BGM: Lake Hylia (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

Epona stopped galloping near the Lanayru Bridge as the four of them looked down at Lake Hylia. "So, it's somewhere down there, eh?" Marisa asked.

"Yup." Link nodded and then opened up his bag to pull out some weird fish-looking bombs, which were delivered by Barnes to them via Postman, as they were headed back to Lake Hylia.

"How exactly do bombs work underwater?" Marisa wondered.

"Got me." Link said. "Now, first things first." He said as he walked to the nearest bushes.

"Where are you going?" Marisa asked.

"Well it would be non-gentlemen of me to change in front of some ladies." Link said. "Plus Marisa and Midna."

"Oh ha ha." Marisa and Midna rolled their eyes.

"Just no peeping, okay?"

"I won't." Marisa said.

"Cross my heart." Mima added.

"Doubt there would be much to look at." Midna smirked.

"Very funny." Link said sarcastically before going into the bushes. And after ten seconds, Mima turned to Marisa with a knowing look.

"You're gonna peep on him, are you?" Mima guessed.

"Yep." Marisa answered and then tiptoed towards the bushes. She moved the leaves for her to see, but enough to stay hidden.

And she got there just in time to see Link taking off his tunic to switch to the Zora Tunic, and Marisa just couldn't help but stare.

"Holy…" Marisa whispered quietly, looking directly at the man who was shirtless in front of her. Those abs! When did he have a six pack? Why is he suddenly so hot? Why am I suddenly drooling over him? We're just friends, it's never gonna work out… She thought… and then all those abs disappeared when Link put the shirt on. No! Take it off! I want to see more of it!

Mima had studied Marisa's facial expressions the whole time and chuckled. How adorable. She thought.

"You like him, don't you?" Midna teased, playfully elbowing Marisa who had also noticed her drooling over him.

"What… me? No, I don't like him one bit." Marisa folded her arms and walked away with a blush with Midna and Mima couldn't help but chuckle at her.

"What are you guys talking about?" Link said, putting his headpiece on after coming out of the bushes.

"Oh, don't worry about it. It's girl talk. No boys allowed and all that stuff." Midna said.

Link raised an eyebrow before rolling his eyes. "You girls are weird." He said as he watched Marisa put the necklace and earrings on. "Alright, stay here." He ordered Epona as she nodded and went to eat some grass as he dove off into Lake Hylia with Marisa and Mima doing the same, with Mima summoning a protective water barrier around her as they started swimming around.

"Should be around here somewhere…" Marisa said and then noticed in the corner of her eye that the mermaid girl and Nitori were swimming toward them. "We got company."

"Good or bad?" Link asked, not really paying attention.

"Depends on who you ask." Marisa said as they turned to them.

"Who are you three?" Nitori asked.

"We're Link, Marisa and Mima." Marisa said. "We're looking for something. Some dark looking thing in this Lakebed Temple."

"Oh, the Lakebed Temple? We know where it's at!" Nitori said.

"We sure do!" The girl smiled.

"I'm Nitori Kawashiro, an engineer. Master of manipulating water so you don't have to worry about drowning!" She grinned.

"I'm Wakasagihime. My power grows when I'm underwater." She explained.

"Ooooh, I see you're wearing the Zora armor and the accessories! Perfect. No need for me to do anything!" Nitori smiled. "Now uh… I'm assuming you can swim well."

"Pfft, are you kidding? I swim pretty well all the time in Ordon Village!" Marisa said proudly. "What kind of badass would I be if I was suddenly afraid to swim over a near-death experience?"

"You call yourself a badass and yet you can't fire this so-called Master Spark to save your life." Midna teased, earning a glare from Marisa.

Quiet, you… Marisa thought.

"That depends on who you ask. Probably some giant fish that would knock you breathless until you drown, then you'd be suddenly afraid to go back into the water." Mima said.

"Oh please, that'll never happen. The day I suddenly become afraid of water is the day where this so-called infamous Great Calamity happens. It'll never happen." Marisa chuckled. "Hell, if I'm afraid of water, then I'm no badass. I'm just a pathetic wimp."


