Warning: This chapter contains spoilers for Skyward Sword. You have been warned, beloved viewers.
Everyone was in shock from the sudden appearance of the Rulers of Darkness and that Dante's dead brother was a part of them.
Dante and Vergil were staring each other down with their respective swords drawn. Dante with his Rebellion and Vergil with his Yamato.
" Everyone leave Vergil to me! Focus on Bison and Ghirahim!" Dante said as Ziden, Youmu and Ike walked up to him with their weapons drawn.
" You should listen to Dante, you humans are out of your league in this fight." Vergil calmly said.
" I don't think that this guy is bluffing. I can tell that this guy means business." Ziden thought to himself.
" Sorry Dante, but we're helping with this fight." Ike said.
" Hmph. Then allow me to get rid of you then." Vergil appeared behind Ike and sheathed his sword. Blood sprayed out from Ike's chest as he fell down to the ground, unconscious.
Ziden and Youmu looked on in shock before they recovered. " Eirin! Take Ike and get back inside the temple!" Ziden ordered as she complied and grabbed Ike.
M. Bison cracked his knuckles and surrounded himself in a purple aura. Ghirahim coated himself in a black metal and stared at Link while growling. Zelda's body began to glow with a red light as she rose up into the sky.
" Looks like a full blown battle is about to go down." Marisa said.
" Indeed. Watch out for Bison! That guy is alot stronger than he looks!" Yukari yelled.
" I can tell that this is going to be a long a day." Nitori said.
" Tch! At least I get to fight today!" Mokou declared.
" * Sigh* I hope my asthma doesn't act up during this fight." Patchouli said.
" Enough talking! Time for you humans and worthless Youkai to die!" Ghirahim roared. He summoned a large black broadsword and charged at Link.
Ghirahim Third Battle ( Skyward Sword)
Link blocked the attack with his unbreakable shield and knocked Ghirahim back with his enhanced strength. Link jumped into the air and shot a Goddess Strike into Ghirahim's chest, blasting him back.
Link charged at Ghirahim and bashed his shield across his face and followed up with a kick to his chest. Ghirahim swung his sword at Link's neck, only for to duck under and counter with a spin attack. Link threw a bomb at Ghirahim's face and fired an arrow into it, detonating it and knocking Ghirahim skyward.
Terra jumped into the air and slashed Ghirahim across the back. She followed by clasping her hands together. " Tornado!" She summoned four whirlwinds that spun around her and combined to make a large tornado that sucked up Ghirahim and threw him higher into the air.
Link sheathed his sword and walked over to where Ghirahim was going to land. Ghirahim pointed his sword down at Link while descending at incredible speeds. " DIE!" Link sidestepped the attack and drew his sword.
" Mortal Draw!" Link slashed Ghirahim across the chest, releasing a large burst of holy energy that blasted Ghirahim into the wall.
Mokou jumped into the air and tried to grab Zelda when Vergil appeared behind her sliced off her legs and kicked her into the ground.
Bison was throwing punches at Meiling and Kaguya with the both of them dodging the attacks
very easily. Meiling slammed her fist into his face while Kaguya kicked the man in his gut.
Bison cracked a smile and started to laugh. " Is that all you got!?" Bison fired a ball of Psycho energy at the duo whom scattered to dodge the attack.
A flurry of colorful butterflies slammed into Bison and threw him into the air. A gap opened opened up above him and began to rain down flaming debris on Bison, trapping him between the two attacks.
Utsuho fired a concentrated beam of energy at Bison and blasts him with nuclear energy. Bison is actually harmed by the attack and sent flying towards the ground. Komachi slashes Bison across the chest and kicked him in the jaw. Komachi quickly followed up by slamming the blade of her scythe into Bison's stomach, causing him to cough up blood.
" Why you!? Double Knee Press!" Bison recovered and performed a front flip, slamming his legs into Komachi smashing her into the earth. Bison crossed his arms and descended into the earth feet first and slammed into her stomach, letting a scream of pain.
Several frozen sawblades flew towards Bison and slashed him across the chest. He turned towards Patchouli and sneered. " Psycho Crusher!" Bison jumped and spun like a drill with psycho energy wrapped around him. Patchouli , in an attempt to move out of the way, tripped over a rock and fell to her knees.
Sora jumped in front of her and blocked the attack with his keyblade, completely stopping the attack and shocking Bison before he chuckled. " So that's one of the keyblade's abilities that ? was talking about. Looks like he is going to be as much as a problem as Ziden and that Gap user."
Meiling came out of nowhere and slammed her elbow into Bison's back, leaving wide open to Sakuya's knives and Remilia's Heart Break.
Mario and Luigi knocked Bison into the air with their uppercuts sent him flying.
Bison landed with a thud and got up with rage filled eyes. His purple aura began to spike and increase until...
" Bison!" Bison looked up and saw Ruler 2 floating down the battleground as Ziden, Yukari, Komachi and Dante were shocked by who the man was.
" No way!" Komachi said.
" Tch! Out of all the assholes we fought and took down a year ago, why did this guy have to come back!?" Dante said while blocking an attack from Vergil.
