In the land of the Era of Twilight, the team of Shadow Strike Force, the Brave Adventurers and Spectra Force were already in battle with Cia's forces.

"Team Shadow Ice, stepping up in the Hero of Twilight era!" Ty said.

"What's with such a stupid name?" Kurome asked.

"I uh… thought it would be cool if I gave our team an official name. Team 2 sounds generic." Ty said. "Besides, that name of mine is really fitting."

"Ty, you know that at times you can be a total idiot, right?" Lector said.

"Hey, not cool Lector! David, back me up here, you gotta find my Team Name interesting, don't you?" Ty asked.

"I find it fitting, like you said, considering that the three of us are from dark backgrounds." David said.

"Finally, thanks." Ty said before nearly dodging a stray arrow. "Huh?" he said as they saw two large groups of monsters fighting.

"What the heck? Monsters fighting monsters?" Ross asked.

"Hmm. There are two reasons that could apply here. Either it's infighting...or they're from two different armies." Spectra said.

"Doesn't matter. We still need to stop them." Ty said before being shot at as a mechanical insect creature landed before them.

"Targets locked. Preparing elimination." It said.

Robotic Predator Insect

Genesect

"A Genesect? What's it doing here?" Sectonia asked.

"Does it matter? It just shot Ty, get it!" Sting said as Genesect started shooting all over.

"Watch out!" A voice called out as a crimson red insect came and protected them with its pincers and quick movements.

Knight of Chrysalia

Scizor

"Whew, thanks!" Lector said.

"Too early for thanks." Scizor said as Genesect continued to fire.

"Okay, I've had just about enough of this!" Diane said swinging her hammer. "Rush Rock!" she called as she slammed her hammer into Genesect only for the bug to resist and knock her back.

"This is getting us nowhere." Ty said.

"Indeed. But there is another matter that has to be dealt with here. I'm only here to protect the insect princess." Scizor said.

"Insect Princess?" Leone asked.

"Oh no!" Scizor said seeing a young girl with a basket and parasol being surrounded by monsters.

Insect Princess

Agatha

"Eeek! Mr. Scizor, help!" Agatha called.

"Somebody better save her if she's important to Scizor to protect!" Ban said.

"I've got it." Neu said. "Genma! Use my body! Goemon!" Neu said turning the dial.

A bright red light overtook him as standing there now was a white skinned figure wielding six swords and in red robes. "Goemon...is here!"

He then charged at the group of monsters as he quickly cut all of them down.

"Thank you." Agatha said.

"Maybe you can help. We're trying to close the gate of souls in this timeline. Can you help?" Goemon asked.

"Yes." Agatha said taking out a blue butterfly. "This goddess butterfly can find anything." she said releasing it.

"Talk about a lucky break for us." Diane said.

"Mr. Butterfly can't go through the Twilight though. You'll have to capture the Keeps that are covered in Twilight so he can point you to where you're going." Agatha said.

"That's all we need to hear. We're on it!" Elize said.

"Gonta will help as well." Gonta said.

"Elimi…" Genesect said before Dark Pit went and shot it with his staff.

"Don't even think of it." Dark Pit said.

"System damage. Take off for repairs." Genesect said before it flew off.

"Geez, you guys gotta learn when not to keep talking." Dark Pit said as they ran.

"Funny...I was about to say the same." a voice said as a strange looking imp creature had the butterfly in their grasp.

Princess of Twilight

Midna

"Midna? Wait, something's different." Mayumi asked.

"She has Mr. Butterfly!" Agatha said.

"Hey, what are you doing, we need that!" King said.

"Oh? Are you saying this butterfly is more than just an annoyance?" Midna asked. "Okay...find that witch for me." she said releasing it.

"Witch? Wait, could she be looking for..." Yukino asked.

"Cia. She must be here." Dark Meta Knight said.

"But Midna doesn't know were fighting her too, she's an enemy. At the very least, we should convince her we are." Ty said.

"Pfft, good luck with that. As long as I have Twilight Keeps abound, my strength will be plenty to deal with you losers." Midna said.

"Rule number one of combat, Missy. Never reveal your weaknesses to the enemy. Everyone, spread out!" David said.

"Change of tactics. Ignore the Dark Forces...focus on Midna. Do not let her anywhere near Cia!" Merlin said.

"That won't be necessary. She'll just flee before Midna gets near her anyway just to taunt her." Symonne said. "In any case, our priority is her keeps."

"Break her lines, and take those Twilight keeps!" Ty called as the group spread out.

"Stop them, you idiots!" Midna called to her army.

"Wow...she does not know how to...Ack!" Lubbock began before Midna grabbed his neck with her hair. "Someone deal with her!" he said.

"Yeah, we're on it." Sting said as he and Rogue double teamed her as she kept them back. "Okay...maybe not. We could use a little help here."

"Leave it to me!" Elize said firing a dark blast from Teepo.

"Eat this!" Teepo said as more blasts were fired.

"You're very annoying for a little girl." Midna said trying to crush her with her hair.

"Elize, now!" Teepo called.

"Got it!" Elize said activating her mystic arte.

"Locked on target!" Teepo said as darkness gathered into him.

"Charge complete! Fire!" Elize called out as she launched Teepo with her staff.

"It's gonna hurt!" Teepo called out as he zoomed around Midna like a dark comet trapping her in a cylinder of darkness. "I'm home…" He said floating down next to Elize.

"Scary-Go-Round!" Elize and Teepo called out as the cylinder exploded as dark magic spreaded from it, dealing major damage to Midna.

"Grr." Midna growled. "You ruined my chance. I was going to get that witch for what she did to me!"

"This is all just a big misunderstanding. We're Cia's enemies, too." Sectonia said.

"You were? Why didn't you say so in the first place?!" Midna asked.

"We just did." Ty said.

"Oh… uh...ahem." Midna said. "That witch is the reason I look like this. Worst of all she's teamed up with that idiotic usurper Zant."

"I bet Zant is responsible for guarding the Gate of Souls in this era." Diane said.

"All the more reason for us to ally with her." Dark Metaknight said.

"But I think we're gonna need more troops. Scizor, do you mind if you and your kingdom help us out?" Ty said.

"The kingdom of Chrysalia is on thy side." Scizor said.

"That's good to hear. Zant is probably going to be expecting us. We should spend the next few days preparing for the coming battle." David said.

"With a Bug-Type Kingdom on our side, Team Shadow Ice is gonna make sure Zant will regret upsurping this era." Ty said.

"You're still going on about that?" Dark Pit asked.

"Sorry. The name really sticks with me." Ty said.

"In any case, he should train up as much as we can so we can send Zant packing. Hopefully, for good." David said.