In some certain universe…

Marisa sneezed and turned her head. "Why do I suddenly feel attacked?"


Back with them…

"You're certainly confident." Nitori said.

"You betcha!" Marisa grinned. "Now… that Lakebed temple?"

"Oh, right!" Nitori nodded as she and Wakasagihime guided them to the entrance to the Temple where they got to the entrance, but saw it was blocked until Link blew up the entrance and then they all swam in.

BGM: Lakebed Temple (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

They started to swim through the cavern, looking around and taking in the scenery but as they got further in, they noticed that there were a few jellyfish creatures called Bari and a clam on the bottom called a Shell Blade. They quickly swam past them as they then saw the surface above as they swam up to the surface to climb out of the water.

"Huh, I didn't think there'd be air pockets in this place." Marisa said. "…Not that we need them."

"Probably designed for people who didn't want to wear Zora clothing." Nitori said. "Which is suicide." She said as they walked around and some Chus decided to fall on them, one of them landing on Marisa's shoulder to which she looked at it.

"Blegh…" She groaned and wiped it off as Wakasagihime saw a switch and flew up to pull it down, opening the door in front of them.

"Awesome!" She smiled as they went over to the door and walked in… or flew in, in Waka's case as they looked around the room full of unstable stalactites.

"This place is incredibly beautiful!" Midna admired, her eye sparkling while Link fired Bomb Arrows at the stalactites, some of them crushing some poor unsuspecting Helmasaurs as he jumped down and proceeded to climb up while the others simply flew over to the other side.

"What took you so long?" Marisa teased.

"Oh ha ha…" Link rolled his eyes as they walked into the room where they walked across the bridge when they looked down to see a river underneath them. They then dodged a Helmasaur and then they walked into the next room to discover a round room with many levels and a rotating staircase.

"Does this staircase rotate?" Marisa asked.

"Hmm…" Mima rubbed her chin in thought as she looked at the other ledges that the staircase count connect to. "Possibly."

"Well, that's neat!" Marisa said.

"Man… the things they built underneath Lake Hylia." Nitori said with a whistle.

"No kidding." Marisa nodded. "Heck, you could possibly duplicate these things and put them in some kind of castle then call it some kind of school like a… Youkai school! No… Magician…? Ah, forget it."

"That seems too weird…" Wakasagihime said.

"Yeah, I doubt that'll catch on." Marisa said.

"If it does, I'm gonna be shocked…" Midna said.

What goes on in that head of yours? Link wondered as he saw a locked door up ahead. "Oh, we're going to need a key for this." He said.

"Who needs that?" Nitori smirked as she pulled out her hand and some water formed into her hand, forming a water key. "Heh, watch and learn." She said and then flew over, then inserted the key as the lock broke. "Alright, let's go!"

"That makes things easier!" Marisa grinned as they flew over while Mima picked up Link and then flew over to the other side and then Link pulled a treasure map out of a treasure chest.

"You know, it'd be more convenient if they installed a map system in these things." Midna said. "Would save all of us a headache… and time because SOMEONE likes to open these chests dramatically…"

"Moment of anticipation." Link said.

"More like 'get on with it!'"

Link rolled his eyes and went to catch up with the others where they walked into some kind of circular hallway that had these indentations in the ground that looked like water could go through them. "Hey, you manipulate water, could you possibly-"

Nitori looked at Link. "What do you think I am, a water fountain? I could try it, but the moment I stopped, it'll all disappear in a few seconds."

"Just thought I'd ask." Link said as he noticed a few stalactites and shot them down with Bomb Arrows and crushed a few Tektites so he could easily climb on the vines, but Wakasagihime picked him up and carried him over.

"Why waste your time?" She asked as Link sweatdropped at this before she let go of him on the other side. "Hmm, you got some muscle on your arms. I like it!"

"Uh… thanks." Link said as they walked off.

Did she just… I'll pretend I didn't hear that. Marisa thought as they walked into the next room where they saw a Chu Worm entering a bubble and laughing at them as he got close to them… until Nitori manipulated the bubble to bust him out of there, then turned it into a fist.

