Siminix couldn't believe what he'd just heard. He'd replace someone that had to go up against axes, swords, jousting. he liked it!

"Whoa! I get to use swords and junk?" He asked the employee.

"Um, sure." The employee straightened his tunic and asked Siminix to follow him out. The giant Hylian waved goodbye.

"Good luck, lad." He bellowed out in his deep, burly voice. "Don't forget to use those gauntlets. You'll need them to wield those big swords." He went back to hammering the sword.

Sapporo was a burning wreck. Over half of the city looked like it, too, was a victim of an atomic bomb. Endless amounts of lava splashed through the city, burning buildings and vaporizing people. The molten rock spewed over five hundred feet in the air from the hole in the street, and the Crimson Rider waded through the yellow liquid as if it was nothing but warm water. His horse ran wild through the city, smashing all that came in its way.

Of course, Japan's armed forces responded to the attack. From a "safe" place out on the ocean, the battleships patrolled around scanning for the Rider. Rescue helicopters swarmed the area, picking up survivors and attempting to extinguish the lava.

The Crimson Rider strode up to the molten geyser, and as the lava rained down on him, he asked aloud, "Where is he?" He crossed his arms in frustration.

Suddenly, from the destructive hole, three heads emerged. They were both drenched in the smoking liquid, but their features were easily visible. The heads had a canine appearance, all with sharp teeth. The necks connected to a dog-like body. The creature was about thirty feet tall with a length of forty feet.

"Welcome to the surface, Cerberus." He greeted the monster. "Stay where there is lava. I don't want to lose you to the cold." The three-headed monster was almost invincible at any place that had a temperature hundreds of degrees above zero. But in the cold, it was very vulnerable. "Destroy everything!"

All of the heads roared an affirmative, and then the destruction began. Structures that were burnt and charred from the fires were smashed to pieces by the monster. It would rear up on its hind legs and swipe at the buildings. Each of the heads would suck up mouthfuls of lava and slaver them over anything that was not burned.

"Yes, Cerberus. Destroy this city. Soon Japan will be a lifeless rock, and from my throne above the boiling piles of lava, I shall strike terror onto the earth." He pulled off his glove and dumped some of the lava out of it. The three triangles on his hand began to glow, but there was one triangle that was missing. "I have the left one, top one, and the center one. But the right one shall be mine in the end. Isn't that right?" He reached into his satchel and pulled out a glowing orb. Inside, Link and Zelda were lying down. "Your son will be with you shortly."

Meanwhile, their son was about to go out into the arena. The beginning of the show was about to start, and tourists had taken their seats and were being served enormous amounts of food. The arena was roofed in, and the audience's seats were in a horseshoe formation with the arena in the middle. Everyone had different sections that were divided by color: Blue, Red & Yellow, Black & White, Green, Yellow, and Red. Each section had a knight to represent them (the knight was dressed in the corresponding color).

The "King" stepped into his box and announced to the audience. "Lords and ladies! Welcome to Medieval Times!" A huge uproar came from the audience. "Meet your knights!"

The Red Knight strode out, waving to his people and throwing roses out to all of the ladies. Afterwards, the Black & White Knight came, then the Red & Yellow Knight, then the Blue, the Red, the Yellow, and finally Siminix.

"I hope this works." He rode out into the middle of the arena and then his supporters all jumped up, cheering him on. Siminix tossed out some roses to some of the best looking chicks out there. He was clad in knight armor. Chain mail covered his chest, and hard shoulder braces protected his neck and upper arm. He was wearing his gauntlets, of course, and his hammer and shield were attached around his back (it took him forever to beg the directors to let him use the shield and hammer). He reached back and pulled the hammer out of its leather cover, and he waved it around above his head. His horse reared up in the air, almost knocking him off. This achieved a huge audience approval. Afterwards, Siminix decided that it was enough and he returned back to where he had entered.

