Yes. The title for this chapter is a Jojo reference. That is all.
Majora and Shosa had touched down on Planet Balete and had already started making their way through the caves to get to Darkori. As they walked through the damp caves, Shosa turned to Majora.
"Since there is a bit of history between you two, what happens if she tries to attack us?"
Majora smugly laughed it off, "Oho, my dear comrade, I happened to memorize all her techniques since the last time we met."
"And what if she developed new ones?"
Majora stopped laughing and put his hand to his chin. "That is a good question." And then he continued to walk forward.
"But you didn't even answer it." Shosa thought.
Shosa then stopped as he noticed there was a dead end ahead of them. He tried warning Majora. "There's a wall in front of you, you should probably-"
Majora just walked through the wall, causing it to disappear. Shosa blinked at the odd sight that he just witnessed.
Majora scoffed. "Ha, that type of illusion won't work on me! You've lost your edge Darkori!"
Shosa scratched his head. "Illusions huh? This is going to be a headache."
The duo continued their forward approach. Majora sniffed the air. He stopped Shosa.
"Do you smell that?"
Shosa raised his nose and sniffed the air. "Smells like.. Scented candles?"
Majora smiled, "We are getting close, my dear friend. It won't be much longer now."
The pair of canine warriors made their way through the caves, stalactites dripping water around them. Eventually, the two made it to a red curtain.
"This must be it." Said Majora. He pushed the curtain aside and walked through the opening. Shosa followed his comrade, unsure of what lay ahead of them. Shosa entered the room-
-Only to find it was completely black. Not black as in dark, no, Shosa could still see Majora clearly. It was like they had walked into a void, everything in the room besides them was the same shade of black, making it impossible to know what was what. The walls were black, the ceiling was black, and the floor was black. The room also looked like it expanded forever.
Shosa turned around, the opening they entered through was gone.
"Comrade…" Shosa whispered.
"It appears she has trapped us in some sort of void." Majora responded.
"Are you sure?"
Majora tapped his foot on the ground. "Indeed, I can feel no end to this."
Shosa sighed. "Well that's just great! How are we going to fight this?"
Majora sniffed around. "She must be hiding around here somewhere. If we could just draw her out…"
As if on cue, Darkori began to rise from seemingly nowhere. Holding blue energy in her hand, she smirked and swept her arm, sending a stream of fire towards Majora.
Shosa was about to tell Majora to dodge when Majora swept his arm, dispersing the fire.
"An illusion?" Shosa thought.
"Ha, those old tricks won't work on me you she-devil!" Majora laughed.
Darkori nodded. "I see you've lost your vision since we last met. It's a shame that you won't be able to see what beautiful illusions I've cooked up."
Majora got into a fighting stance. Shosa looked at him and did the same.
Then, Darkori just sunk into the ground in a similar to way to how she rose out of it. The void they were in was left silent. Majora sniffed around and Shosa looked around.
"Di-Did she just leave?" Majora asked.
"Yes."
"That cheeky bugger." Majora responded.
At that moment, flames began to burst from the ground. One of them scorched Majora's feet, causing the fox warrior to jump up into the air.
"Yowzers!" Majora screamed as he held his foot, hopping on his other foot in pain.
Shosa backed up, not wanting to have his foot burnt like Majora. However, there was no need to, as the flames suddenly died down as quickly as they came.
Majora put on an irritated face and sniffed around. "I think she ran. We are going to have to catch-"
"But I'm still here." Darkori said as she appeared behind Majora.
Upon hearing her voice, Majora fell to his feet, startled. And then he proceeded to scramble over to Shosa.
Darkori giggled at this sight. "Majora, you should remember that my techniques consist of illusions AND attacks. It's up to you to figure out which is which."
Majora stiffened. "I'm not going to play your games anymore, witch." He raised his hand towards Darkori. "Now, witness MY techniques." He launched a Ki blast at Darkori. However, as soon as it came into contact with her, she dissolved like mist.
