Time: 1630 hours
Link walked into a wall and banged his nose. Jumping back tearfully, he put a hand to it and blinked rapidly. "Ow! What was that?! Who put that wall in the middle of the street?!" he exclaimed and looked around him, "Hey, this isn't Hyrule! Where am I?!"
A bright flash brought forth a Link covered in spider webs. He dropped onto the floor and writhed before freeing himself. He pulled threads of webbing from his hair and spit a little of it out of his mouth. "I hate my job. Man! I should get hazard pay from the police force for this!" he griped and looked up at the Hyrulian Link. "Oh, hell, another me."
Another flash resulted in a car being parked in the room, two Links blinking out at the two other ones in surprise. The doors opened and they stepped out. Dark Link looked around, then glared at his brother. "Okay, Bro. What turn did you take this time?"
"Same one I always do!" Allstar Link protested as Dark Link waved a fist threateningly at him.
"I told you to take the I-10 cutoff! Why don't you ever listen to me?! Gah, I should never have swapped seats with you!" he snapped as the Hyrulian Link shrieked in a fury and raced at him with the Gilded Sword.
"Die, Dark Link!" he yelled and the dark elf jumped aside with a cry.
"Whoa! Link! This look-alike's trying to kill me!" he shouted as Link vaulted over the car and defended him with the Master Sword as the Hyrulian Link came around for another try.
"Hey, you! Knock it off! Leave my brother alone!" he snapped and blinked as the other Link paused in shock.
"Your...brother?!" he echoed in surprise. "But, he's an evil version of me!"
"Pbbt!" Dark Link muttered, "That's just the video game! I'm not evil! I'm an actor! I get paid to sword-fight with my twin!"
"Video game?"
Allstar Link put his sword away as the Hyrulian Link scratched his head. "Yep, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest. Don't you read Nintendo Power?" he answered. Hyrulian Link shook his head. "Here. Enjoy." Allstar Link remarked as he grabbed a copy from the car and handed it to him. Hyrulian Link flipped the pages, blinking at the pictures and words, then packed it away. "So where are we?"
Another flash and Elle Maverick stepped in, scowling at the group. "I don't like this one bit." he growled and studied the Links around him. "Not one bit." A final flash of light dumped the future Hyrulian Link onto the floor.
"Ow. Stupid storm." he grumbled and got up, looking around, "What the?! There's a lot of Heroes! But the stories said only one Hero saved the kingdom and vanished!" he exclaimed.
"Okay, I'm getting pissed off the longer I'm without an explanation." Gallera Link growled, "Either somebody tells me what the hell's going on, or everyone's arrested for kidnapping a Cataclysm officer!"
"That won't be necessary." the Watcher remarked as he stepped in to study his team. The Links looked at him and blinked. The Watcher looked like them! A Link with platinum colored hair and silver robes, surrounded by a faint white aura.
"We're dead, right?" Gallera Link muttered, "I got killed by those damn Skulltulas in the mansion, right?"
"You're not dead." the Watcher replied, "I brought you all here because your worlds have been sabotaged. You are going to have to fix them." He walked over to the Hyrulian Link. "Link, your world has the King going mad. Soon, he will insist that you and Zelda be killed as traitors, thus destroying your timeline." Link blinked and looked horrified. Watcher turned to the Gallera Link. "The Skulltulas have gained intelligence. Had you pursued the investigation, you would have been killed and nothing would stop their invasion. Your city would be cursed in a matter of hours." Gallera Link curled a lip and leaned against a wall, glaring at him. Watcher looked at the Allstar Twins. "Link, on the way to getting your car, you and your twin would have been ambushed by a Nintendo Hunter, an assassin that was supposed to no longer exist. The two of you would have been killed and the Super Link transformation would have been lost forever."
"Hey, that's classified information!" Allstar Link snapped, "How did you get into Nintendo's database to get that info?!" The Watcher ignored him and looked at Maverick.
"The Nintendo Twins are using spells they swore they'd never use, and will eventually bring about their own destruction. You should have died in that battle, but I managed to save you." he told him. Maverick snorted.
"Should have let me die." he hissed coldly, "My life is nothing but war and death and destruction."
"Wind Waker, Hero of Winds and Time." the Watcher turned to the last Link, "The storm you were in was caused by a curse in your world. It will destroy New Hyrule. It would have killed you, too, had I not interfered."
"Wait, I'm the Hero of Time!" Hyrulian Link exclaimed, "And what's this about New Hyrule?!"
"You're all from different worlds and times." the Watcher explained, "My name is Zero Damagaus and I'm in charge of watching over you all from this, the Zero Dimension. My rival, Quinta, has sabotaged your worlds and you must repair them or your worlds will be destroyed forever."
"Why us? Why can't you fix them?" Dark Link asked, "I knew my visions were right!"
"If I add my power to whatever is already there, I may do more harm than good. Each world has a figurine, a toy, rather, that is causing the disturbance. You have to find it and destroy it." Zero replied.
"Wreck a Barbie doll? That's it?" Gallera Link retorted, "That's not so hard."
"On the contrary. Each doll has a weakness that can be exploited by one of you heroes. It may not be by the hero of that time and world so another one has to destroy it." Zero corrected.
"Which means what?" Allstar Link asked. Zero sighed and shrugged helplessly.
"All of you will have to go into each other's worlds together." he answered. The Links all looked at each other in shock and disbelief. Dark Link folded his arms on his chest and frowned.
"They're not all fitting in my Jaguar." he growled.
