Agahnim and Cia have brought the princesses to their master as he grinned.

"As you requested, my lord," Agahnim said.

"Excellent, Agahnim. I knew I could rely on you," Ganondorf said.

"Thank you, my liege," Agahnim said.

"We're glad to see that you are pleased," Cia said.

"Yes. I can only surmise that Volga has failed to dispose of the intruders, Cia," Ganondorf said.

"I am certain he may have slowed them down as we speak, my lord," Cia said.

"Indeed. His loyal sacrifice will not be in vain. They shall make it to the throne room to rescue them, and that is where you shall come in, Cia," Ganondorf said.

"I am willing to stop them in their tracks, lord Ganondorf," Cia said.

"Oh, I know, my dear. As for you, Agahnim, I am leaving you in charge in my absence. I will be taking the two princesses with me and continue the search for the remaining four," Ganondorf said.

"As you command, Lord Ganondorf. And I thank you for this chance," Agahnim said.

Ganondorf vanishes into the darkness as he laughed. The princesses vanished as well. He arrives on Bowser's airship filled with several yellow-skinned turtle-like creatures. Their shells are red, green, yellow, and blue, and they all wore shoes matching the color of their shells. They're known as Koopa Troopas. The Koopa Troopas took the princesses by the hands and dragged them to the brig. Among them is a turtle without a shell. He wears a pair of round spectacles and a set of blue robes, complete with a blue wizard's hat. Both the brim of his hat and the edges of his sleeves are white, though in earlier appearances the former were also blue. He is seen holding a scepter, which is a golden stick with a red jewel at the end. He is a Magikoopa and his name is Kamek.

Bowser and Giovanni walked up to greet him.

"Good of you to join us, Ganondorf. We were about to take off," Bowser said.

"Yes, we have an important engagement to attend to," Ganondorf said.

"Set a course for Hollow Bastian!" Bowser ordered.

The Koopa Troopas complied with their king and sets a course for Hollow Bastian.

We have a look at an airship with Bowser's face on the front. A portal opens and it flies right through.

Back in Ganondorf's castle, Sora, Kairi, Link, Linkle, Impa, Lana, Pikachu, and Angel made it down to the dungeon after being chased by some rocks being fired by Octoroks.

"We should take them all out," Impa said.

"And end up being buried under a pile of rubble in the process," Sora said.

"He's right, we need to think of a plan, something to catch Ganondorf by surprise," Lana said.

"Yeah, but what?" Linkle asked.

"I'm open for just about anything at this point," Kairi said.

"Is someone out there?" A girl's asked from somewhere in the dungeon.

"Who's there?" Link asked.

"Help me, whoever you are," the voice said.

"Where are you?" Sora asked. An arm waved to the group.

"Over here!" The girl said. They raced to the door and she pulled her arm back in. They looked inside. They saw it was one of the captives.

"Who are you?" Sora asked.

"My name is Ruto, I am the Princess of the Zora. I was captured and brought here against my will! Please, you have to help me!" Ruto said.

"Don't worry, we'll let you out," Kairi assured the Zora Princess.

"We're gonna need a key," Linkle said.

"We've got one," Kairi said, summoning her Keyblade. A beam of light shoots from her Destiny's Embrace and a locking sound is heard. She opened the door. "You're free now, your highness."

"Thank you," Ruto said.

"Just what happened to you and how did you end being captured?" Link asked.

"Well, it started out so peaceful, but that peace was shattered when a horde of strange monsters came into my kingdom and attacked. The Zora warriors fought hard, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the creatures. I don't what they were or where they came from. But a band of Hylians wearing strange black clothing were commanding the creatures. I tried to escape, but they found me and they brought me here. I wasn't the only one brought here. They also captured the Twili Princess as well, along with several other maidens," Ruto explained.

"Are they all here with you?" Linkle asked.

"Yes. In the dungeons in separate cells," Ruto said.

"Okay. Also, you mentioned some Hylians wearing black were leading those monsters. Did they have something on their clothes like this?" Sora asked, drawing an R in the dirt.

"Yes, they did," Ruto said.

"I knew it! Team Rocket!" Sora growled.

"Chu," Pikachu also growled.

"Team Rocket?" Ruto asked.

"There's no time to explain. We'll have to save the others," Kairi said.

"She's right. The others needs to be let out," Lana said.

"If anyone wants out of here, now's a good time!" Sora said. He unlocked a door. Inside is a pale-skinned and has long curly blonde hair with twirling locks in front of her round ears. For clothing wears a white flower on the left side of her hair, indigo earrings on her ears, a lovely sleeveless and strapless regal dress complete with an orange top with white spiked laces at the top, with a pale purple bell with light pink frills and wears elbow-length white gloves.

