6: Effortless
"Just follow my lead." The Mana Goddess told her new compatriots as she disemdragoned just outside the Mygdos faux-family household. Suddenly, a lightning bolt shot through the entrance, charring her cartoon stuy-ul, and she collapsed in an ashen heap.
"I'd recognize that energy signature anywhere," remarked the caped one.
"Um, it's just lightning, Lance," the shorter one replied, but by that time, the caped one had jumped off his massive, reptilian steed. "There goes the plan, I guess." He attempted carrying the crystalline coffin containing the sleeping Princess, but after taking a deep breath, wiping his brow, and falling on his rear, he ultimately wobbled (in a pattern very reminiscent of a slow, deliberate Harlem Shake) under the weight and collapsed. Lacking anymore strength, he simply ran after his ally, past the recuperating Goddess.
Lance had already leaped through the doorway, swept his cape to one side of his body, and pointed dramatically at the mouse-rat bleeding from its eye, shooting electricity every which way. Shocked and slightly embarrassed, he was able to regain his composure; "You've come this far, but my dragons are invincible."
Mygdos III leapt up at the word "dragon," and Mygdos Jr. reached into his pocket for the red-and-white balls containing his monsters, forgetting Mygdos III had slashed all save the currently hemorrhaging hare. The initial Mygdos, however, was the first to speak up. Noticing the cape and spiky hair, he finally thought he understood. "My clone."
"No, wait, I came for my son. I have no trouble with you."
"I won't listen to your lies anymore. Clearly, I've somehow fallen into the Clone World where you are in control. Well, we'll see about that." Mygdos I leapt at Lance, pushing him outside and over the head of the running agrarian.
"Clones? What?" The other Mygdosii were at a total loss.
"One time Mig fought a cloned version of himself but I don't know where he got this Clone World stuff from," the girl expositioned while tending the mini-monster.
"Does that mean there's a clone form of me?" asked Mygdos the son-of-somebody. Before the girl could answer, the young sharecropper rushed in, confused by the ongoing brawl which had sailed over him. Seeing his backwards cap and diminutive stature, he too thought he had his answer. "I won't need Pikachu for you. Satoshi STRIKE."
Watching the two tumble outside, the girl looked at the remaining 'Dos while the 1'4" creature tired from loss of blood. "Aren't you going to go find your 'clone' too?"
"Shadows are more up my alley than tangible doppelgangers. Parallel reality versions of myself tend to look like bunnies anyway. Hm, do you think his monster could..."
"NO." She clutched Mydgos/Lance el Segundos gasping beast to her bosom.
"Well excuuuuse me. I just...just...." The triangle emblem on the elvin-Mygdos' shield began beeping. "Triforce sense...tingling. Either Gannon or Zelda must be nearby."
"You go do you. Well...actually, can you make sure my boyfriend doesn't get hurt?"
"Boyfriend?"
"Just follow my lead." The Mana Goddess told her new compatriots as she disemdragoned just outside the Mygdos faux-family household. Suddenly, a lightning bolt shot through the entrance, charring her cartoon stuy-ul, and she collapsed in an ashen heap.