" The only person to have ever pushed me and Ziden to our limits. The Self Proclaimed King of Evil and Twilight-" Yukari drew Snow White and pointed it at Ruler 2.
" Wielder of the Triforce of Power, Ganondorf!" Ziden said as Ganondorf performed his trademark laugh..
Ghirahim got up and looked at Ganondorf with a shocked expression. His shocked expression quickly turned into a happy one when a surge of darkness came from the ground where the Sealing Spike was. The Imprisoned appeared and ate the spirit of Zelda, transforming into a new being.
He became a muscular humanoid with hair that was made of fire. demonic red eyes and cloak wrapped around his legs.
Ganondorf looked at the large demon and smiled.
" So I have been reborn. How long have I awaited to be free again." Demise looked around and sees Link. " So you are the goddess's chosen hero. How sad." Demise slammed his fist into Ghirahim's chest and transformed him into a large jagged broadsword that oddly looked like an evil version of the Master Sword, complete with the Triforce on the blade.
" If you are truly willing to fight me, then enter this portal. But know this, when I'm done killing you, your friends are next and then this pitiful world. Then I shall take my rightful place as a Ruler of Darkness!" Demise created a portal of darkness and walked through as Link and Terra chased after him.
" Youmu! Lets leave Vergil to Dante! We have to focus our efforts onto Ganondorf!" Ziden said as Youmu nodded.
Link and Terra looked around at their surrounding and was taken in by how beautiful the environment was. An infinite pool of water and a beautiful clear sky was quickly forgotten by them as they turned and saw Demise walking towards them with his sword in hand.
" I must say, you two are the bravest humans I have ever seen. How unfortunate that you two will die here." Demise walked forward and stopped in front of Link.
Demise Battle Phase 1 ( Skyward Sword)
Demise slammed his sword into the ground and created a large shockwave that was rolling towards Link. Terra blocked the attack with the Quake spell, swallowing the shockwave whole and leaving Demise wide open to attack.
Link jumped over the chasm and tried to slash Demise across the chest. Demise blocked the attack with his forearm and slammed the hilt of his sword into Link's skull, stunning him.
Demise spun his sword around and slashed Link in half, only to find out that his blade went right through him. " Blink!" Terra protected Link by casting a spell on him that prevents Link from being hit by physical attacks while the spell is active.
Demise was angered by this and charged at Terra with his sword over his head. When he slammed the sword into Terra, she rolled out of the way of the attack fired a Fira spell at Demise's foot, causing him to hop up and down clutching his burning foot while blowing on it.
Link dashed up to him and slashed him across the back, drawing blood as he ducked to dodge a strong fist to the skull. Link continued to jump backwards to dodge the rapid assault of punches and the sharp blade coming towards him.
" Thundaga!" Terra summoned a large number of powerful lightning bolts that electrocuted Demise and left him wide open to a rapid stab assault by Link. The holy energy that came from the Master Sword was heavily damaging the Demon King, but being a demon, this would not be enough to kill the Demon King. Link was not aware that Blink had worn off and decided to take Demise's attack head on.
Demise slammed his fist into Link's chest, knocking all the air out of his lungs. Demise kicked him hard in the chest and sent him sliding across the floor . Demise jumped into the air and slammed his foot into Link's stomach, forcing his gag reflex to kick in.
" Link!" Terra ran over to Link, only to be grabbed by Demise and slammed head first into the water. Demise proceeded to attempt to drown to the young girl as she struggled to obtain oxygen.
Link finished drinking a sparkling bottle of red potion as all of Link's pain melted away as if it never existed in the first place. Link saw Terra being drowned by the powerhouse demon. Link fired a sword beam at Demise, forcing him to release his grip on Terra. She got up and began suck in large gasps of air, attempting to fill her empty lungs.
Demise punted Terra toward Link and charged at them, causing storm clouds to form in the sky. " I've had enough of you two worms! DIE! ALONG WITH THIS PITIFUL WORLD!" Lightning struck his sword and he shot a blade of lightning at Terra, shocking her as he brought his sword down onto her back.
Clannnngggggg!
Link's sword blocked the attack that would have more than likely killed Terra. Terra fell into the water and casted Cura on herself, healing her wounds. But even after the healing, she was still too tired to move.
Link mimicked Demise and enhanced his blade with a lightning bolt. They began to exchange blows that caused the air to become charged with electricity. Terra watched the fight while drinking an elixir.
She regained her energy as she pointed her hand at Link. " Holy!" Several white orbs entered Link's blade and charged it with holy energy.
Demise punched Link in the gut, forcing the elf-like man to cough up blood. Demise slammed his fist into Link's jaw, forcing him to spin and fall. demise proceeded to rapidly punch Link in the face while taunting the Chosen Hero.
" WHAT'S WRONG BOY!? WEREN'T YOU GOING TO BEAT ME AND SAVE YOUR PATHETIC WORLD!?" Demise taunted with each thunderous blow.
Another cast of the Holy spell slammed into the chest of Demise, blasting him away and freeing Link.
Link's Triforce mark began to glow with a bright golden light as Link placed the Hylian Shield on his back and gripped the Master Sword with two hands. Demise chuckled as he looked at Link walking towards him.
