Chapter 2: The Darkness
The Goomba Bros were getting really dizzy. They don't know what happened, but once they saw swirling colors, they stopped fighting. One minute they were fighting, and the next they were in a vortex.
"Once we get out of the dump, I'm so blaming Red for this." the Blue Goomba thought.
A few minutes later, they finally see a light at the end. Blue braced himself for impact, while Red was screaming.
When they reached the light, Blue fell on some floor, while Red hit his head on a wall. Blue had to pull him out, and then Red immediately started yelling.
"WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?" Red yelled.
"I don't know." Blue said. "All I remember was that we were fighting over who would get that cake, and the next thing I know, we were spinning through space."
"By the way, what happened to that cake?" Red asked.
As luck would have it, the Goomba Bros turned around, and the cake was floating next to them.
"I don't remember if cake could float like that." Blue said.
Then, something under the cake revealed itself. It looked like a chameleon, but with glasses and a vest. It had a weird smile on his face.
"Goomnut cakes are HI-TECHNICAALLLLL!" it said.
"Who are you?" Blue asked. The chameleon then got a frown on his face.
"You haven't heard of the great Francis? The awesome guy who loves computers?" the chameleon, apparently named Francis, asked.
"Nope, never heard of ya." Red said.
"Who cares if we know him or not? HE'S GOT OUR CAKE!" Blue said, tackling Francis. The two get in a fight, and Blue takes the cake, only for Francis to use his tongue and eat it.
"MMMMMMM, TASTY!" Francis exclaimed, licking his lips.
"YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT!" Blue then continued to beat Francis, and Red was noticing his surroundings. They seemed to be in some sort of hallway, at least he thought. There were some destroyed pillars and portraits, making it look like there was someone else here.
"You guys, look!" Red yelled out. This broke up the fight, and the Blue Goomba and Francis started looking around. They noticed everything Red saw.
"Looks like someone already was fighting here." Blue said. Francis had sparkles in his eyes.
"My forum friends will be SOOO jealous if I bring some of this debris back!" Francis said, picking up some of the ruined portraits.
"I see a door at the end of this hallway. Do you think we should go in?" Red said.
"Since we have no other place to go to, I'll go." Blue said. The looked to see if Francis was coming, but he was too distracted getting souvenirs. The Goomba Bros then headed off and opened the door, only to find a huge staircase.
"This will take a while." Blue Goomba said. They start heading up the stairs, and after a few hours, they make it to the top.
"I might never go up a staircase again." Red Goomba said.
"Same here." the Blue Goomba looks up. "Hey bro, look over there!"
Red looks up. He sees what appears to be a team of five. One of them looks like some elf in green clothes. Another looks like a girl wrapped in cloths. Another was a elf princess lady. Another was a girl holding some sort of book, but Red couldn't tell what kind of book. Lastly, one was on the ceiling, but Red couldn't tell what it was. They were in front of a huge door.
The Goomba Bros quickly hid behind a nearby pillar, and they overheard the one wrapped in cloths say:
"It's time," she told the others. "You are now completely prepared and you are ready to defeat Ganon. I will stay here, and prevent anyone from passing through."
The Goomba Bros didn't know what she meant, but the others disappeared behind the big door before they had a chance to think. The girl in cloths stayed behind.
The Goomba Bros still stayed in their hiding place, hoping to get some more information, but it wasn't long until….
"Achoo!"
The girl looked and saw the two. She started heading over to them.
"Nice one, genius." said Red.
Noticing they were different creatures than what she saw, she got in her fighting stance.
"Alright, who are you, and what are you doing here?" she said.
"First of all, we didn't mean to be here, and second, we don't want to fight." Blue said.
"Do you think I'm that gullible? You're probably one of Ganon's minions, trying to catch me off guard!"
"What are you talking about? We don't even know who this "Ganon" is!" Red said.
"LIARS!" She then started to throw needles at them, and it struck the Red Goomba. Blue could see blood coming from a few spots.
"I guess we can't convince her through words." Blue said. "Then I guess we only have one option."
Blue started to run forward, accurately dodging the needles. When he came close to her, he hit her straight in the face with a headbonk. The girl went back a few feet, with a hand to her head.
"Feisty one, huh? I've got more things to help me!" the girl said. She then got out some sort of chain, wrapped it around Blue, and started strangling him.
Right when Blue thought this was the end for him, Red came and headbonked her from behind.
"Thanks bro." Blue said.
"Don't mention it." Red said.
The Goomba Bros then noticed that the girl was ticked off now. She then got out a bow, and arrows in a golden glow. She shot one, and the Goomba Bros barely dodged. When it hit the wall, it exploded in light.