"Nitori… PUNCH!" Nitori yelled, punching the Chu Worm to a wall and proceeded to punch him repeatedly until he was nothing more than a stain on the wall. "Ha!" Nitori smirked and then the water fist turned into a small key and unlocked the door before disappearing.

"Nitori Punch? That'll never catch on." Marisa said. "…Maybe if you were some kind of falcon then maybe it'd catch on."

"Oh please, a Nitori Punch sounds SO much better than a Falcon Punch, whatever that is." Nitori smirked proudly. "Besides, how can a falcon punch when they have wings anyway?"

"Uh… Falcon slap you silly? I dunno." Marisa shrugged.

"How about a kick?" Link suggested.

"Falcon Kick? Booooring. Uh… Falcon Claw Your Eyes Out! …Oooh, I like that one!" Midna grinned, but everyone ignored her as they went up the spiral floor where they found a switch and then pulled it down, opening the flood gate. They then went down to get another floodgate opened which caused the rising water to freely go out, then they followed it where they went into the room with rotating platforms and then went into a door and walked in where a few Chus and Helmasaurs greeted them. They were immediately destroyed, and then Nitori opened the door with a water key and walked into the next room where they saw that they had to swim for it.

"It really looks beautiful here." Mima said as they started swimming.

"It sure does." Marisa smiled.

"I'm probably gonna be doing some research the next time I come down here. This is amazing!" Nitori grinned as they saw some Baris floating over to them, but Wakasagihime proceeded to destroy them with her Danmaku as the others, excluding Nitori, looked at her in surprise.

"What? My power grows underwater, just like I said." She explained as Link threw a Water Bomb at a rock and proceeded forward while getting rid of a few Shell Blades and then they swam up to the surface and got out and looked around… and then something fell.

"Huh? What was that?" Marisa wondered as they looked to see a small Toado bouncing around in the shallow water.

Pause BGM

"Uh, guys?" Link got their attention as they looked up to see a monstrous Deku Toad from the ceiling. It dropped more Toados from its body before dropping down and roaring at them.

BGM: Deku Toad (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

"That's the biggest frog I've ever seen…" Marisa whispered.

The Deku Toad roared at them and jumped up in the air before slamming into the ground to try and crush them, but they quickly avoided as Mima, Marisa, Nitori and Wakasagihime quickly fired Danmaku at the toad while Link fired a few Bomb Arrows until it opened its mouth and roared at them and jumped back up in the air and almost crushed Marisa and roared directly at her.

"Ah, shut up!" Marisa said, summoning a Deep Ecological Bomb and throwing it in its mouth and it swallowed it… and caused the massive Deku Toad to explode and send its guts flying everywhere.

End BGM

"Uh… what just happened?" Midna asked.

"…Coooool!" Marisa said, summoning up another one and looking at it lovingly. "I think I found my new favorite spell!"

Link brushed some of the guts off of his shoulder. "Good for you." He said as he walked over to a destroyed treasure chest that contained the Clawshot for Link and a Red Cane for Marisa… attached with a half-burnt note that Marisa tried to read.

"I … this would hel-… your blocks a … easier, so … is … Cane of Somaria. Enjo-" Marisa tried to read but sweatdropped. "Okay Lana, why would you put a note in a frog's gut?"

"Who throws a bomb inside of a toad?" Link countered.

"…Fair point." She said as Link aimed his new Clawshot at a switch on the ceiling and shot at it, as it grabbed onto it and took him for a ride as the switch he held lowered a bit and opened up the gate and then Marisa used a block with the Cane of Somaria. "Sweet." She smiled as they went back inside and went back to the main area where with a bit experimenting with the rotating staircase, they went into the next room with more rotating platforms that were standing still but they flew up to the top while Link decided to take his Clawshot for a spin and soon got to another room… where the place looked nearly identical to the previous rooms that they were just in, but with a few differences.

