be able to match us in power," Zant said and Ganondorf stood proudly and nodded. The other demons looked at each other skeptically.
"I'd like to see proof of this power," Yami demanded. Zant formed a mystical cloud which showed what effect the twilight had on Hyrule. Yami was suprised by the image of the people become mere wisp of soul light and cowering and watched the gods fall from power. He saw all of the great power the twilight monsters had obtained. he was very impressed. The other demons then looked at each other in shock and awe. Zant then made the cloud vanish.
"Very well. This is a magnificent power as you described. And I can only imagine what we could do if we had it too, so Ganondorf is it?" Yami said facing the giant black figure.
"Yes," Ganondorf said confidently.
"I wish to form a pack with you. I would love to harness the power of twilight," Yami said eargerly.
"A pack sounds wonderful, but in return for the power of twilight, Zant and I would like to share the throne with you. So what do you say?" Ganondorf said smiling. Yami looked down and pondered for a moment. The other demons looked around nervously. Yami then raised his head.
"Very well then. You have a deal," Yami said, he then turned to his minions, "Go forth and greet your new master, with him we shall rule Nippon once more!" All of the demons ran to greet Ganondorf. Each introduced themselves.
"Welcome, Master Ganondorf. I am the Spider Queen," said the giant spider as she smiled at him.
"Welcome, Master Ganondorf. I am Crimson Helm," said the bull as he bowed down to him.
"Welcome, Master Ganondorf. I am Orochi," the snake said, all heads bowing down.
"Welcome, Master Ganondorf. I am Blight," said the disease as he bowed down.
"Welcome, Master Ganondorf. I am Ninetails," said the fox as she nuzzled his hand.
"We welcome you, Master Ganondorf. We are Lechku and Nechku," the owls said bowng down.
"Thank you for all of the greetings, now for the twilight," Ganondorf said as he throw out a bolt of greenish light. All of the monsters turned black and had the patterned green lines all over their bodies. They smiled at the feeling of their new power. The turned to face a now Twilit Yami.
"Be off my minions and let us reconquer what we used to have!" Twilit Yami boomed, and with that all of the demons darted off. They broke the barrier of praise and allowed Ganondorf and Zant to obscure the land in twilight. Twilit Yami stood beside Ganondorf and Zant as they all watched their plan unfold. They all howled with great laughter at the sight. "Oh what a glorious day this is!" Yami yelled out. Everything was being overcome by twilight and the gods were loosing power fast. A wood sprite watched in horror as the spectical took place. She was dressed in pink and sat in a great cherry tree.
"I must find someone who can help with this. Amaterasu won't be able to do this task alone," the wood sprite said and she was off.