" Do you really think that you can beat me, Hero? How laughable! I am the Demon King, the strongest of my race! If you think that a lowly human can beat me, then you are welcome to try!" Demise charged forward, ready to deal a killing blow.
Link pointed the back of his hand at Demise, which shot out a beam of light that trapped Demise between two large Triforces. Link charged in and began to slash Demise rapidly, with each slash drawing blood and causing golden sparks to fly out. Link was relentless with his attacks as he increased the speed of his attacks.
Demise was screaming in pain as his blood sprayed onto Link. " This is- This is- IMPOSSIBLE!"
" It's over Demise!" Link stopped his attack and crouched down. " Triforce Slash!" Link dashed through Demise, leaving a large cut across his chest as he fell to his knees.
Demise turned to Link with a rage filled face. " This isn't...over...boy." Demise's sword disappeared into nothing as he laughed and pointed at Link. " You will pay for this! For this treachery, I shall place a curse on you and your descendants. They will never know peace for an embodiment of my evil will be born whenever they exist and will cover their homes in darkness and the blood of their friends! Your descendants will never know peace!" Demise laughed while exploding into a black mist which was quickly absorbed by the Master Sword. Link fell the ground as they were teleported out of the battleground.
Link got up and saw that the Rulers of Darkness were gone but almost everyone was unconscious but Ziden was the one that looked the worst. Ziden's left arm, most of his right leg, his right forearm and most of his chest was blasted off and was slowly regenerating. Utsuho was crying and trying to shake Ziden awake. Link and Terra noticed that the orange device that is usually on her right arm was not there, but in Ziden's lap, severely damaged and looked exploded. Only Dante, Yukari, Sora, Reimu, Mario and Marisa were standing and looked relatively unharmed.
" What happened here?" Terra asked.
" Ganondorf happened. That bastard was throwing us around like ragdolls. If it wasn't for Reimu and Sora attacking him with holy weapons, he'd probably have killed us by now. But man, Ziden." Dante stopped when Yukari shot a cold glare at him.
" Ganondorf caused Utsuho's third leg to overload and Ziden absorbed the explosion, thinking it was a simple fiery explosion. He didn't know it was a nuclear explosion and it tore through his body. Utsuho is torn up about it and is trying her hardest to wake him up." Reimu explained.
A bright light began to shine from the Master Sword as it floated up into the sky. Sora opened a gateway to another world as Yukari gathered everyone and opened a gap.
" Link. You take of yourself, okay?" Yukari said as she entered the gap.
Link nodded his head and took Zelda up towards the temple.
Sora and Reimu looked at each other a bit before they entered the gap together.
Eirin took Ziden to the hospital room on the Zeta Dreadnought and began to treat Ziden as Patchouli and Utsuho stayed by his side the whole time. Several hours passed as Eirin worked with the high tech equipment to remove the radiation from his body.
" Thank gods. His wounds are finally regenerating and I got most of the radiation out of system." Eirin wiped the sweat from her brow.
" Then he is going to be alright then?" Patchouli asked, worried about her friend.
" He'll be fine. All he needs to do is rest and allow his wounds to heal." Eirin said, completely unaware that Ziden snuck out of the room.
"..."
"..."
" Unyuu? Where did Ziden go?" Utsuho began to look around the room, trying to find Ziden.
" I'll go get him." Patchouli got up with several small balls of water orbiting around her and flew off after him.
Eirin observed this and chuckled. " Young love... how adorable!"
Ike was watching the whole thing from his bed and simply sighed. " Glad I'm not in Harem. Sounds like Ziden is to be beaten up alot by his love interests." Ike thought about something else as Eirin walked over. " I just hope that the Phazon in his heart doesn't act up because of this." Ike said as Eirin overheard him.
" Phazon? In his...heart?" Eirin did not know what Phazon was or the horrors that it brought to many planets.
Ziden was walking down the hallway, fully clothed and mostly healed. He walked down the hallway, being wary of the fact that Patchouli and Eirin would force him to stay in bed, something he didn't want to do.
" Would have never expected that raven girl to have powers of nuclear fission, otherwise i would have teleported the explosion away. Nuclear energy always was a weakness to regenerative beings like myself." Ziden said to himself as he heard Mokou and Kaguya arguing about something.
Ziden entered the game room and that the two rivals were playing Mario Party against each other.
" Dear god. They are playing the game that could ruin friendships and start wars, Mario Party! I'm surprised that aren't killing each other right now." Mokou and Kaguya noticed Ziden standing in the doorway.
They pointed to the couch and a controller on the floor as Ziden was forced into a game of Mario Party 3 ( my favorite Mario Party). Ziden sat down as Kaguya forced herself into his lap and proceeded to pick their characters.
Ziden noticed that Remilia and Reisen was watching the game with the former being eager to watch the betrayal and the latter being forced to watch.
Ziden had picked Mario, Mokou had picked Yoshi, Kaguya had picked Peach and the CPU was a Hard difficulty Luigi.
They decided to play for thirty turns and on that Ice map whose name escapes me.