Kairi came across a young beautiful girl with long red hair with a hibiscus flower on her hair and brown eyes. She wears a short sleeves blue dress with a pink sash, a red pendant, and brown sandals.

Several other girls and young women got out of the cells.

"Thank you so much! You have my thanks! I am Princess Styla," the princess said.

"And I'm Marin," the other girl said.

"Let me guess, you were brought here against your will by some monsters and some guys wearing black pajamas," Sora said.

"How did you guess?" Styla asked.

"I just had to think really hard," Sora said.

"But it seemed rather obvious to you, didn't it?" Cia asked as she appeared before them.

"Cia," Impa growled.

"How nice of you to come. I was wondering where you rats were hiding, but I should have known you would save the girls that we've captured. Then again, they're no longer any use to us anyway," Cia said.

"Well, how about you deal with us, Cia?" Sora asked, holding his Keyblade.

"Hold it," Lana spoke up, walking up to Cia. "I can handle her, Sora."

"You sure?" Sora asked.

"I am. Cia and I have some catching up to do," Lana said.

"How do you know her?" Kairi asked.

"I'll be glad to answer for her. Lana and I were once one being until we were split into two. Lana is on the path for light and I am on the path of darkness," Cia said.

The group were almost dumbfounded by what she just said.

"One being?" Kairi asked.

"What she says is true. Cia and I were literally one and the same. We both became different people when were separated. This has gone on long enough, Cia. I want you back, and we can be sisters," Lana said.

"I don't need the likes of you, White Sorceress. I am more powerful than you can ever hope to be. You have no chance of fighting me," Cia said.

"I can try, Cia," Lana said.

"You are welcome to try," Cia said, holding out her hand. Dark energy surrounds her as a rod with a purple crystal at the top. She creates a strong wind which blew Sora away, but Kairi remains. Cia creates a barrier, trapping the three of them in it. Sora bangs on the barrier.

"Kairi!" Sora exclaimed.

"Eevee!" Angel said.

"Pika!" Pikachu said.

"Kairi," Lana said.

"I'm right beside you, Lana," Kairi said. Lana nodded as she brought out a spellbook and it close.

"You two shall perish together!" Cia said. The scepter is also a whip, so she sends it out at Kairi which Lana casts a spell which reflects it. Kairi came at her and swung at Cia who dodges. Cia uses her scepter to block her assault. Kairi kept on swinging and Cia kept on blocking. "You look tired. You need to rest."

"After I deal with you, you witch," Kairi said. Cia pushes her back and she casts a dark spell at her, but Kairi casts her reflect spell, making it bounce off. Lana casts a light spell and Cia dodges and sends the whip at her, but Lana dodges it.

"Come out!" Cia shouted as she summons several Dark Balls and Defenders and casts a dark spell, creating a pillar. Kairi slayed the Darkballs. The Defenders proved difficult for her due to their shields, but Lana helped her out with them. Kairi managed to slay the Defenders by getting from behind. The two girls then sets their attentions back to the Dark Sorceress as she grinned and unleashed a beam of darkness. Lana and Kairi ran across as Lana then casts one more spell, hitting her.

"You give up, Cia?" Lana asked.

"Never!" Cia exclaimed, sending Lana flying with her magic. Kairi came at her and she casts her fire, blizzard, thunder, water, balloon and stone spells at her, but they turn out to be more than she could handle.

"Lana, now!" Kairi said. Cia turned to see Lana who casts a powerful spell, hitting Cia hard. The barrier dissolves as Sora, Pikachu, and Angel ran up to Kairi.

"You okay, Kairi?" Sora asked.

"I'm fine. Took a lot out of me," Kairi said. Lana walked up to Cia who just looked up to her.

"Well, you might as well just finish me off, Lana. I am willing to die for my master," Cia said. She shuts her eyes, waiting for her end; but instead, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her body and felt another against hers. She opened her eyes and saw Lana hugging her.

"I don't want to lose you, Cia. Like it or not, you're my sister and nothing will change that," Lana said.

"You're a fool. We're different to the core! I am darkness and you are light!" Cia said.

"That is why we need each other, Cia. Light and darkness go hand-to-hand. One can't be without the other. Light and darkness are two halves of everything. You need me just as I need you," Lana said.

"No, you're wrong! I never needed you!" Cia argued.

"Stop lying to yourself, Cia. You know it's true that we need each other. I never gave up on you, and I never will give on you. I don't care if you cast me away, because I'll always come back to you no matter what," Lana said.

"Lana," Cia said. She hugs Lana back.

"It's quite a sight, isn't it?" Linkle asked.

"It is," Kairi said.

"Eevee," Angel said.

Sora, Kairi, Link, Linkle, Impa, Pikachu, and Angel stepped out of the dungeon and started to make their way to the throne room. They eventually made it to the throne room and saw Agahnim standing there and he laughed.

