Bowser rose from the canyon to a chorus of groans.

"Oh, shut up. I told you I was coming back." He patted the Koopa Clown Car, the dents and bumps from the onslaught of shells he faced last time patched up with… Duct tape?

Alph winced. That was not going to hold.

Toony drew his bow, notching an arrow in preparation. "Bowser! What are you doing here?"

"Oh!" The great koopa wheeled around until he was facing the swordsman "Little Link! How did you enjoy the playdate last week?"

"Um?..You kidnapped me and locked me in your castle."

"I know that! I asked how you liked it, not for your life story."

"Uh, well," Link slowly lowered his bow, "The pizza was pretty good."

"Fantastic." From inside the Clown Car Bowser whipped out a little book, flipped it open, and produced a pen. "Junior wants you back next Wednesday. Oh, bring your own blindfold- My troops are all out, and it would be a pain to get more just for you."

"Wait- Do I get a choi-"

"No." Bowser snapped the book closed and dropped it back out of sight "You're coming. Honestly, I'm doing you a favour, it's healthy to play with kids your own age!"

As Link started to complain, Bowser waved him off and spun the Car around again. "Now, where was I?" The glittery treasure in Kirby's paws caught his eye and he grinned maliciously, "Ah, yes! I've brought a brand new- Hm..." The koopa trailed off and levelled a clawed finger at Alph, making him step back nervously. "You. Blue… Space Guy. How old are you?"

"E-Er..." Alph stuttered, the unexpected question leaving him completely thrown off. "I'm-"

"-Actually, I don't care. You're invited too. Try to find a sack that'll fit over that stupid helmet." With that little diversion out of the way, he cleared his throat, and got back to business. "Anyway, hand over the Star Rod... Bits. Ugh, honestly, that's a real mouthful. I'm just gonna call them Star Chunks from now on, okay? I don't have time for names with more than two words in 'em... Now, gimme."

Immediately, Kirby shoved both pieces into his mouth as if they were nothing more than candy. "No!"

Bowser laughed, "Eating them won't help you! I'll just cut them right out of your trophy once this is done with you!" On cue, the Koopa Clown Car rose higher into the air, and from the darkness of the canyon came …

…

…

Absolutely nothing.

"Hey, what?" Bowser raised his voice and lent over the side of the car to until he was almost falling out of it. "I said, once this is done with you!"

Nothing happened.

Nothing continued to happen.

Bowser shouted some more into the darkness and succeeded in making, you guessed it, nothing happen.

Nothing went on to win an Oscar for its fantastic role in Nothing: The Movie.

Nothing proceeded to star in a series of critically-acclaimed sequels and write a well-received novel entitled; 'Nothing Came out of the Canyon (No Matter How Much Bowser Screamed)'.

"Stupid half-rate no good monsters can't even follow a single- Gah, fine, whatever!" With an angry cloud of smoke billowing from his nostrils, the Koopa King jabbed a claw at the assembled people below, his other hand reaching over to re-stick a piece of tape that was already peeling. "Grrr, you- You're lucky I don't have time to fight you myself! Consider this your chance to surrender- You have until I get that thing moving. Think carefully." With that, Bowser dropped into the deep darkness of the canyon, the echo of his voice and the whirr of the Clown Car's engine fading into oblivion.

Toony lent dangerously over the edge to watch him go. "That was... Super weird. What's he- Wah- Hey!" His voice turned into a squeak as his steed grabbed him by the shirt and yanked him back from the drop, "Come on, I'm not gonna fall!" It snorted and rolled its eyes, then, with a quiet whine, clawed at its neck with one paw. "Huh? What're you- Ohh! Right!"

Toony reached forwards and grabbed some kind of leather cord from around the beast's neck. With a bit of effort, for even sitting, it was taller than him, he pulled it over its head, flattening its ears forwards and briefly squashing its fuzzy face in a comical fashion. Once the cord was off, he held it as far away from his body as he could manage- A large, dark crystal swinging from the end.

The crystal was, frankly, plain uncomfortable to look at. It's very form defied the gaze- Staying just out of focus in a way that strained the eyes.

… And then the growing shadows on the ground twisted into the upright and wrapped around the beast like reams of fabric, rendering it so black and featureless it became unto a hole in the air itself- Rendering the crystal positively mundane.

With a faint scraping sound, the shadows started to move like a liquid- Lifting the creature off its front paws, elongating its back legs and body, changing shapes, rearranging, then melting away altogether, leaving… Link?