They were keeping up with each for the first fifteen turns with human characters each having 3 stars, but Ziden had over a hundred coins from him landing on the bank space multiple times and winning the mini-games like a champ. Ziden had in his possession a Boo bell and decided to use it when he was right next to a boo space on the final turn.
Mokou and Kaguya looked worried because they knew that Ziden about to steal one of their stars and they couldn't do anything to stop it. Of course Ziden had a more devious plan in the works.
Ziden used the Boo Bell and called Boo to his location. Ziden ends up spending 50 coins to steal Mokou's star, earning a glare from her and a kiss on the cheek from Kaguya.
Ziden ends up going to the Boo and steals Kaguya's star, causing his face to get slapped by Kaguya, but he didn't care. He was about to win this game when all of a sudden.
" What the heck? A Chance time space? Or a Bowser space? Screw it! Chance Time!" Ziden said as Kaguya sneered at him.
Ziden's happy face turned sad when Ziden was forced to exchange all of his stars with Luigi whom had none. Ziden fell down in sadness when the game declared the CPU the winner. Kaguya laughed at Ziden before she walked out of the room, looking for Eirin.
Mokou sat next to Ziden and wrapped her arm around his neck, in a pseudo friendly fashion. " So? You decided to steal my star,huh?" Mokou's hand erupted into flames. " I'm afraid I'll have to punish you for that."
" No you won't Mokou." Patchouli said while sitting down next to Ziden.
Mokou glared at her before giving Ziden a punch on the shoulder and left. Ziden noticed Patchouli sitting extremely close to him, keeping her gaze locked onto him.
It didn't take long for Ziden to find out what was going. " You're going to keep an eye on me, are you?"
" Yes. I don't want you to overexert yourself, Ziden~." Patchouli said.
" Well, I feel like wandering around so you'll have to come with me." Ziden stood up and took Patchouli with him while holding her hand.
Remilia and Reisen watched the sight until they realized that the game system was freed from the tyrants. They grabbed the Mario Kart cartridge and plugged it in.
" If I win, you have to be my servant for a week!" Remilia declared.
" If I win, you'll be my servant for the week!" Reisen said as they started the game. Little did Remilia know, Reisen was a pro at this game.
Ziden walked aimlessly through the hallways at a brisk pace, but not too fast as he didn't want to cause Patchouli's asthma acting up. Even though she was clinging to his arm like a leech, she was very comfortable.
Just like the last time, several explosions were heard coming from the library as Patchouli giggled.
" Looks like thats two times that your security has stopped Marisa. I am quite jealous." Patchouli said.
" Yeah. It is a security system I got from Master Hand." Ziden said.
" Master Hand...he's the guy that ran the tournaments that Mario and Ike competed in right?" Patchouli asked as they entered the rec room.
" Yes and he gave us this ship to help us travel through the worlds. Apparently Yukari and Master Hand knew each other and contacted us to stop the Ultima Brigade. So he told us to head to the Smashers worlds and gather up a fighting force to take those freaks down." Ziden said while sitting down. Patchouli sat next to him and rested her head on his shoulder while reading a book on Western Magic and Demons.
" Yukari seems to know a lot of powerful figures in these worlds. I always assumed that she slept all the time and caused mischief in Gensokyo every now and then." Patchouli said.
Ziden agreed to what Patchouli said as Meiling snuck up behind Ziden and grabbed him into a strong bearhug. Patchouli just watched as Meiling happily squeezed the air out of Ziden and would have more than likely have knocked him unconscious, if it wasn't for Patchouli clearing her throat.
She placed him back down and sat next to him as they both stared at him for obvious reasons.
" Ziden. If that hand of yours goes any higher than it is now, I'll use you as target practice for my water spells for a month." Patchouli threatened as Ziden placed his right hand on his lap. The left hand quickly joined his companion.
" Haahhhhahahah!" Ziden looked up and saw Dante laughing at him. " Damn. Not even officially a couple and she already has trained to obey!"
"..." Ziden remains silent as Patchouli smiled.
" Umm? Question Mr. Dante, but how did you get to Rogueport in the first place?" Patchouli asked.
" One of those Dimensional Cracks that Palkia creates every so often appeared in front of my shop and i was like 'why not?' and I jumped in. I saw you guys walking through the town and saw my ol' pal Ziden and thought ' why don't I drop in and say hello, Dante style!'!" Dante said while smirking.
Ziden looked at with an annoyed look. " Just be grateful that Yukari didn't tear you limb from limb after you broke her heart like that." Ziden said.
" Hey. All we did was snuggle and she wanted to marry me but I kindly declined." Dante said.
" By kindly declined, you mean you ran like hell and hooked with some random floozy." Ziden said as patchouli and Meiling glared at Dante like he was the devil.
" How cruel, Dante. Breaking her heart like that." Patchouli said.
" How dare you break a woman's heart like that!?" Meiling got up and tried to punch Dante in the face but Ziden stopped her.
" You can't Meiling. Yukari already said that she'll teach him a lesson for toying with her heart like that. You're really lucky that Ran and Chen didn't murder you right there and then." Ziden said.
