Game Realm

Time: 1530 hours

"Red alert! Red alert!" Allstar N64 Link shouted as the ship rocked under the attack, "Get the shields up! Zelda! Ganondorf! Prepare for retaliation!" The crew aboard the Queen of Hyrule scrambled to get in place for a return attack as the ship was pelted with laser fire. They had been sailing through space on the way to the Planet of Powers when they were suddenly set upon by a fleet of X Warships and Nintendo Captor Cruisers.

"We're down to 75 percent on the shields! They're shooting something weird at us and it's taking down our shielding energy like nothing!" Mido declared over the bombardment. Advance Veran held her head in her hands and risked a peek at her scanners.

"The fleet has surrounded us!" she declared in shock, "And the Gates Crusher is there! X and Baux are leading the attack!" The crew began to chatter in terror.

"Oh no! We've been captured by the X Twins!"

"The Entities of Xbox are going to kill us!"

"We're going to die!"

"Miyamoto help us!"

"Stop that!" Link snapped and looked back at his elders, the NES Link and SNES Link, "We're going to have to call him. He's the only one who can take them down." he whispered. The elves nodded and ran to the nearest console, sending out a distress signal.

The Zelda characters prayed fiercely and then cheered as they saw the viewscreen flash to show the image of a Link glaring at them. This Link was unusually somber and grim looking, with three scars marring his once perfect face and dressed in black armor with a red cape.

"This is Elle Maverick of the Elfin Phoenix responding to a distress call. What is your problem?" the former Link replied.

"Advance Link, we're under attack by the X Fleet and...." Link started to say but Elle fumed.

"How many times must I tell you to never call me by that name?!" he snapped, "I am not a part of Nintendo anymore! I don't have any stupid games to star in, I don't have any ties to you weaklings! I only protect you because you can't do it yourselves!" With that, the viewscreen vanished to show the fleet surrounding the ship. Suddenly, two of the warships exploded as a tiny fighter zipped around, firing missiles and lasers, barely distinguishable due to its solid black coloring with the single green phoenix stretched along its length.

"Elle! The Gates Crusher is out there! Be careful!" Link called out.

"Dammit, Allstars! You should have said something sooner! Contact Nin, Tendo, and Sega! Get them out here! Only Entities can battle Entities!" the young captain snapped as he took down another squad of ships.

"No need for the call! We're here already!" Nin's voice called out. The characters aboard the Queen of Hyrule looked out their portholes at the distance. Three children flew through space towards them and stopped in front of the ship. Nin was the older of the Legendary Twins, her golden hair tied in a ponytail with a red ribbon and emerald green eyes glaring out at the ships attacking. Dressed in a red shirt, pink skirt, pink socks and cape, and red slippers, the first Twin was known as the Gentle Hand for her gentle and caring nature...until angered, that is.

"Let's show them why Nintendo's the best! They won't dare try another attack as long as we stay strong!" Tendo declared, floating next to his sister. The Fierce Hand excelled in battle and loved to fight. Dressed in a dark blue shirt with matching socks, blue shorts and shoes and cape, he glared out at the leading ship with deep brown eyes that matched his short hair.

"Don't forget your greatest ally! Sega Sprite's the name and software's the game! I let you guys take some of my games and this is how you repay me?! By trying to destroy the one system I gave my very best children too?! You're just asking for a whuppin'!" Sega shouted, hovering next to Tendo. With short, spiky blue hair and blue eyes, she looked like her hairstyle was based off of Sonic's design. Dressed in a white shirt, torn jeans, hiking boots and a Walkman strapped to her hip with the headphones slung around her neck, she looked like a punk fairy, chewing bubble gum and flitting her wings as the antennae on her head bobbed slightly.

"Stop your babbling and fire on them already!" Elle griped as he darted among the ships, firing constantly. Sega nodded and flew forward, a ball of energy in her hands.

"Sega's Last Stand!" she cried and whirled around, throwing the ball so it formed a blade of cool blue energy that sliced through four warships.

"Tendo Thunderstorm!" Tendo screamed as he threw his hands out at another squadron, pelting them with thousands of lightning bolts.

"Nin-penetrable!" Nin cried, casting an impenetrable shield around the Queen of Hyrule to protect it from further attacks. Elle flew past and opened fire on the Gates Crusher, trying to lure it away from the group.

"Pathetic fool. You think to take on the greatest Entities the Realm has ever known?!" X and Baux, evil versions of the Nintendo Twins, purred darkly.

"Take out the Gates Crusher! Hurry!" Elle shouted as the lasers began to be trained on him. He flitted and evaded to the best of his abilities, refusing to allow himself to be hit. Nin and Tendo nodded at each other and flew up to the ship, hand in hand.

"Nintendo's Wrath!" they screamed together, unleashing a wall of energy that plowed through the fleet, destroying everything in its path. Sega tumbled through space and straightened, looking up in horror as the Elfin Phoenix was struck on the wing and sent spiraling through space.

"Tendo! Maverick!" she screamed and the Twins looked back in shock. What had they done? And to one of their own children!

"Advance Link!" Allstar Link screamed from within the ship, watching in terror as the fighter vanished from his view.

"Argh! Another one! The Nintendo Twins have never used the spell Nintendo's Wrath since the destruction they caused on the original Game Realm!" the Watcher growled, "Quinta's interference made them use it and cost them the hero of that timeline!" He clenched his fists and glared up at the screens. "Knowing Quinta, she's going to strike one more time. Which timeline will it be?!" he grumbled as he studied the various timelines.