"Something tells me that I do not want to get hit by one of those." Red said.
The girl continued to fire the arrows, and the Goomba Bros were barely dodging every one of them. Then Blue decided to get up close and headbonk her.
Bad move.
The girl saw it coming, and moved out of the way as Blue hit the ground. He got up, only to see the girl pointing an arrow at him in point blank range.
He then closed his eyes, because he knew what was coming next. Then, she fired.
Blue expected to feel extreme pain, but it never came. He opened his eyes, only to find himself transparent. He used this opportunity to hit the girl straight in the face, making her back into a wall. Blue thought how this was even possible, until he saw Red come up to him.
"I used a Boo Sheet on you before she used the arrow, because I didn't want to see my brother go down."
Blue got tears in his eyes. If he had arms, he would have hugged him. Red then went up to the girl.
"Do you believe us now?" he asked. The girl got up, and slowly nodded.
"Yes. Only a true warrior would go back and save one of his own." she said.
"Can you tell us where we are?" Blue asked.
"You're in Ganon's Castle." she said.
There was that name again. Blue was puzzled by this.
"He is known as the King of Evil. The group you saw before were the ones destined to defeat him."
"Hopefully they can help us return to our own dimension." Red said. They headed through the big door, only to find the four in some sort of throne room. The Goomba Bros saw scratches on the floor, indicating a battle was here. The green elf came toward the two.
"What? Who are you?" he asked. Red came forward.
"Look, we don't want to fight." Red said. "We just got done with your clothed person outside."
"She attacked us without warning!" Blue said. The green elf got in a fighting stance, but the princess stopped him.
"I think they're telling the truth Link." the princess said. The elf named Link then decided not to fight.
"Alright, you have my trust, but why are you here?" Link asked.
"We kind of came here by accident." Red said.
The Goomba Bros then told the crew how they got to this place, and how they ended up battling that girl. Most of the crew got wide eyed.
"You're saying you came from another dimension?" Link asked.
"That's right." Red said. "The problem is, we don't know how to get back."
"I probably know something." The girl with the book came up and met the Goombas, and put on a friendly smile.
"Are you saying you can get us back?" Blue asked.
"I think I know a spell to get you back." she said.
"Awww, you wouldn't want to go back right now."
Everyone looked around for the source of the voice, and then a dark cloaked figure appeared.
"I'm afraid I cannot let you leave." it said.
"So, it's just all of us and one of you." Link said.
"True, very true." the figure said. "But I have powers beyond yours."
"Well taste this!" Link fired a sword beam at it, but it went right through.
"You're attacking me? I thought I was getting a welcome present." the figure said. "I guess I'll have to give you one!'
He then gets out his pen and book. He then gets this text:
"Curse you all! I will break free from this seal someday! And, when I do, I will destroy your descendants!"
"What are you doing with that line of text?" Red asked.
"I'm going to use my power!" the figure said. He gets out his pen, and starts editing the text. It was done in just a few seconds. The text now read:
"Curse you all! I will break free from this seal now! And now, I will destroy you!"
"Now before things get rough, I must be off." the figure said. It then vanishes.
"So what? He just changed a line of text." Blue said.
Just then, the whole room started to rumble, and a figure started to appear. It looked like a man in dark clothes, and he was shrouded in dark energy. His yellow eyes were the only thing that the Goomba Bros were able to see.
"The power…..is coming back to me!" he said. "The power..…THE POWER!"
The dark energy consumed him, then he started to transform. He grew two large horns, and a pig-like snout. Two tusks appeared below his mouth, and he had two blades in his hands (He looks like Ganon in Ocarina of Time).
The Goomba Bros got awestruck, while Link, the princess, and the other girl charged forward. Ganon saw this coming and sealed them in a magic barrier.
"The magic is too powerful!" the princess said. "I can't break through!"
"I can't break it either!" the other girl said.
The Goomba Bros were the only ones out of the barrier, and they were still struck with awe. Once Ganon approached them though, Blue snapped out of it, and kicked Red to snap him out.
"Why must we be the ones to get senselessly beaten?" Red asked himself.
He runs behind Ganon like a coward. Blue sweat drops once Red did it.
"He's the older one, yet he's scared." Blue thought.
However, Red runs over Ganon's tail in fear, causing him to roar in pain.
"Wait a minute, the tail must be his weak point!" Blue thought. He then gets Ganon to notice Red running around like a three year old. Ganon tries to hit Red, but since he's running around in an erratic manner, it becomes hard to hit him. Blue hits Ganon's tail while he's watching Red, causing him to roar again.
"I think one more time should do it!" Blue thought.