"Okay, remember when I said I loved this place? Now I hate it… it's too complex for my taste." Midna said. "But it could be worse. We could be getting lost and going around in circles. Not to mention raising and lowering the water levels with a melody constantly."

I'd think I'd scream if we did that… Marisa thought as they made their way up and opened up another floodgate to flood the room as they attempted to dive down but noticed some Skullfish in the water.

"I'd be careful…" Nitori warned. "Those Skullfish can be quite nasty."

"I can be nastier." Marisa smirked and summoned a Magical Waste-Recycling Bomb. "Time for dinner!" She said and then tossed it into the water, where it exploded and was a bit more… powerful than her other bomb, so much so that the gang was covered in soot when the plasma disappeared. "That… was so… AWESOME!" She yelled, as the raining water washed the soot off of them, but it didn't wash off those sparkling eyes of hers… and a very terrifyingly sadistic grin.

"Remind me to stay far away from you when you get pissed off…" Nitori muttered as they hit the switch and they had to wait a bit 'cause someone had to go and blow all the water up, and when they did, they headed off and killed a few Lizalfos that were in the way and then they noticed a door down below on the rotating platforms as they went down to the door after killing a few Keese and after helping Link get across they found themselves in a water maze filled with Bari, Bomb Fish, and Shell Blades, but Wakasagihime took care of them easily.

At the end of the maze, Link took care of another Lizalfos and hit the switch with his Clawshot and lowered himself down to grab the Boss Key from the chest and rose back up from the ground and went back to the main area where they had noticed a door underneath the staircase… and some Skullfish that Marisa looked a liiiittle too gleeful to blow up, but to her dismay, Nitori beat her to it first.

"Buzzkill…" Marisa grumbled.

"Hey, I'm not going to have soot-covered face twice in one day!" Nitori said.

"I think we had our fill with bombs for today…" Link said.

"Y'all are no fun." Marisa grumbled as they inserted the Boss Key in it and walked in where they saw a huge hole in the ground as they hopped in, and swam to the bottom… or sank since Link put on his Iron Boots.

End BGM

As they got to the bottom, they noticed a small tentacle in the ground… and then an eye rose up from it and looked at them.

BGM: Morpheel Battle First Half (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

"That doesn't look normal…" Midna said before the creature rose its head out of the ground with more tentacles popping out.

"Oh geez, that looks hideous!" Marisa said.

"We'll have to take it down." Mima said, firing a laser at Morpheel but it didn't do anything until Link had the idea to use his Clawshot to bring the eye to him, and it grabbed it and pulled it to him.

"Huh… didn't think that'd work." Link said and then attacked the eye as the others did the same as the eye tried to retreat while some Bomb Fish came to their aid but Wakasagihime and Nitori quickly destroyed them as the eye was hit a few times before it retreated into the ground… before it rose from the ground and showed off its whole body and swam through the area.

BGM: Morpheel Battle Second Half (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

"Holy Hylia…" Link whispered.

"That might the giant fish that'll make Marisa afraid of water." Midna said.

"Oh shut up. I'll teach this overgrown fish not to mess with us!" Marisa smirked and swam up to the air with a smirk, pulling out her Hakkero. "MASTER SPARK!" She yelled, but no laser came out. "…Ugh, this thing is useless!" She complained and then tossed a Deep Ecological Bomb as it came to her direction, and then it blew up on the inside as soon as it ate it, stunning it for a few seconds to which Link grabbed the eye and whacked it repeatedly while Mima fired lasers at it.

As Morpheel regained consciousness, it started to go after Marisa again. "Oh, what's the matter, you hungry for more? Cause I have a Waste-Recycling Bomb with your name on it, buster!"

"Wait, Marisa! Hold on, I'm still hanging on to this thing!" Link exclaimed, but unfortunately, Marisa casually tossed it in his mouth, forcing Link to let go as and swam a good distance as it exploded in its mouth, causing it to roar in agony and swam down to the bottom of the room, hitting a wall and soon evaporating from the radiation from the bomb.

End BGM

"Soooo, what was that about me being afraid of the water?" Marisa casually asked as the water was receding very quickly.