Not the little Link, who stood proudly like this was the most natural occurrence in the world, the big Link.

Well.

"Oh." Samus murmured, slightly less freaked out then she should be, "Link's a werewolf."

–

"- And ever since then, when I touch this crystal, I've been able to turn back into a wolf."

The Links lead them along the canyon to a spot they had used to cross over earlier, where a tree had fallen across the crack- Apparently making a decent bridge.

… A good plan, assuming the earthquake hadn't destroyed it, of course.

As they walked, Link told- Well, shouted- His story over the gap, with Toony adding his own… Embellishments.

"-I almost got run through by a moblin, but it was worth it for all the rupees it had."

"Come on, that's not cool enough! Obviously, it stabbed you right through," Toony drew his sword and made a violent motion, "But then, you went and killed three more!"

"Heh," Link puffed out his chest, "Maybe that happened, but I don't like to brag- Unlike a certain kid."

"What? No, you're just jealous 'cause all your stories are boring."

Link pulled a face of mock outrage "Me? Jealous? Never." He cleared his throat, "Anyway, you get the idea. I'll explain the rest when we have more time."

"Yeah, no more stories, I have a question." Toony jabbed his sword at the group,"Why's Bowser after you? And why was he going on about Star Rods?"

Well," Samus started to explain, "Bowser's working with our adversary-"

"-Dark Matter!"

"Yes, thank you, Kirby, Dark Matter. It broke the real Star Rod, not the tournament item, into bits. If we collect them all, we should get a sizeable advantage. Although, so far, Bowser's been using them to create full-blown monsters- So it's imperative we don't let any more fall into his hands."

"That was Bowser, huh?" Link mused, "That explains a lot."

"What do you mean?"

Toony's hand shot into the air "Oh! Let me tell this one!"

Link shrugged, "Sure."

"Yesss! Okay, so before we ran into you guys, we were with… Um, Rosalina, Jigglypuff, Doctor Mario and, um… You know the big, orange dragon Pokémon?"

"Charizard."

"Yeah, that guy. And we're just walking 'cause we don't know what's going on, and then Luma runs off and comes back with this little red and white glittery thing, and Rosalina's like: 'This is really important, we need to hold onto this'. So we keep walking, and then this giant scorpion comes out of nowhere and attacks us! So we're fighting it, and we're winning, but then it stings Rosalina hard enough to make her grow a new eye. And then Luma exploded on Jigglypuff. And also Doctor Mario. And they went totally crazy! So, er, we were outnumbered and they totally had us on the ropes… So we had to run."

…

"And then we ran around for a while before spotting that smoke and running into you guys."

–

While most of the trees in the area were still, for a very loose definition of the word, standing- The ones clinging to the edges of the canyon had been shaken and shifted with such force their roots had been torn from the broken ground itself, forcing anyone passing through to clamber over fallen trunks and push through tangles of burnt branches like an adventurer in the bush.

Kirby leant over the side of a particularly thick oak, his shifting paws sending rivets of ash down the curve of the trunk. "You want me to fly you up?"

"No, thank you, I can do it." Alph replied, stepping back, eyes scanning the trunk for a good handhold- Before reaching and grabbing a suitably thick, protruding branch. He pulled himself up, braced his feet firmly against the bark, and reached for the next one. "I just need to-"

The burnt branch snapped and with a muffled thump, his feet reunited with the ground.

"Oh, well," He shuffled along the trunk, taking hold of another branch and hoisting himself up. "I can just-"

Snap.

"Maybe-"

Snap.

"If I just grab-"

Snap.

No more branches. "… This tree doesn't like me."

Kirby pulled a pitying kind of face, and stepped back, searching up and down the tree for something. "Hmm… Oh!" He sprinted over to the remains of the crown of the tree, and, with a bit of heaving, broke a large chunk of wood right off. "I know what to do! Watch this, it's gonna be awesome."

Kirby tossed the wood high into the air, and inhaled it.

In the air around them, bright points of light formed- Glowing electric green, they shone for just a moment before the light dimmed as they started to spin- Changing shape until Kirby was surrounded by a swirling flurry of shockingly green leaves.

Once again, a circlet of soft twigs grew from the puffball's head, decorated this time not with leaves, but with a shock of pale pink blossom.