" Ziden, I do hope that you've never done anything like this in your life." Patchouli asked.
" Nah. Normally I break a girl's heart when she catches me eating up all of her food and acciedently breaking all of her furniture. Or blowing up her house, sell all of her underwear on Ebay, let her dog get eaten by a Russian bear or get attacked by Zangeif, that happened once. It was an odd Tuesday. I think I made an odd reference, I really do."
Patchouli and Meiling blinked at Ziden's list of things he did and made a single mental note that they both shared outloud.
" I'm gonna make sure to lock up my underwear around you." They said in unison as they all started laughing.
They were completely unaware that Flandre was hanging up on the ceiling watching the whole conversation with a child like grin on her face.
" * Sigh* Dealing with the Ultima Brigade a third time is definitely more than enough times to deal with these guys." Ziden said.
" Oh? This is your third time fighting them? Because it is only my second time fighting them." Yukari was standing behind Ziden as he turned around and looked into her eyes.
" Hey. Not even going to lie to you, I fought them while in the Outside World. Ran and Chen do know, but I will take any punishment form you plan on doing to them because of this." Ziden said.
"... Very well. So you guys were talking about Master Hand, right?" Yukari sat down as Ziden began to walk on a treadmill.
" Yes. We were wondering how you knew this man." Patchouli said.
" Sorry, but that's my little secret." yukari said.
A gap opened over the treadmill and she began to mess with the treadmill controls, speeding it up. " Gahhhhhhh! Stop Yukari!" Ziden was struggling to keep up with the speeding work out machine. Yukari increased the speed to the point that Ziden couldn't keep up and fell down. The treadmill launched Ziden like a torpedo and sent him crashing into the dumbbell rack and knocked him for a loop.
Yukari proceeded to turn her attention to Dante whom was quickly trying to get away. " Oh Dante~! I have some presents for you~!" Yukari chased after Dante with her parasol in hand. Dante ran like the dickens to get away from the Gap Youkai that was chasing after him.
Ziden found himself back in the Infirmary with Utsuho hugging him and crying. Eirin was bandaging Ziden's head so that the wounds wouldn't become infected. Kaguya decided to visit him, despite the whole Mario Party fiasco.
Ziden merely sighed as he attempted to leave, only to be shadowed by Kaguya the whole time. The crew of the ship stared at the duo while gossiping as they passd by them.
" So that's Ziden new wife. She's beautiful." A female crew member said.
" I wonder if she has a sister." A man daydreamed.
" If she does, then I Sebastian Goldhelm shall claim her hand in marriage!" Sebastian said as a silver knife impaled him in the skull.
" There you are, Steven!" Sakuya was walking towards Steven with silver knives in her hands.
" Oh hey. Since you are my wife, I should introduce you to the family punching bag, Sebastian Goldhelm, a.k.a Steven." Ziden pointed to the butler named Steven.
Steven was wearing a black business suit with messy red hair and green eyes.
Steven pulled the knife out and tried to run only to see Sakuya standing in front of him with glowing red eyes.
" What did you do this time, Steven?" Ziden asked.
" This creepy butler was spying on me while I was taking a shower!" Sakuya yelled as Kaguya glared at the man.
" Kaguya, because you are my wife and therefore is able to abuse and punish Steven as you see fit, as said by the Yama. Do not feel bad for his pain, especially you readers, because this is HIS version of hell." Ziden said.
" My god. He must have committed a truly terrible crime." Kaguya said.
" Yes and the person who was the victim of his crime, hates him with the fury of a thousand suns." Ziden said while leaving Steven to be tortured by the angry Sakuya.
Ziden and Kaguya continued to wander around until they bumped into Kanako and Suwako.
Ziden shot a glare at Kanako who glared back at Ziden. They stood there completely silent before they walked past each other as Suwako waved at Ziden.
" Jeez. What was that all about?" Kaguya asked.
" I guess she's still mad about me causing her dream to be completely halted or something." Ziden said.
" When did this happen?" She asked.
" During the Galactic Council that occurs every month. She said something about wanting to upgrading her lands into a more higher tech society. We told her that unless the inhabitants of her land are willing to accept these change, only then would she be able to do it. But several people were against, namely me and Yukari, and we told her that we would not allow her go through with her goal. She told us that she didn't need our permission to industrialize Gensokyo and that she would do it anyway." Ziden paused for a second and sees Kanako following them with a scowl on her face.
" What happened?" Kaguya asked.
" Those bastards threatened to send Omega to my shrine!" Kanako yelled.
" Me and Yukari were against sending Omega after you if you did decide to go through with your plan. That machine is too destructive to be used on such a minor offense. After all, Omega is one of the few beings that can go toe-to-toe with Shinryu, the Dragon Overlord and any other Universal Powerhouses." Ziden said.
" Ziden? Have you ever fought any of these Powerhouses?" Kaguya asked.
" Yes. Shinryu and Omega are one of the stronger members, but even they could be beaten if one trained hard enough. We were unfortunate of angering Shinryu during the last journey and nearly lost our lives because of it, but I gave that scaled freak a nice scar he'll never forget!" Ziden said.
