Hello! I used to have a Miitopia fanfic up and posted a long while back, I believe a year ago, but I decided to take it down and revise it, as I wasn't too happy with it. When I did it last year, I decided to fill in all the roles with characters I like or was familiar with, since at the time I started this and played Miitopia, I was unable to get spotpass working so all the roles were the generic miis, but honestly... I wasn't too happy with the choices I made, so I took down the previous fic and revised it. Basically, the heroes are all either based off close friends or other people I like, or they're my favorite characters. I also made sure the minor roles made sense to me, and here I am again, redoing this fic.

However... I highly doubt I'll be the most active in fanfic posting, especially now since I'm a college student, and college is keeping me busy, but I'll do my best! This first chapter is a revision of the first chapter in the last attempt.

In a seemingly normal planet where creatures live, there lives a continent known as Miitopia, a land where the inhabitants - humans and others alike - are known as Miis. It is a continent where every Mii lives in peace and harmony.

…

Or at least it once lived in peace.

The darkness came without warning.

A great and terrible shadow threatening all of Miitopia!

The vast blue sky remained plain as the wind blew softly. A young traveler, a simple girl, kept her eyes on the sky, relaxing on the evergreen hills. Her brown hair tied in braided pigtails laid gently by her arms, and her dark eyes matched the color of her hair while sparkling with curiosity of the country she is now in. Dressed comfortably in a pale pink tunic with torn leggings and sturdy brown boots, she sighed before closing her eyes to ponder. All she wanted was to see him, and she traveled for about three months now. Although she had no clues or hints of where he could be, she was determine to find him, no matter what.

This girl was known as Aria Watch.

Sitting up, Aria noticed the harmless flapping wings of pink moth nearby, flying in harmony, and she smiled, remembering the life she once lived. In the past three months, she longed for the comfort of her home, recalling the warmth of her mother's hug and the laughter of her siblings, but she knew she had to leave, as their lives weren't the same without him.

Standing up, a spark caught her eye, and she came near the glow, curious of what it could be.

"What is…" she slowly whispered, her eyes widening as she examined it. "Are those floating eyes?"

When she had been lying down, Aria had longed for a daydream of a song about sleep, growing tired from the endless walking. Upon seeing the pair of eyes floating above her, the tiredness fled from her body, snapping Aria to reality as she questioned the glow with baffled curiosity. Nearby her, one pink moth came towards the glow, perhaps just as curious as the young woman, and Aria kept her attention to the pair of eyes, witnessing them circling the moth until she witnessed it in shock: the eyes attaching itself to the moth, becoming one foul creature.

The nature of the creature turned dark, and Aria trembled slightly as she noticed the cruel nature in the once calm moth. Coming towards her, the screeching frightened her, leading her to run as fast as her legs can take her.

She wouldn't stop running until the distant sight of a town came to her vision.

Greenhorne, a simple little town, delivered a welcoming aura as she arrived. The calm atmosphere of the town calmly soothed away the fright inside her, yet she couldn't bring herself to forget what she had seen. Upon the first villager she saw, Aria ran towards him in a panic.

"It's a little boring today," a carefree villager, who everyone knew as Mey, commented quietly to himself. As he noticed her coming towards her, his eyebrows raised in question upon noticing her panicked expression. "What's up with you? What's wrong?" Mey asked her.

"I saw a monster with a person's face!" Aria cried.

"A monster with a person's face?" Mey heard it and replayed her words in his head before his laughter bursted free. "You gotta be kidding me!" he exclaimed laughing. "Greenhorne's a peaceful place," he stated calmly, brushing aside Aria's warning. "It's a place to leave all your woes behind."

In disbelief, Aria slowly pouted as Mey did not taking her seriously. As he scoffed her aside and claimed the town has been peaceful, Aria simply walked off, continuing to explore the town, meeting cheery granny Omiyo.

"Oh joyous day," Omiyo sang. "Isn't the weather just beautiful? She cheered with a smile. "Oh adventurer, why the long face?" She asked while noticing Aria's panicked face, but never allowed her the chance to answer. "You can't go around looking like that," she told her. "Come on, give us a smile," she commanded, and Aria couldn't resist, feeling soothed by Omiyo's warm-hearted face. "A smile brings lots of happiness," Omiyo concluded.

"Thank you," Aria thanked her before continuing on, soon to be confronted by a sassy little boy.

"Rawr! Rawr!" The child, known to the village as Taka, yelled to Aria. "I'm a dragon! Rawr!" With an endless amount of energy, he continued running in circles around Aria.

"Stop it, Taka!" His worried mother, Muffy, cried to her son, running up towards him, but Taka immediately ran off upon hearing his mother's voice, and Aria noticed him run towards a group of young girls with nearly identical faces. "Calm down or you'll hurt yourself!" Muffy screamed at her son, only to sigh deeply. "This child has me on my wit's ends," she sighed once more before noticing Aria. "Oh adventurer, please excuse me," she apologized. "My child has so much energy. It's hard for me to keep up."

Aria smiled and she understood. Growing up, she had seen her little brother with lots of energy, and she knew how tiring it was to constantly keep an eye out. Aria continued to roam around town, feeling a little sorry for Muffy, only to notice a sickenly sweet couple.

"D'awww…"

"Tee hee hee"

"You're so cute, Ana!"

"No, you're cute, Ike!"

