Double updates are always fun; especially when the second update is a pivotal plot-point!

Zelda had been imprisoned in the Detention Level Room 105 for two days now, and her captives were barely feeding her; almost as it they were actually letting her starve. Then, the mysterious leader entered the room with his three henchmen: Bowser, Dr. Cortex, and Zant.
"Hello there, Princess." he said to her.
"Monster! You've barely fed me and forced me into telling you the location of the white and dark blue Chaos Emeralds. What more do you want from me?" Zelda shouted.
"Actually, there are two things: first, tell me where the last few Emeralds are."
"What's the second reason?"
"I would like you to meet someone. Zant, summon the spy."
"Yes, master." said Zant.
"Call me Sir." The master muttered under his breath.
And Zant did exactly what his master had told him to do. And when he arrived with his spy, Zelda couldn't believe what she saw. It was Meta Knight!
"What? But I thought Killbot 3000 killed you, this has to be a dream." Zelda said to her old friend.
"Actually, I climbed through a hatch in its hand, escaped, and of course, froze you in a crystal, and delivered it to Zant." said Meta Knight.
"Wait a minute, so it was you who brought Killbot 3000 to the castle?"
"Yep."
"So you were the one, who also started the war between those monsters and my friends." she yelled at Zant.
"All true." said Zant.
"But, Meta Knight, why?"
"I'm a spy for crying out loud. Zant hired me to gain your trust so that I could become a member of the Council of Heroes, and, eventually, bring Killbot 3000 to you." said Meta Knight.
"And it worked. I trusted you. The Council trusted you. And you betrayed us."
"ENOUGH OF THIS! I had no idea this would turn into such a soap opera. I have work to do and this is wasting my time. Bowser! Get the Dark Ball." the dark figure shouted at his henchman.
Bowser then got a small, purple, sphere and brought it to his master.
"Here you go, boss."
"Call me Sir. Now, this little orb is so evil, that it can destroy anything good through contact. So, you're going to tell us the location of the red, green, purple, and yellow Chaos Emeralds, or I'll use this baby on your friends when they arrive at my little trap."
The leader got really close to her, so close that she could smell his breath. But recognized that smell, and she could've sworn she saw a yellow gem on his forehead through that hood of his.
"No. I won't do it."
Then, it seemed that he was smiling.
"Oh well, you're loss is my gain. Besides, Meta Knight wasn't the only spy we have. There's also the Ogre King, Snake, and quite a few others. We'll find out, one way or the other."
And then they left. And now she was completely alone, almost completely.
"You don't have to stay here in this cell, you know." said Zant.
"Why?" said Zelda.
"You can marry me, and together we can overthrow my master."
This was actually a ploy to take over Hyrule. Zant was the usurper king of a bizarre place called the Twilight Realm. But Zant wanted more than just the Twilight Realm, he wanted the world. But unfortunately, Zant had to either marry or kill the rulers of the different regions, and Zelda (being what Zant called a "Light-Dweller") was one of the last people he really would marry. Plus, with Zelda under his control, he would only begin to impress his master.
"No, I won't marry you! You're evil. I'm good. It would never work. And that's just the beginning. You and I are complete opposites: I care for my friends and royal subjects, you would rather slit their throats if they came remotely close to threatening you."
Zant seemed to frown on that, a lot. Then he said something that really shocked her.
"Well, we'll see about that, because in about ten seconds, you will give me your complete and undying loyalty."
Then, Zant used his dark magic to cast a strange spell on her. There was a strange, purple light coming from the cell. Then, the purple light vanished, and everything seemed normal outside the cell. But inside, a new evil was born.

Now, before you shippers start thinking about anything fishy; Zant is not romantically interested in Zelda. He only wants to marry her so that he may rule the Light World. But then again, when has that ever stopped you guys...
Anyway, remember to review, and I'll see you guys next time.