"Wow," Alph clapped politely, "Excellent, but how-"

"-Whoa whoa, wait! I haven't done it yet!" Kirby held his arms in front of him, face scrunched in concentration, then he thrust them in the air with such force he actually stumbled backwards "Ya!"

At the same time, the ground at Alph's feet exploded outwards.

The astronaut took a series of hurried steps back as a small tree emerged, creaking and groaning, growing at high speed until it reached the height of the log- Branches sprouting from the trunk in two rows, alternating on each side until it formed... "A ladder!"

Kirby reached out and pulled a leaf from the topmost branch, "Wow, it actually worked. I mean, of course! Come on up!"

The branches flexed gently under his weight, the tree lent at just the right angle as he reached the top- And, with a short hop, Alph set foot on the log.

"That was awesome." He made his way to the other side of the fallen tree, only to find nothing but the sound of voices receding through the mist. "Thanks for… Hey, where has everybody gone?"

Kirby ran to his side, "Oh, I told 'em we'd catch up." His smile grew wide, voice jumping to a squeak with excitement "And! I know how, too!"

The puffball slammed his paws against the wood, kicking up specks of grey with the impact, and from his palms, vines sprouted. Thick, twisting, and a deep shade of brown- They grew at a ridiculous rate, spinning themselves together and flinging themselves through the air to the next fallen tree, wrapping it in a twisting embrace and continuing on to the next. The vines expanded massively, growing until they formed a serviceable bridge, flat on top and wide enough for two people to walk across side-by-side, a structurally sound curve between the two logs, with a bushy border of deep green leaves.

...Which was all very nice, but what really caught Alph's attention were the fat bunches of berries hanging beneath the vines- "Fruit!"

His stomach gurgled slightly as he lent over to inspect the closest bunch. Stars, it must have been… At least two hours since he'd last eaten! With starvation imminent, he reached to pluck a bundle off the branch, only for Kirby to grab his outstretched hand and drag him onto the bridge, leaving the succulent, juicy fruit in their wake.

Kirby didn't stop, either. Opting to drag Alph behind him along the vines. The berries were gone, but the fact that Kirby could grow fruit, straight out of the ground, after eating a stick, was much more interesting.

Time to ask subtle questions. "Why are we running?"

"Because running is fun!" Kirby released his hand, "You can walk if you really wanna."

"No, no, I'm fine." He sped up slightly to jog side-by-side "Hey, the fruit growing on these vines, is it edible?"

"Of course it's eatable!" Kirby said, eating two bunches at once and somehow pressing a third into Alph's hands. Up close, they looked like tiny Dusk Pustules. "But you gotta eat them quickly, they'll disappear when I lose the ability."

Oh. "Oh."

"I know, right?" Kirby went on, oblivious to the true depths of his disappointment, "Someday, I'll figure out how to stop that, and then... I'll grow the best garden in the world! Fruit the size of your head! Fruit the size of my head!"

"But you're all head?"

"Exactly!"

–

Like all good things, the vine bridge quickly came to an end- The thick branches diving directly into the ground, the last few meters becoming a short, steep slide that unceremoniously deposited the two at their destination.

Ahead of them, Samus and Sonic stood at the edge of canyon. Samus barely glanced over her shoulder at their arrival, while Sonic raised a hand in greeting. On the other side, an enormous, double-trunked tree reached just halfway across the gap, its skinny branches grasping at the edge like burnt fingers, with Link and Toony both perching precariously at the end.

Kirby hopped over, and Alph followed- Eyeing the tree with a sense of uncertainty that only grew as he watched the branches bend and bounce with every movement "That looks… Dangerous."

"There's been a change of plan." Samus said, "They're coming over to join us, instead of- Hang on." She interrupted herself, "-Toony, climb to that branch above your head, you don't have enough height down there." As he obeyed, scrambling upwards in a way that only made the bouncing worse, she continued her sentence like nothing happened. "-Instead of the other way around. The tree that was bridging this thing must have fallen in during the earthquake."

"No kidding." Kirby muttered, watching the motion of the tree with a look of trepidation. "You know, I could grow some vines across to make a bridge for us."

Samus sighed, "Normally, I'd agree. But Toony really, really wants to show off his 'Deku Leaf'... Whatever that is."

"Since when has something like that stopped you?"

"I can't stop him jumping from over here, can I? And I'd rather he tried it from there than, say, the actual edge the crack."

"Can't argue with that, I guess." Kirby shrugged.

"Can't Link take charge over there, or something?" Alph asked.