"I feel like I'm dreaming…"

"Shall I pinch you? Tee hee hee!"

For a brief minute, she noticed how physically close the two are, and Aria chose to act as if she didn't see anything, continue to explore the small yet lively town. Not too longer after seeing the couple, she came across a man who stood in front of her.

"What?" Sarcastic guy Al asked, noticing Aria. "We don't see your type often," he commented. "You here visiting or something?" He asked.

"Uh, yeah," Aria answered quietly. She wouldn't say it was exactly a visit, but she was enjoying the comforting atmosphere of Greenhorne.

"Huh, some kind of relaxing vacation, is it?" Al asked next. "Must be so nice for you. I'm sooo jealous," Al told her, but Aria, despite being a ditz at times, quickly sensed the tone in that sentence. Not wanting to be bothered anymore, she walked away, soon meeting a man in rather fancy clothes. The same girls Taka chased earlier stood nearby, while a woman appearing a bit younger than Aria conversed with the girls who seemed to be pouting.

"Welcome, adventurer!" greeted the dubious mayor "I'm Jay, the mayor of this town," he introduced himself. "Have you spoken to our townspeople?" He asked, which Aria replies by nodding. "Greenhorne's a nice town," he stated. "But I'm the mayor but I kinda have to say that," he admitted.

The conversion then abruptly ended, and Aria, along with the rest of the villagers, gaze above them with mixed reactions of shock and horror, their mouths opened and eyebrows raised, as the sky turned blacker.

"Hey! What's that?" Mey asked.

"What? Where?" Omiyo looked up and notice the oncoming darkness. "Oh!"

"What is that, mommy?" Taka asked, pointing to the darkness in the sky.

"Oh! Goodness!" Muffy cried.

"Ana…"

"Ike!"

"This can't be good," Al commented.

"Oh no," Jay muttered. "Is it…"

As quickly as the residents noticed it, the darkness wasted no time in engulfing the entire sky, covering the peaceful town of Greenhorne in horror. Among the dark, out came a fearful creature.

"Mwa! Haa! Haa! Haa!" He laughed wickedly, coming near the town of Greenhorne. "I am the Dark Lord, Boo," he eerily introduced himself. "I've come to wreck havoc and terror on this miserable little world!" He explained in a dark tone. "And I'm starting with you, people of Greenhorne!" All at once, everyone stared in horror, a few even trembling. "Time to taste true terror!" He exclaimed. "Say goodbye to your faces!"

As she looked around, Aria noticed the faces of the cheerful villagers flying off, one by one.

"Eeek!" She heard Mey shriek nearby, and when Aria turned her attention to him, Mey's face suddenly flew off alongside Omiyo's

"My little Taka!" Muffy cried, and Aria turned, seeing the child suddenly without a face.

"Anastasia!" Aria heard the cries of Ike, and she witnessed Ana's face suddenly fly off.

In front of her, Aria noticed Al shaking as they both witnessed the unimaginable, unable to utter a word. Suddenly, Aria's eyes widened as Al's face departed off into the sky.

"Ohhh!" Jay shrieked in terror, watching as the villagers lose their faces. "It's terrible! T-their faces," Jay stuttered, beginning to tremble.

"Get used to a life of wordless terror, because that's what you're stuck with!" Ganondorf told them, driving fear into the village. "And those who've been spared," he began with malice, "take a nice, long look at your poor, little friends, and despair!" He exclaims. "So long!" He said with wicked laughter as he flew away, taking the faces with him, but leaving behind the darkness.

As everyone trembles in fear, Aria wanders around Greenhorne, staring at the bodies lacking faces shivering in horror. Family and friends joined together in fear, having witnessed their love ones go without their faces. Even the little girls, all of whom were spared from the darkness, ran from the woman they previously conversed with, to hold onto Jay in terror.

"Daddy!"

"I'm scared!"

"It's okay, girls," Aria heard the mayor attempt to calm the girls before she heard a shriek in the distance.

"Taka, my poor baby!" Muffy cried in horror, holding the faceless body of her son. Aria noticed how close to tears the woman was. "Don't panic… don't panic," Muffy whispered to herself. Feeling even more sorry for her, Aria walked up to her, intending to give words of comfort, except Muffy took notice first and immediately spoke to her. "Oh adventurer! I beg you, please! Please help my Taka!"

"Y-yes!" Aria spoke quickly without a second thought. "I'll help him."

"Oh… Thank you ever so much!" Muffy said in gratitude. "Oh, I know," Muffy spoke, reaching into her apron pocket and pulling out a necklace with a blue pearl. "Please take this," Muffy offered. "It's our family's good luck charm," she informed her, and Aria accepted the necklace, placing it around her neck. "I fear the dark lord still lurks nearby," Muffy said, expressing her fear. "Could you maybe take a look around outside town?"

Aria nodded before parting, and she didn't understand why she accepted the task in the first place. She had no experience in fighting. She only dealt with music and cooking, but she was sure those talents wouldn't help her in combat.

AN: This is the end of the first chapter. So my protagonist, being my own mii, is still the same as my last attempt of this fic, but the villagers are all different people. Also, I wanted to make Greenhorne seem bigger, like an actual village, so that there are more villagers in town, but I'll still keep my focus on the ones shown in the game. I hope this revision is better than last time. Thank you!

1/13/19 update: chapter is revised, hoping it's better than it originally was!