" Humph! So what!? I can't believe that they would even threaten the safety of Gensokyo just because I wanted to introduce technology to Gensokyo. At least I introduced technology to the Underground and the Youkai Mountain." Kanako seemed like she was upset.
" Whatever. Why don't you go and mope somewhere else?" Ziden said as he shooed Kanako away.
Kanako left before she felt the need to strangle the life out of Ziden. The duo made their way into the Control Room and looked at the two new worlds that popped up.
One was a space station that looked like a casino with several spaceships flying around it.
The other was a large floating city with various skyscrapers and a large golden badge with a lightning bolt on it was floating around the city.
" That space station... I've got a bad vibe coming from that thing." Ziden said as he locked onto the world that looked like a castle with a red rrose underneath it.
" Aww? Are we going to that world now?" Kaguya asked.
" No. After that Ganondorf incident, we need a tad break from this. Remember, time moves differently in space, so we can rest a bit." Ziden said.
An audible growl came Kaguya's stomach as Ziden began to laugh. " Come on. Lets get you some food in that belly!"
Ziden took Kaguya to the dining room and got the kitchen ready to be used by the young chef.
" What do you want eat Kaguya?" Ziden asked.
" Hmmm. I'm craving something sweet... so how about some chocolate cake?" Kaguya answered.
" Sure thing." Ziden began to prepare the ingredients when Kaguya asked for something else when Ziden sighed. " I'll see what I can do about your predicament, Kaguya. Please go wait in the dining room until I'm finished cooking the food for you."
Kaguya went into the dining room as he thought to himself. " Jeez! What is it with women and being jealous of other women's breast sizes? I swear, even with my long life, I will never understand how a woman's mind works." Ziden got to work on making the cake.
Kaguya was looking down at her ring and possibly something else as Ziden brought her the chocolate cake and drooled at the sight of the cake.
The cake was covered in a dark icing with several blocky pieces of chocolate sprinkled on it. The cake itself was flash frozen, but only to prevent the icing and chocolate pieces from melting.
Kaguya proceeded to calmly eat the cake as a dignified woman would while Ziden sat down and tapped his fingers on the desk.
" What am I going to do? Those marines... I don't think that they are going to give up so easily. But worries me are those Logia types... we were only able to harm that Aokiji guy because his power is ice, a solid elemental power. What if we faced a Logia type that isn't solid at all?" Kaguya finished eating as she noticed a worried look on Ziden's face.
" Ziden? Is something wrong?" Kaguya asked.
"...Yeah." Ziden stood up and opened a vortex to a large blue and white mansion. " Kaguya. Let Yukari know that I'll be heading home for some training and that I'll be back shortly."
Kaguya looked at Ziden with a worried expression on her face before she grabbed his hand and held on tight. " I'm coming with you."
Ziden was about to tell her no, but he saw the determination her eyes and knew she wouldn't back down. " Alright, but don't expect this training to be easy. I don't even know what to expect." Ziden and Kaguya entered the gap and saw that there was a large man on the roof, drinking sake from a very large gourd.
The man was very muscular and an upside down mustache, styled like a white crescent moon. The man had a black bandana and a large white jacket resting on his shoulders. He was wearing a pair of black slacks with a purple sash around his waist. There was a circular scar on his chest that looked like a burn, a BAD burn.
Ziden and Kaguya jumped onto the roof and looked at the man.
" I know why you are here, boy. You wish to learn a way to fight Logia types." The man said.
" Yeah. And she does as well." Ziden said.
" Yes. Can you please teach us a way to combat those Logia types?" Kaguya asked while kneeling before the man.
The man let out a breath of air and looks at the two before he stood up. " Very well! I shall teach you brats how to not only fight Logia types, but how to harm them as well!" The man cracked his knuckles. " Heh! Time for you two brats to learn Haki!"
Back on the ship...
Komachi was angrily pacing around as if she was angered by something. She was gripping her scythe tight and blood was beginning to drip down the handle.
" Stupid jerk... flirting with...other people...starting a Harem...without me! Graaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" Komachi was raging mad as steam bellowed out her ears and nostrils.
Jealousy was riding her like a tick on a dog's back. Komachi began to calm herself down until she saw Steven running towards her.
Her jealousy turned to rage as she tried to behead Steven with the scythe. " You're gonna pay for what you did to me!" Steven's face turned blue and he ran from the Shinigami whom was wildly swinging her scythe.
Reimu and Sora were once again sparring against each other and Marisa was covered in burns and cuts.
" Darn it, ze! I want those books!" Marisa was steaming mad, but was ignored by the two fighters.
Yukari was watching the television while Remilia is forced to give Reisen a foot massage while moon rabbit gets nice and comfortable.
Yukari relaxes and stretches, showing small hints of her chest under her heavy garbs. The girls noticed the move and ignored her display.
Yukari noticed this as well and scowled at the girls. " You're just jealous of my body!" Yukari exclaimed.
" Jealous of what? An old hag with saggy cow udders? No thanks." Remilia said while getting in between Reisen's toes.
" Yes. I'm glad I'm still young and perky! Not all old and deflated!" Reisen taunted.