However, Ganon was ready this time, and gets both of the Goomba Bros backed into a corner. Blue held his ground, while Red hid behind Blue, thinking his corpse would hide him. Then, Ganon got so close to them, Red couldn't take it anymore.
"GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU MONSTER!" he yelled. Then, out of sheer terror, he pulls out a Thunder Rage. Ganon was hit by tons of lightning bolts, and one ended up hitting his tail. Ganon screamed in pain, and fell down from exhaustion.
The magic barrier that was holding the others then gave away, and they used their chance to finish him off. The girl then spoke some magic words (at least that's what the Goomba Bros thought) and in a flash of light, Ganon was gone.
Red then clears his head.
"What just happened?" Red asked.
Everyone got a sweat drop from that remark.
"By the way, what happened to Ganon?" Blue asked.
Link closed his eyes and crossed his arms.
"We sealed him away. Hopefully, we sealed him up for good." he said.
Just then, Francis bursts into the room, with a huge sack of random things.
"Man, my forum buddies will be SOOOO jealous!" he said.
"WHERE WERE YOU?" Blue yelled out. "WE NEEDED YOU HERE HOURS AGO!"
Francis ignored him, and noticed Link and the princess.
"OH MY, AREN'T YOU PEOPLE THE LEGENDARY LINK AND PRINESS ZELDA? THAT'S SO HI-TECHNICALLLL! I NEED TO TAKE A SNAPSHOT!" he said, getting his camera and snapping a photo.
"Ummm, who is he?" they asked.
"Nobody special." the Goomba Bros said. The girl with the book then stepped forward.
"By the way, don't you guys need a ride back to your dimension?" the girl said.
"Oh yeah, I completely forgot." Red said.
Before she could chant the spell, Francis stepped forward.
"WAIT! YOU NEED TO SIGN THIS!" Francis reached into his sack, and pulled out what looked like a indigo crystal, but it was shrouded in blue energy. Everyone got wide eyed.
"Where did you get that?" Zelda asked.
"This? I found under a pile of debris downstairs." Francis said.
"I sense a great energy coming from this." Link said. "You boys should hold on to this."
"Fine, but don't get any scratches on it. I want it to be in mint condition so I can show it to my forum friends!" Francis then hands the crystal to the Goomba Bros. The girl with the book was still puzzled.
"This is interesting. I never seen anything like this before." the girl with the book said. "Plus that cloaked figure appearing. They must be connected somehow."
"How?" Blue asked.
"I don't know, but I know they're connected. I need to research the situation, while you head back to your own dimension."
"Fine with us." the Goomba Bros said, preparing to leave.
"Wait."
The Goomba Bros stopped.
"Take this, just in case I need to get in touch with you." The girl then handed them what appeared to be some sort of walkie-talkie mixed with a TV.
"I'll call you when I find out something." she said.
The Goomba Bros nodded.
"Thanks miss." Red said.
"It's Christy." the girl said.
"Ok, thanks Christy!" Blue said.
The Goomba Bros then went across the room.
"Now prepare to go back to your dimension!" Christy said. She said a few magic words, and a vortex opened up, sucking the Goomba Bros inside.
"WAIT! I WANT TO GET MORE SOUVINIRS!" Francis exclaimed, jumping into the vortex before it disappeared.
"What now?" Link asked.
"I need to study up on these weird crystals and how they are connected to that cloaked figure." Christy said, leaving the room. Link and Zelda soon followed.
"WHAT?"
At Castle Bleck, the Dark Writer was choking his Bob-omb advisor, and the poor thing was losing oxygen.
"I….just….said….those….Goombas….fixed….the….story….
The Dark Writer let go of the Bob-omb, and the Bob-omb was gasping for air. The Bob-omb could tell his master was furious.
"Nobody fixes my stories." the Dark Writer said. "I seemed to have underestimated them."
"Also, I saw them pick one of those crystals."
Cue the Dark Writer choking him again.
"You idiot, those crystals are the only things that can defeat me!" he exclaimed
"It's….not….my….fault….they….found….it….
He started choking him harder.
"With those crystals, they can penetrate the barrier surrounding this castle, storm inside, and banish me from this world! Without me, you wouldn't even exist!"
"You….could….attack….them….before….they….attack….you….
The Dark Writer let go, as he just received a great idea.
"Great idea! The poor saps are currently heading back to their dimension. I guess we'll have to change their course."
The Dark Writer then started writing something in his book.
"Let's set their course to THAT dimension." he thought.
Sorry if I made the story wrong, it's just the first chapter.
Also, I didn't know what kind of moves Sheik would do, so I used her SSBM moveset.
Also, the story the Goomba Bros went to in this chapter was "Trapped in the Dark Land of Hyrule" by Peach the Hedgehog.