"…That's it, no more bombs from you." Link scolded, and then slapped her upside the head.

"Ow! Oh come on, you didn't die, did you?" Marisa grinned.

"Oh good grief…" He sighed. "Marisa, what am I gonna do with you?" He wondered while Marisa laughed while Nitori and Wakasagihime wondered what just happened while Midna picked up the last piece of the Fused Shadow while they grabbed the Heart Container to power themselves up.

"Alright! Now let's go beat Zant!" Midna smiled. "Oh… and uh… sorry for dragging you guys into this mess…"

"It's alright." Mima said.

"If you say so… but now, let's go pay Zant a visit!" Midna grinned as they walked into the portal and wound up back in Lanayru's Spring, taking one last look at it before turning around… and seeing Zant in front of them.

"What the?!" Nitori exclaimed before Zant picked her and Wakasagihime up with telekinesis and tossed them out of the spring with ease.

"Nitori! Waka!" Marisa exclaimed before glaring at Zant. "Who are you?! Are you this Zant person that Midna was talking about?!"

"YOU!" Lanayru popped out of the spring and roared at Zant. "You have NO business being here!"

"Quiet, you." Zant said, casually knocking Lanayru back into the spring and then looked at the three. "You three… or should I say four." He said.

"It's four of us against one of you! We can take you!" Marisa said… and right on cue, something tackled her to a wall. "GAH!" She yelled.

"Marisa!" Mima exclaimed and then she was hit by a laser that knocked her a few feet, but she still held her ground.

"Nnngh…!" Marisa winced and then saw several dolls pointing spears at them, commanded by a girl who has blue eyes and short blonde hair with a red band in her hair. She wears a light blue dress with long white sleeves and a long pink ribbon going round her neck and another one round her waist. "Who the hell are you?"

"Does it matter?" The girl asked.

Mima meanwhile, shook herself off and saw Shinki coming down. "Shinki…" Mima scowled.

"Mima." Shinki glared.

"So, you brought your daughter into this mess and you're working with Zant? That's a new low."

"Hmph. Your point?" Shinki asked.

Link looked to Marisa and Mima and then realized he was the only one facing Zant. "Alright… guess I'm facing you myself!" He said, and attacked Zant, but Zant quickly blocked the attack and then sent out a small blast that knocked Link out, as he cried out in pain.

"LINK!" Marisa yelled as she tried to run toward him, but the dolls held her in place. "Gah… you're annoying…!" She said… and then suddenly, the place started to fall into Twilight, as Link and Marisa went into their animal forms, but she was still held by the dolls.

"Link? Link! Wake up!" Midna exclaimed, watching something being inserted into Link's forehead while also seeing something go into Marisa's chest really quickly, which briefly knocked her out. "Marisa! No!"

"No!" Mima exclaimed as she tried to run, but Shinki got in the way. "Oh, so you want to fight now?" Mima took out her scepter. "I'll be more than happy to!"

"Midna… you traitorous fool." Zant said.

BGM: Zant's Theme (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

"You…" Midna glared at Zant. "YOU BASTARD! You're nothing more than a sniveling coward and a monster!"

Zant chuckled darkly. "My my, Midna… such language, but enough about that… why do you help these pathetic light dwellers? In fact, why are you helping a Youkai? I thought you despised them… but ironically, you're helping one of them, but never mind that. They're the enemy, after all… we can make them see how we are treated in the Twilight."

"Grrr, I'd NEVER bow to you!" Midna yelled. "You will NEVER be my king! In fact, these guys are a lot tolerable than you!"

"Midna, I have been given this power to MY GOD and you WILL bow down to me. Everyone else has."

"Only because you turned them into hideous creatures!"

"They made that choice… and now you have yours. Come, serve me and we will make all these light dwellers pay for their misdeeds… or… you will perish."

"Nngh…"

"Clock's ticking, Midna. What will it be?"

"Grr… TO HELL WITH YOU!" Midna yelled, using her hair and punched Zant in the face. "Link, Marisa and Mima are my friends and I would never abandon them!"