"Another illusion." Shosa observed.
"Your a real master sleuth aren't you, Shosa?" Majora shook his head. "Any other brilliant deductions you would like to make? The planet were on? Time of the year? Name of the Princess we're looking for?"
"Actually, you never told me the name of the planet. But I assume it is planet-"
Shosa's retort was interrupted by laughter throughout the void.
"Oh, Majora, you haven't changed a bit." Darkori laughed, her voice coming from all directions.
"Neither have you, old friend." Majora responded. "Now that you've shown me some of your new tricks, allow me to show you something the Supreme Kai taught me!"
Majora raised his hand, creating a yellow ball of light. Majora threw it up in the air. It floated there, like a balloon.
Then in a great flash of light, the ball exploded and a great wave of light washed over the void, dispersing the illusions. They were now back in an ordinary room.
Darkori stood at the opposite side of the room, glaring at Majora. "So… The things the Supreme Kai taught you.. Helped you deal with my illusions?" Her voice was filled with irritation.
Majora scoffed. "Indeed, my old friend. It appears you are jealous of what I was taught."
Darkori's face twitched. Shosa could see that Majora poked a nerve there.
Majora grinned. "Oh, I see I've been pressing all of the right buttons. Here, I will show you more of them."
Dakori looked down. "No."
"I beg your pardon?"
"There's no need to."
"And why is that."
Darkori moved her gaze towards Majora and Shosa with a big smile on her face.
She laughed. "It's because you've already lost!"
Majora screamed, "I-Impossible!"
Majora and Shosa panicked and looked around the room for anything that could possibly be an illusion. They looked up at the ceiling, the floor, they spun all around making themselves look like fools.
"Good grief." Darkori shook her head.
Majora turned to face Darkori, Shosa was still looking around.
"Witch! What profound illusion do you have this time!?" Majora asked.
Darkori shrugged. "Nothing."
Majora was taken aback. "But then what did you mean by us already having lost?"
"I just wanted to mess with you a bit."
Majora frowned. "Curse you!"
"But. I do think it is time for some alone time between me and you, Majora."
And with that, Darkori quickly raised her hand and launched a dark blue ki blast at Shosa. Shosa was still looking around, so he did not see it coming until it was too late. The blast hit him, sending him flying against the wall.
"You fiend!" Yelled Majora.
"Relax. He's just unconscious." Darkroi informed Majora.
Darkori took a step forward closer to Majora. The fox man tensed up at this approach.
"Have you come here just to gloat about what you learned to me?"
Majora shook his head. "Of course not! I came here because I need your help."
Darkori laughed. "You need my help? That's rich."
"It's true. There is no other reason as to why I would come here. I may be an egotistical fox, but I am not that egotistical."
Darkori didn't buy it. "Then why didn't you just open with that?"
"BECAUSE YOU WERE ATTACKING US WITH YOUR ILLUSIONS!" Majora yelled.
"A fair point."
Majora marched over to Darkori, close enough that his nose was sticking right in her face. "I ask that you take this matter seriously."
"Maybe I will. Maybe I won't." Darkori responded.
"I should probably tell you why we need your help, it's because-"
Darkori placed her hand on Majora's snout and pushed him away. "Not so fast Foxy. Before I even consider helping you, we are going to take a stroll down memory lane."
"Memory lane?" Majora asked, confused.
Darkori pointed to a stool in the room. "Take a seat."
"What if I don't want to?"
"Well then I'll make you want to." Darkori put on a devilish grin.
Majora decided it was wise to take a seat on the stool.
Well, I thoroughly enjoyed writing the interactions between Majora and Darkori, something about them is just fun to write. The next chapter will be about them too, I was originally going to have it as one giant chapter, but I decided to spit it into two smaller ones. I hope you enjoyed it.
As always, constructive criticism is appreciated.
