"And…you sound…cheerful, when you're covered in…blood." Ike said.
"What?" Toon Link asked stupidly. He looked at himself, "Oh, you mean this. Wow, I totally forgot about this."
"How can you forget when it's all over you?" Ike asked.
"Well, I finished fighting Ganondorf, and so I warped here, found Pit rubbing his butt on the ground in pain, and then I totally blanked out about this blood on my tunic." Toon Link said picking up part of his tunic where a bunch of blood stains were.
"You mean skirt." Ike snickered.
"Shut up." Toon Link glared at Ike evilly.
Ike laughed at him and looked past Toon Link to actually see Pit on the ground rubbing his butt. He thought Toon Link was kidding about that part. So, Ike blanked out.
"Ike? Ike? Ike?" Toon Link yelled in Ike's face as he waved his arms around. Pit got up and came over to Ike, when Fox appeared…covered in blood as well.
"H-hey." Fox panted coming over to all of them.
"Fox!" Pit yelled happily, "Great, we're all here. I would hug all of you but Fox and Toon Link are covered in blood, so is Ike."
Toon Link and Fox laughed as they heard a really loud slap. Everyone whirled around to see Sothe's hand not far from Ike's face.
"Did you just-" Pit started.
"Slap him? Yeah, I did." Sothe nodded proudly.
"Why do I have this feeling that someone slapped me really hard on my face." Ike said rubbing his face.
Sothe snickered and covered his mouth to stop himself from laughing, but everyone, except Ike, can tell that he was laughing inside.
Ike thought of who could've slapped him, he thought of one suspect. He turned to Sothe and everyone, including Ike, started laughing. It all ended when they heard Toon Zelda and Tetra point at Toon Link and yelled, "The ring! It's gone!"
Everyone stared at Toon Link as he checked all of his fingers, checked his pockets, and checked his boots. It wasn't there.
"Exactly, why did you check your boots?" Pit asked staring at his boots.
"I keep some stuff in there." Toon Link muttered.
"Like, what kind of stuff?" Ike asked smiling.
"I keep my d-mind your own business." Toon Link glared out Ike as Ike snickered.
"Okay, okay. Just wanted to see if you would actually tell me." Ike said.
"Just you? There are more than five people around me." Toon Link rolled his eyes.
Ike looked around him, "Oh, right, I totally knew that."
Sothe rolled his eyes and slapped Ike on the face again.
"Ow! Jeez!" Ike said rubbing his check…again.
"What are we going to do?" Toon Link sighed, "I lost the ring."
"You didn't lose it. I think either Ganondorf took it, the Black Knight took it, or it dropped somewhere here. You came in here wearing the ring, right?" Pit comforted patting Toon Link shoulders.
"I think we should go back to check."
"Did you say that, Pit?" Ike asked looking at Pit.
"No?" Pit said confusingly.
"Link!" Toon Link ran over to him and hugged him.
"Hey, human dictionary." Link said hugging bloody Toon Link back.
"Link! We didn't forget about you!" Ike ran over and hugged him, "Group hug!"
"Of course you didn't forget, smart one." Sothe rolled his eyes and walked over there along with Pit.
Pit chuckled a little and smiled to himself. Sothe stared at him in confusion, and before you know it, Ike grabbed both of them and hurtled them into the group hug.
"Unexpected." Pit and Sothe said together.
Toon Zelda jumped into the group hug as well as Fox. Tetra walked over there, and eventually got pulled into the hug by Toon Zelda.
Afterwards, they all got apart from each other and stood there in an awkward silence.
"Wait, how did you know we were talking about the lost ring?" Pit asked curiously.
"I've been leaning on this pole for a while now while talking to Toon Zelda and Tetra.
"You knew they were here? Ike looked at Tetra and Toon Zelda.
"Yeah, we just wanted to see how long you guys would notice, since Link came in so quietly." Tetra snickered as Toon Link hit her on her head.
"So, you bothered to not tell me that my own brother lives, huh?" Toon Link glared at Tetra.
"Well, uh, yeah. That was the plan." Tetra said as she looked sideways and saw Toon Zelda chuckling to herself.
Toon Link hit her hard again and Toon Zelda started laughing to herself.
"Well, are we going to get that ring or not?' Link spread out his arms.
"We are!" Pit said brightening up, "Now that we have everyone, we can continue."
"Well, how are we going to get there?" Ike asked turning to Pit.
Everyone stared at Pit in confusion as Pit looked like he was in deep concentration. Then, they all warped back to the main room, where through a hole in the wall was Brawl.
"Well, that's settled." Ike shrugged.
"Now we got to look." Pit said, "Where could it be."
"It could be anywhere!" Toon Link exaggerated.
"Well," Pit started, "If it could be anywhere, then we better start now!"
Everyone nodded in agreement and they all went to work, checking the walls, the floors, through cracks. But what was really amusing to Toon Link was how he saw Tetra glimmer, and scratch, like she was a hologram. Toon Link wondered, with a curious face, he didn't want any more problems, so he just continued on.