Zant snarled at her. "Wrong answer!" He exclaimed and then forced her up and then had the Fused Shadows taken away from her. "It will take more than the Fused Shadows to stop me, and you will not get in my way! Now, I ask you one more time… join me or perish!"

"I'll NEVER join an ass like you!" She yelled. "You can rot in the Netherworld for all I care!"

"…Then you give me no choice." Zant grabbed her and pushed her to the spring. "If you want the light that you've been lusting after, then so be it!" He said and then forced Lanayru back up.

"Nnngh! What is this… I'm being controlled?!"

"Here's the light you have been craving, Midna!" Zant exclaimed.

"No… no!" Midna exclaimed and then Zant forced Lanayru to shine his light on her. "GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"MIDNA!" Mima yelled.

"Get out of my sight." Zant said as Link, Midna, Marisa and Mima all teleported away from them. "Alice, Shinki. Let's go." He said as he walked off with the two Youkai following him.

End BGM

They all appeared in Hyrule Field, as Link and Marisa had regained consciousness but were surprised to see they were back in their animal forms while Mima was still her old self… and then Marisa chirped in a panic as she pointed to Midna who looked lighter in color and wasn't looking so hot, in fact Link and Mima both looked horrified, but Link looked more terrified.

"Midna… oh no…" Mima whispered.

"Link… Marisa… Mima… I am so sorry that I did this to her." Lanayru said to them. "Zant must be stopped, but your friend isn't looking so hot. Go to Hyrule Castle and find Zelda. She will know what to do."

BGM: Midna's Lament (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)

"Right." Mima nodded. "Let's go."

Link quickly nodded and quickly took off running, right as it was starting to rain as they hurried straight for Castle Town, as a few Bulbins attempted to attack them but Mima quickly knocked them down, ignored them, or Link pushing them down with no effort at all as Link made a sharp turn and started running through the bridge where they tore through Castle Town.

"AAAAH! WHAT IS THAT THING?!"

"GET AWAY!"

"MONSTER!"

Link ignored the civilians and made a turn to the castle's front doors, but was guarded by two soldiers… who looked absolutely terrified.

"S-Stay away! We-we're warning you! You cannot go through these gates!"

"And why is that?!" Mima asked.

"It doesn't matter! He might eat the princess!"

"FOR LANAYRU'S SAKE, MAN!" Mima yelled, grabbing a hold of the soldier's shoulders. "OUR FRIEND IS DYING AND ALL YOU CAN THINK ABOUT IS THE PRINCESS BEING EATEN ALIVE?! ARE YOU STUPID?!" She yelled, seeming like she's losing her cool and panicking the more they don't get Midna to Zelda.

"Hey, hands off woman!" He pushed her back. "No one goes in!"

Mima clenched her fists, ready to fire a laser at the soldiers but Link had other ideas and took off running, barking at Mima to get her attention as she took off as they went toward Telma's bar, but Link was quickly kicked out. "Get out of here, vile beast!"

Link growled, seeming to get more desperate as they walked back and not knowing what to do… and then a window opened.

"Psst! Up here!" A voice said as Link and Marisa turned around to see a cat as it jumped down. "The name's Louise. Are you Link and Marisa? You look different…"

In Mima's ears, all she could hear is meowing and then noticed Louise pointed her head to the window and then Link growled a bit with Marisa chirping and then they went into the window with Mima following them as they started sneaking around up top.

"Ugh, I just don't understand it." Telma grumbled. "First there's trouble going to Kakariko and now there are beasts coming to the bar." She said. "Still, I wonder why Eirin and the others are staying in Kakariko…"

While she was busy contemplating, they quickly went into a room filled with gold and took out a Poe as a golden statue tried to talk to them, but Mima had other ideas and opened up the large treasure chest and they went in where they quickly went through the dungeon-like area and took care of some Bulbins where they started climbing up the stairs and tightropes to get to the roof of Hyrule Castle with Marisa clawing the Bulbin's eyes out to get rid of them and had them fall to their doom as they got to the top and started running on the roof.