"Are you kidding me? They're just as bad as each other."

"Wha- Hey!" Link shouted across the gap "I can hear you, you know. This is totally safe!"

"Yeah!" Toony yelled, brandishing a giant leaf "Watch this!"

He took a few steps back, the branch under his feet wobbling madly, and sprinted forwards, using the movement to bounce high into the air with a running leap. He barely had time to fall before the giant leaf caught the air and expanded immensely over his head like a glider, trailing little green sparkles as he sailed gently across the gap to land easily on the other side to a smattering of applause.

"Mmm, thank you, thank you." He bowed, before turning back to Link, waving the leaf in the air "Alright! How do I get this back to you?"

"Just hold it over your head!" The elder Hylian shouted back, producing something from his belt that rattled loudly like a metal chain. "I'll clawshot it over."

He slipped his hand into this device and aimed it with one eye closed, revealing it to be one of his go-to weapons during matches, a strange looking grappling hook which came equipped with vicious claws. Vaguely remembering being grabbed by the thing during matches, Alph took a few quick steps away from Toony.

You know, for safety.

The little hero himself held the leaf two-handed, as high above his head as he could manage- Even resorting to standing on tip-toe. "How's this?"

"Yeah, that's good. Just hold it..." With a loud zipline whizz overlain with the faint chatter of metal, the clawshot barely missed Toony's head as the sharp prongs snatched the leaf out of his grip and straight into Link's waiting hand.

"Awesome. Okay," He reattached the clawshot to his belt and climbed higher. "I'm coming over."

Just as Link was about to jump, Toony gasped and started to shout, "Wait! Wait a second!"

The hero very almost toppled right out of the tree "What? What is it?"

"You're too heavy!"

"'Too heavy'?- I'm not 'too heavy!'"

"Yeah, you are! You need the wind behind you. One sec," From a pocket, he produced that strange silver wand from earlier. "I'll call some up."

This time, when Toony waved the wand like a conductor, it didn't just whistle like it did from far away, no, this time it sang.

Coloured sparkles spilled from the end as it produced a beautiful choir-like sound. Singing in some strange harmony, the tone, pitch and rhythm all changing as he moved until the wind stirred up around them with a musical trill, artificially shifting the still air until it blew in over the canyon.

"Now can I go?" Link called over the sound of the wind.

"Yeah, you're good!" Toony shouted back.

Link jumped.

The wind caught his leaf like a sail, propelling him forwards twice as fast as Toony… Which didn't really help as he dropped like a rock, the leaf doing very little to slow his fall at all.

He really was too heavy.

Link hit the side of the canyon with a painful thump, the loose rock breaking away under his fingers and sending him plummeting down until he finally got a grip on the crumbling wall, just in sight of the top.

"I'm okay!" He called upwards, rather sheepishly. "Although, um… I dropped the leaf."

Toony facepalmed. "'Course you did."

Kirby, the only one light enough to risk leaning over the edge, leant over the edge. "Do you want me to drop a vine down to you or something?"

"No, thanks! I can climb."

"Alright then!" Kirby turned around to address anyone listening. "He's okay."

Samus sighed quietly, "We should've built a bridge."

–

Link crested the edge with a grunt of effort, pulling himself up until he had his elbows firmly on the earth, legs still dangling into the abyss. "Hey."

"Yo." Sonic gave him a little wave, while Kirby opted to be just a little more enthusiastic. "Hii!"

Alph opened his mouth to ask if Link was injured, but Toony got in before him. "I can't believe you dropped my Deku Leaf."

"Yeah, sorry about that… I promise, I'll get you a new one."

"… How? That was the only one."

"I'll find a way. Most of the time I just wave my arm," He did just that, adjusting his other elbow to keep him on solid ground. "And whatever I need just appears- Oh, wow okay." Quick as a flash, the leaf was gently slipped into his palm as he gestured. "That... Works too!"

"Okay, that was kind of weird." Sonic said, "Where'd it come from?"

"Dunno," Link put the leaf down and lent back as far as he could to peer into the darkness below, even though, admittedly, it wasn't much lighter at the top. "I can't see anything down there, 'guess the wind picked it up." He shrugged, stopping suddenly with his shoulders still up, wide-eyed, as a horrible crash, like the entire canyon wall coming down, came surging up from the void beneath.

The noise only petered out for a few seconds, before coming again, this time louder, closer.