Yukari looked furious as she began to fire an unholy amount of bullets at the duo whom was running and screaming while dodging the bullets.
Mario saw this and sweatdropped. " This is going to be a long trip. Mama-mia."
Luigi's cry for help hits Mario's ears as he entered Hero mode and dashed to find his brother. He entered the docking bay and saw Mokou throwing several fireballs at Luigi. Mario immediately throws his hammer at Mokou's face, smashing her nose and staining her shirt red.
" What the hell was that for!?" Mokou demanded.
" Why are you attacking my brother!?" Mario counter demands.
" Tch! I was just using him as target practice because that little cheat stole a victory from my Ziden's nose!" Mokou said.
Mario looked dumbfounded at the girl before he absorbed a fire flower and pointed his fiery hand at Mokou.
Mokou cracked her knuckles and charged at Mario, ready for a good brawl.
Mokou is later seen badly injured and wrapped in blood stained bandages, resting in the infirmary. " Stupid mushroom eating jerk."
" It's your fault for stupidly attacking the guy's brother. I mean really now." Dante said while being bandaged by Eirin.
" Shut up! I could have taken him!" Mokou yelled.
" Yep. Just like how you so called 'took care of me and Ziden.'? The only time you kicked anyone's ass was Bowser's and that's only because he called you a female Spikes." Dante said.
Mokou was about to burn the bandages off and attack the half demon, but notices Eirin glaring at her and she calmed down.
Dante was deep in thought as he stared out the window into space. " Vergil... why were you revived and taken over by the darkness? When we fought just now, it felt like you were under 'his' control again. Does that mean that he is back too?" Dante continued to think while staring into space.
" Hey Dante." Dante turned to look at Eirin. " Have you seen Ziden or Kaguya? I haven't seen them in a while."
Mokou tried to get up only to be stopped by Yuyuko in a nurse costume and Kirby who was wearing a stethoscope.
Dante decided to say something to anger Mokou, knowing that she wouldn't be able to do anything to stop it. " So Eirin? Do you think that Ziden and Kaguya are getting to 'know' each other better?"
Eirin smirked when she realized Dante's plan, she decided to go along with it. " Yes. After all they are married and I do remember hearing that Kaguya did want children a long time ago."
Mokou began to growl and she began to set herself on fire. Yuyuko slapped her across the face with a frying pan, knocking her out cold.
Dante began to laugh, completely losing his sad mood. Of course, at this point Dante was hungry for his two of his favorite things; Jack Daniels and Pizza!
Eirin decided to leave and search for the missing princess and idiot, only to be startled by a vortex opening in front of them. Ziden and Kaguya came through the vortex, with their clothes torn and bruises all over their faces and exposed skin.
They were both sweating and were breathing hard. Dante, of course, had to say something. " Dear god, Ziden! She must have given you quite the workout!" Dante was laughing and clapping.
" Screw. You. Dante. My. Lungs. Are. Killing. Me." Ziden fell to the ground face first and Yuyuko raced over to him and placed his head on her lap.
" Training. Was. Too. Hard. Arms. Legs. Feel. Like. Jelly." Eirin ran over and caught the princess before she feel down. Mokou had one eye open and was staring at the tired princess. She was thinking about what kind of training that they went through.
Yuyuko was petting Ziden like he was a puppy but he didn't seem to mind. In fact, Ziden seemed to like it. She was scratching the area near where the soft spot is when a memory sparked into his mind.
Ziden remembered that when he was little and was upset. Yuyuko would always scratch that spot and Ziden would feel better and calm down. This was Ziden's first memory of Yuyuko to reemerge and it showed that Yuyuko truly is his aunt... sorta. She did help to raise him whenever she'd sneak out of the Netherworld and leave her poor gardener to frantically search for her.
Ziden now felt bad that he called her crazy and apologized, only for her to smile at him and gave him a ghost hug that took the air out of his lungs. " You remembered me~! You remembered that I'm your aunt!"
Kaguya watched this and smiled, but stopped when she saw Mokou in the bed staring at her.
Ziden was still tired but he knew that he still had people to check up on. Ziden was worried about the hell raven that was crying over him. He was concerned about Aya's newfound affection towards him. Ziden wanted to have a chat with the so-called Strongest in Gensokyo ( all Touhou fans knows that isn't true...sorta.). Ziden wanted a little chat with Marisa regarding his books.
Ziden also wanted to check up on Alice's progress on making the dolls completely animate. Ziden also wanted to see what Nitori is up to right now. Ziden also has to watch his back for Flandre as he has been told of her special little ability.
Ziden got free of the hug, only to be gapped into the teleportation room and saw Yukari and Terra waiting for them.
Ziden looked at Terra and shook his head. " Before you say anything Ziden, Terra is now joining because of her expertise in black and white magic." Yukari said.
" Fine. Everyone, pick a straw." Ziden said.
The people whom were chosen to go to this world was; Mokou, Cirno, Remilia, Flandre, Patchouli, Meiling, Aya, Dante and Ike.
Eirin knew that several people on this list were injured and was about to object to them going until Terra stepped forward. " Curaga!" A green light wrapped around everyone as they feel their wounds close and their exhaustion melt away like it never existed in the first place.