After he had rested for a while, it was time for them to have the tournament. This was what he'd been waiting for. Navi had told him that it'd be a good practice for fighting, but the bad thing about it was that he'd have to lose. The show involved him losing the first match and then he'd be able to leave.

He rode back onto the arena. The fight started with a joust, and then the two would fight each other hand to hand. Siminix steered his horse to his side of the beam that separated the two sides. On the other end was the Blue Knight; he had his joust ready. 'Crap, this guy must've done this show several times. I'm probably gonna get the s--- kicked out of me'. He brought up his shield and prepared for the worst.

His squire slapped his horse on the fanny and so did the Blue Knight's. They started off, heading straight towards each other. Siminix aimed his joust forward. 'Okay.' He thought. 'Just do what they taught you in practice.' The two knights met. His joust met the other's shield and sent him flying off of his horse. Siminix suffered the same thing. He fell off of his horse and landed on the ground with a plop.

The other knight had gotten up and was waving a ball n' chain around. Siminix searched the place for the shield he'd dropped. He found it lying in the dirt, but the Blue Knight was advancing on him. 'Remember, make this exciting for the audience.' He thought to himself. So, instead of crawling for his shield, he ducked out of the way just as the Blue Knight swung the ball n' chain at him. His section of the audience cheered him on.

"Time to spice things up!" He shouted. Siminix pulled out the hammer and gave it a few swipes. The Blue Knight was circling him, trying to build up tension in the audience. 'Remember, the objective isn't to win, just be very showy.'

Siminix realized that his shield was very close to him. He swooped down and grabbed it, but the Blue Knight was already making another charge. Siminix clutched the shield by the edge, and with gracefulness of a swan, he hurled it like a discus towards the Blue Knight. The shield collided into his cuirass and knocked him backwards. Siminix then charged the Blue Knight while he was stunned. He held the Megaton Hammer forward like a sword and slammed into the guy's stomach. Of course, the EXTREMELY hard armor took most of the blow, but the Blue Knight toppled over to build up tension. The audience was jumping up and down now, slamming their cups on the tables and cheering on both knights.

"Let's give them a scare." Siminix said to himself, and he raised the hammer above his head. The Blue Knight saw what he was supposed to do. Before Siminix brought the hammer down, the Blue Knight rolled over to the side and grabbed Siminix's Mirror Shield. 'Uh, should I let him hold that?' He thought to himself. Acting frustrated, he threw the hammer at the Blue Knight and he just barely ducked out of its way. The Blue Knight retaliated by hurling his ball n' chain like a bolas at Siminix. 'Time to do something flashy.' Instead of avoiding it, he reached out with his hand and grabbed its handle while it was still coming at him. The audience was still going ballistic. 'Yeah, y'all like that.'

The Blue Knight sprinted over to where the Megaton Hammer lay, and he bent down to pick it up. No surprise, he couldn't budge it. Siminix snickered to himself and charged the Blue Knight, twirling his newly acquired weapon. Before Siminix reached him, the Blue Knight held out the shield like a spear. Siminix collided into it, dropping the ball n' chain. "Die." The Blue Knight whispered to him.

At first, Siminix was confused, but then he realized that he was supposed to die in the fight. So, being as dramatic as possible, he faked a very good death. First, his eyes widened, and there was a dramatic hush through the audience. Then, he gave out a blood-curdling yell that made everyone jump. Then, he slowly fell to his knees and fell forwards. The Blue Knight raised the shield into the air, victoriously. The Green Knight fans booed and the Blue Knight fans cheered. Siminix's squires rolled out a wooden cart and threw him into it. They rolled him away, the audience still giving their opinions of the fight.

As he entered the place where the other knights waited their turn to go out, he heard an announcement. "Attention everybody. Tonight's show has been canceled. As we speak, there is some kind of. well. monster attacking a Japanese city. All theme parks are closing and I suggest that you all get with your families." Big mistake, the whole place went into panic.

This caught Siminix off guard. "What? Monster!"

"He's back." He heard Navi gasp from high above him in the rafters. This was not good.