We're almost there… Link thought as ran across and getting rid of a pesky Kargarok that was getting in their way and then they jumped into an open window and then went into Zelda's room… where they didn't find her.

Oh, you gotta be kidding me! Marisa thought.

"Where are you?!" Mima asked.

"I'm here." A voice said as Zelda walked in.

"Nnngh… Z-Zel…" Midna weakly said.

"What happened?" Zelda asked and had it explained to her from Mima. "I see… so Zant did this." She muttered and sighed, before getting an idea in her head. "Link, Marisa… go to the Sacred Grove in Faron Woods, there you will find a sacred sword and a sacred power there waiting for you. It should be able to get you out of your forms."

She then looked at Midna. "As for you… well… this is all I can do for you." She said as she aimed her hand at her, the Triforce of Wisdom glowing brightly in her hand. "Take care of her." She said as light formed in the palm of her hand.

"Nngh… wha…? No… no! G-guys… someone stop her!" Midna pleaded.

"There has to be another way!" Mima told Zelda.

"No… this is the only way that can restore her." She took a deep breath. "I'm not afraid." She said and with the last of her power, Midna was back to normal before Zelda slowly disappeared from them… before they all were transported out.

End BGM

They were back into Hyrule Field and then Midna looked at herself before looking at Hyrule Castle. "Zelda… why would you…" She wondered before shaking her head. "You knew what you were doing and sacrificed yourself to save me… makes me wonder if humans and Youkai aren't so bad after all."

"Not all Youkai are alike, Midna…" Mima said.

"I suppose you're right." Midna quietly said. "…So, Sacred Grove, huh? Let's go." She said as they nodded and walked off, unaware of being spotted by Aya.

"That's peculiar…" Aya mused and then saw something going on at Hyrule Castle. "…And that's even more peculiar!"

"Guys!" Mima caught their attention as they turned to see Hyrule Castle encased in a Twilight prison.

Midna stared for a few seconds before sneering at what just happened. "You bastard… you're going to fall…" She whispered and looked away. "Let's go." She said, where they took off, unaware of Aya following them.


Originally, I was going to have them saving Midna in the next chapter, but I noticed how short the word count was in Word, so I decided to put more meat into it, y'know?

Also, there is now City Trial music in Smash Ultimate, thanks to the Smash site. So, there's three possibilities to this.

One: You can probably listen to the music in Green Greens.

Two: Smash Run is back since it's based off of City Trial in Kirby Air Ride.

Or THREE, my personal favorite: We got ourselves a City Trial stage. I even have an idea for it!

City Trial - Works like a traveling stage in Delfino, where you fight in the main city where you fight on the main buildings, and then you move over to the woods where Whispy Woods is at, then you move over to the barracks with the lighthouse, then you move over to a rail station, then you go to the volcano itself where dragons fly jump overhead and if you actually touch them, you'll be sent sailing, then you'll fight on the streets. This is always random so you'll never know where you'll end up next. (This was the same in Delfino, wasn't it? My memory is a bit fuzzy since i've played For Glory a lot...) Oh, and what's a City Trial without the events making an appearance? You can see Dyna Blade, the UFO and the Air Rides flying together, you can see Tac hanging around in the woods, the lighthouse lighting up, a mysterious pillar showing up that you can actually interact with that holds items, meteors raining down from above, and some fog that will luckily not cover the battlefield itself.

Music - City Trial, City Trial Backside, Legendary Air Ride Machine, Checker Knights, Magma Flows, Frozen Hillside, Dyna Blade Intro, Rowdy Charge Tank, Celestial Valley, Machine Passage, Not Much Time Left (Only activates when you have one stock left or there's a minute left in the timer), Fountain of Dreams (*sigh* I really want Fountain of Dreams back as a stage... T-T), Stadium - Drag Race, Station Fire, Top Ride - Fire, Top Ride - Metal

I doubt the third option will happen and it's just me day dreaming, but honestly... I'm all for a new Kirby stage and City Trial seems PERFECT!

Anyway, see you in the next chapter!