Like footsteps.

Toony swallowed as the pebbles at his feet started to rattle. "You should get out of the canyon."

Link nodded, echoing his agreement. "I should get out of the canyon."

–

Link did not get out of the canyon.

Not even close.

The noise moved far faster than anyone could hope to scramble over the lip of the canyon, and to cries of absolute horror from everyone gathered, something large, sharp and dark slid though Link's chest like a knife though butter as he desperately tried to haul himself out of the way, the source of the falling rocks making its appearance as an enormous gelatinous leg shot out the darkness of the canyon.

It waved and shuddered, unconstrained by measly things such as bones, the end decorated not by a foot, but by an enormous sword-like spike- At least the height of Bowser himself- Which it sunk deeply into the crumbling ground.

Seven more legs followed it, each stabbing into the earth with enough force to shake chunks off the sides of the canyon, sending them crashing into the abyss- Dragging poor Link along for the ride as he limply slid down the spike on impact, coming to rest face-first on the ashen ground.

With the limbs firmly rooted, four on one side, four on the other, the body rose from the pit.

The monster looked like a cross between a crab and a spider, round and thickly armoured on all sides. Where any sensible crab or spider would have a head, it had nothing but smooth, featureless plates.

Speaking of Bowser, his patched-up Clown Car rose alongside it with a distinctive putter.

It stood so tall, the fog shrouded its body like a blanket, dark form blending with the sky as the light finally gave way and a cheery jingle played faintly in Alph's ears to signal the end of the day.

On the underside where the legs met with the body, a slit formed between two plates of armour, and, from inside, the creature's eye peeled slowly open- Shining down like a blinding orange spotlight, illuminating every mote of dust and ash in the air as it cut through the gloom and cast a bright circle onto the floor below.

Kirby's expression slid from terror to hard determination. "It's got a piece of the Rod!"

"Pfft, big deal," Sonic scoffed, barely hiding the tremor in his voice and bending to touch his toes as he spoke. "We've already beaten one, what's another?"

"Ha!" Bowser crowed, now invisible in the dark and the clouds but still audible "We'll see how long that optimism lasts! Especially when I have this!"

…

"Have what?" Samus demanded, "We can't see you!"

"You can't see?- Ah, I mean, of course you can't! I have such superior eyesight I didn't realize, one second." A series of lights flicked on inside the Car, lighting him harshly from below.

Not just him, however.

Bowser had a trophy squashed uncomfortably next to him, stony features obscured by his arm, which he wrestled out of the Car and waved above his head.

"Can you see it now?" He called.

It was Greninja. A gentle Pokemon that liked to provide the pikmin with little showers of water.

… Usually in great volumes and without warning, but a sweet gesture nonetheless.

When he was sure they could all see, the Koopa King tossed the trophy unceremoniously onto the monster's back, where it stuck for just a moment before sinking in, Greninja disappearing head first into the mass of armour with barely a ripple.

With its new acquisition, a strange shiver of light flashed through the monster's body- Making every limb twitch.

"Good luck!" Bowser cackled, "You'll be needing it this time!"

The lights cut out, and the sound of his engine faded away into the night- Replaced by the grinding hiss of enormous blades unsheathing from the fractured ground as the monster stirred, and slowly started to move.

Its eye darted between targets, turning everyone muted shades of grey under the florescent orange light, eventually settling, of course, on Kirby.

It lifted a leg, and drove it into the ground, narrowly missing the puffball as he darted out of the way.

With the spike out of his back, Link briefly lit the cliffside gold as he turned into a trophy.

Another limb came down, forcing Kirby to swerve out of the way "Why are you all just standing there!?" He shrieked, desperately dodging impalement.

"Oh! Sorry!" Alph squeaked, swinging his bat at the nearest leg and missing as it lifted to swat at Kirby like a fly as he took to the air, disappearing into the dark, hopefully out of reach.

With the light gone, he could hardly tell what was imminent pointy death and what was just a tree anyway.

There was nothing but stamping, shouting, and that cutting orange glare.

Then, the monster pulled two legs against its body and added a second light to the mix.

This light took the form of a swirling, bright blue mass of liquid energy between its spikes, which grew larger and larger with every passing second, the unmistakable sound of a charging Water Shuriken growing louder in turn as it took a far too familiar shape.

Shrugging off everything thrown at it, it released the shuriken directly at Kirby with a whoosh and a spray of glowing water, the impact knocking everything out of the puffball- From his breath to his ability to two important glowing rod chunks, everything.