" Alright, if you guys want to stay on the ship and explore it, feel free to do so. I know that Sanctuary isn't much compared to the ship, but hey, it works. Have fun!" The Illusionary Heroes descended to the world.
They found themselves in a dark foyer to a castle. Sora, Donald and Goofy were together again and were walking down the carpeted path. The room consisted of a large foyer that had four large grey pillar that had scratch marks on it. There were four doors in the room that were arranged across from each other. In the front of them was a staircase that led to door and diverged off to the left and right parts of the castle.
Waltz of the Damned ( Kingdom Hearts 2)
" Hmm. Nice music here." Ziden said.
" Indeed. It fits for a nice castle like this." Remilia said.
Mokou was staring at Ziden, feeling like something was off about his appearance when she realized it. " Hey Ziden? What happened to your weapons?"
Ziden looked at himself and noticed that all of his weapons were gone. Ziden was panicking and searching all over the place while the trio of Sora, Donald and Goofy were talking.
" I wonder what world are we on right now." Sora asked.
" This place does look kinda spooky." Donald said while shivering.
" Gawrsh. It feels like someone we know lives here." Goofy said.
" Roarrrrrrr!" A loud roar came from the western part of the of the castle, starling everyone.
" What in the world was that?!" Ziden asked.
The roar happened again and Sora instantly recognized that roar.
" That's the Beast's roar!" Sora said, happy to know that he will see an old friend.
" Bah! He calls that a roar! I have heard louder roars coming from my stomach." Cirno proudly declared.
A shadow heartless appeared on the ground entered a room with Sora, Donald, Goofy and Ziden giving chase.
When they entered the room, they noticed that it was simple room with a beautiful red carpet and nice fire place. What they noticed the most about the room was the red rose in a glass case on a table in the corner.
Donald approached the case and stared at the rose before the shadow heartless appeared in front of him, surprising him and causing him to fall back. Several Shadow Heartless appeared the group of four. Ziden summoned Hero's Strife, Sora summoned the Kingdom Key and they got ready to fight.
Dance of the Daring ( Kingdom Hearts II)
Ziden used Guard to block a claw swipe from a Shadow and knocked it skyward. Ziden shot streams of fire at the Shadow, blasting into dust. Sora was juggling them with the Fire spell and hit them with quick three combos, knocking them all around the room.
Donald was blasting with various spells and beating them senseless with his staff. Goofy slammed his into the back of a Shadow before throwing at a Heartless that was about to hit Donald.
Ziden sensed a Shadow was trying to slice him across his back and he bent forward, allowing the attack to pass over him harmlessly. Ziden slammed his hands on the floor and brought the heel of his foot into the jaw of the Shadow, allowing Ziden to flip and slash the heartless across his stomach.
This fighting was going on for a few minutes before the group was starting to get tired.
" Man! These guys won't stop coming!" Sora said.
" SOMEBODY HELP US!" Donald screamed.
The door bursted open and a furry creature wearing a purple cape and greenish pants. The creature slashed through the hordes of Heartless.
Sora approached the creature. " Way to go, Beast!" Sora said before the Beast threw him against the wall.
The Beast proceeded to throw both Goofy and Donald against the wall. Ziden approached the Beast and yelled at him. " Hey buddy! What the heck is your problem!? * SMACK* Oh God!" Ziden is sent flying into the wall, losing his shoes in the process and getting stuck in the wall.
The Beast picked up the Rose and admired it for a few seconds before he left. Sora got up and rubbed his arm, which was in pain from the attack from the Beast.
" Why did the Beast just attack us?" Sora asked.
" Maybe he didn't recognize us?" Goofy suggested.
" Maybe. I think we should go and figure this out." Sora said.
Little did they know that a dark force was watching over them.
Ruler 3 was outside the castle, looking down on the group that outside the castle, looking around the courtyard.
" Too bad that the young vampire hunting girl isn't here, I'd love to take vengence on her for killing me all those years ago." The full moon was behind the man and illuminated the aura around the man.
Another presence was wondering around the castle, holding a large blood red scythe and talking to herself. " *giggling* I can sense that my love is here in this castle. Ziden Icrim, you shall be mine!" The woman had brown hair, styled into two pigtails. She wore an unbuttoned red blouse and a black skirt with skulls on them. Her silver eyes were glowing in the darkness.
The heroes had saved Link's world from darkness and defeated the Demon King, Demise which in turn set up the future adventures for his descendants. After an intense training session, Ziden and Kaguya came back to the ship, stronger and with new powers under their belts, but will these new powers be enough to stop the evil beings lurking in Beast's Castle? Stay tuned to find out.

Author's note: Finally! School is out and I am graduating in just a few days! No more having to wake up 5:00 in the morning and go to bed early! It also means that I can pump out this story faster. And yes, I do realize that Ziden sounds like a really overpowered OC, but don't forget that even with every power in the world, a person can be beaten even by a weaker opponent. Gensokyo Analysis will come back next chapter. I would love some more reviews for this story. The one's I have been getting so far are positive and I'd like some more as well.