With the ability lost, the squished and forgotten remains of the fruit disappeared.

Kirby landed with a squeak and made a break for a bouncing green star, the leaf decorating it's side fading quickly as it rattled away along the ground.

Another, significantly more golden star ricocheted along the ground to land at Alph's feet.
The head of the Star Rod.
He scooped it up without a second thought, fingers doing little to stem the bright light streaming from its surface.

The star buzzed gently under his fingers, filling him with a comforting kind of warmth that lasted for a good five seconds before everything turned blindingly orange, and a spike lowered itself into his vision, poised like some giant finger, ready for poking.

"Oh, shoot!"

A scandalized gasp come from somewhere to his left as an arrow thudded into the joint between tentacle and spike and Toony appeared on the scene.

"Did you just swear?" The spike smashed into the ground a few feet off its mark, giving the pair enough time to run away, Toony shooting back over his shoulder as they went.

"No, of course not!" The orange spotlight followed them out of stabbing range, at which point it switched to rapidly firing barely charged Water Shuriken.

"I'm just saying," He said, the poorly-aimed projectiles splashing at their feet, "I wasn't gonna tell, I'm no snitch!"

With all the water being thrown around, it was actually getting easier to see- The clouds of dust in the air being weighed down with moisture. "That's very kind, but we have other problems right now!"

"I dunno, I think... This is actually helping?"

True to form, the monster was ignoring everything thrown at it in its furious attempts to hit them. Samus' gun blew hole after hole through its tentacles, which oozed great streams of liquid, Sonic dodging through the stamping spikes with simple ease, taking every opportunity to throw it off balance, making its shots swerve wildly.

Kirby…

Kirby grubbed through the ash a few meters away, leafy headdress firmly back in place.

Toony notched an arrow. "Hey, stay still. I'm gonna nail it in the eye."

"Er, sure." Alph stepped back as another watery projectile impacted at his feet "You're very calm about this."

"Eh, fight Ganon and everything else just turns into small-fry, you know?"

For a brief second, he flashed back to flinging Ganondorf off Final Destination with a gust jar "...Not really?"

"Eh, I guess you had to be there." Aiming with one eye closed, he released the arrow, "Boom! Bullseye!"

Alph squinted as the monster reeled. "You hit its leg."

"Yup!"

"I thought you were going for the eye?"

Toony shrugged, "Tomato, tomato. Potato, potato."

…

"...What's a 'po-tarr-to'?"

With an immense crash, the shot leg dropped off, landing spike first in the ground and almost giving Sonic a bold new foot piercing in the process.

This was finally enough to draw the monster's attention away from its glittery, star-shaped prize. It rumbled, blinding gaze falling to its feet, and started to rotate, wobbling precariously as the injured limbs swapped with the undamaged ones on the other side of the canyon.

With everything in place, it didn't move to attack.

The orange spotlight simply scanned the ground at its feet impatiently.

"...I'm gonna shoot it in the eye again."

"Wait, wait." Alph put out a hand, "Let's see what it's doing."

After a few short seconds of searching, the light focused on its dropped limb, and a spike came down to gently roll it out of the way. With the obstacle gone, the spear-like extremity stabbed at the ash underneath and dragged out Link's trophy, skewered through the hole in his back like a kebab.

In a single, swift motion, it plunged Link into its own body, Toony giving an indignant squark"(I'm gonna shoot it in the eye again!"), as his older incarnation was swallowed up by the monster like Greninja before him.

It shuddered with another pulse of light as its remaining spikes started to change shape, becoming sleeker, lighter, shiner… Turning into giant, deadly, swords.

...Shoot.

((Rip, Link Link. You were here so shortly and gone so soon.

...Because it was necessary for the narrative.

Yeesh, this chapter, huh? It spewed out of control a bit... But I did my best, and while I'm not as happy as I'd like to be with it, I can't complete the story without posting it. That would be silly.

Forgetting that, check it out my dudes, cover art!

...By, er, me.

... *Cough*

... A-Anyway, that's it from me, thank you for reading! If you liked it, gimme some feedback! And if you disliked it, also give me feedback! Can't fix problems I don't know about, after all.

With that, I gotta get back to saving Hyrule. Breath of the Wild is... Breathtaking and at least 40% of the reasons why this took 3 months to finish.

...

... PINKY, OUT!))