"Welcome," Agahnim greeted. "I was beginning to think you weren't going to arrive."

"Is that Ganondorf?" Sora asked.

"No. That's Agahnim. He's Ganondorf's loyal wizard," Impa said.

"How unfortunate that Cia has failed to dispose of you. I shall deal with her after I have finished with you," Agahnim said.

"Where's Zelda?" Link asked.

"She and the Twili Princess are no longer here. They've left with Ganondorf, giving us three Princesses out of seven," Agahnim said.

"No, we're too late," Kairi said.

"Eevee," Angel said.

"You have been a great deal of annoyance to us, and annoyances cannot be tolerated. I will have the pleasure of destroying you before I find the Keyhole," Agahnim said.

"We won't go down easily," Link said.

"Oh, then I shall do it the hard way. Prepare to die!" Agahnim said, raising his hands, making two duplicates of himself. He and the duplicates laughed as they all spoke at once. "Which one is the real me?"

"He's toying with us," Linkle said.

"Agahnim wasn't going to make this easy, so we take him down and hard!" Impa said.

Sora and Kairi summoned their Keyblades as Link, Linkle, and Impa readied their weapons. Agahnim and the duplicates unleashed a barrage of magic spells at them. Link and Linkle ends up being struck by them.

"Stay back!" Agahnim shouted, casting a spell at Sora. He casts his reflect spell. Linkle fired her arrows, but the arrows when past the duplicates as she found it. The duplicate kept on moving around, casting spells, making harder for the group to land a hit.

"We gotta think fast. Which one is the real Agahnim?" Sora asked.

Agahnim has made several more duplicates of himself and surrounds Impa and casts a spell, hitting her. Impa screamed in pain, and fell on the ground, defeated. Agahnim and the duplicates laughed.

"It's useless to defeat me. You lost from the moment you challenged me, and now you will regret doing so," Agahnim said, conjuring a fireball and sends it at Link, but he reflects it with the Master Sword, going past another duplicate. Kairi ran up to Impa and held her Keyblade up in the air.

"Heal!" Kairi shouted. Impa's injuries disappears and she stood back up.

"Thank you," Impa said.

"You're welcome," Kairi said. Kairi and Impa charges at Agahnim and the duplicates. They cast a fire spell, filling the entire throne room. One of the Agahnims casts a shadow, so Kairi looked down. "Sora, Link! Only one of them has a shadow!" Sora and Link saw the shadow and they looked at each other. They nodded and they came at him. Sora struck him, causing the duplicates to vanish.

"You will pay for that, brat! I have had enough of your existence!" Agahnim said, summoning a sword and swung it at Sora, but he blocked it. He and Link gave Agahnim quite a sword fight. Agahnim has proven to be a formidable opponent as he clashed his sword with the Master Sword and the Kingdom Key. Agahnim tried to overpower them both, so Sora swung his Keyblade, hitting Agahnim hard. He dropped the sword only for Link to make the finishing blow by giving him a stab in the belly. Agahnim gasped as he fell to his knees. "The Master Sword. No wonder it is called the 'blade to evil's bane'. It is worthy of its legend."

"Where is Zelda?" Link asked. Agahnim laughed.

"You will never see her again. Lord Ganondorf is already searching for the remaining Princesses of Heart. And Ganondorf will rule all the worlds through evil and darkness. You will never stop him," Agahnim said as he died.

"That's what you think, Agahnim," Link said.

Meanwhile, Ganondorf, Giovanni, and Bowser have arrived to Hollow Bastian, and they watched Agahnim's demise.

"Well, it looks like your wiz blew it, Ganondorf. And he didn't even call the Heartless to back him up," Bowser said.

"Agahnim has served his purpose. There's no doubt they'll find the Keyhole to Hyrule and seal it," Ganondorf said.

"That just leaves several other worlds for us to take over," Giovanni said.

"When those kids locks up the Keyhole with those key doohickies, they'll go after the other ones," Bowser said.

"Agreed. But it will take them ages to find them all. By then, we would have already accomplished our goals," Ganondorf said, laughing.

After stepping out of the castle, they failed their mission to stop Ganondorf in his tracks, realizing that he was several steps ahead of them.

"Can't believe Ganondorf got away," Sora said.

"And the princess is gone, too," Link said.

"Now what do we do?" Linkle asked.

"The only thing to do is seal the Keyhole," Sora said.

"But the question is, where do we look?" Kairi asked.

"I can answer that," Cia said, stepping out. They turned to see her and Lana step out along with Ruto, Marin, and Styla. "The Keyhole is located in the Temple of the Triforce. Agahnim has found it before you took him out."

"What makes you think we can trust you after what you've done?" Linkle asked.

"I don't think anything, but that is the location. I'll lead the way if you don't believe me," Cia said.

Cia got on the back of a horse as the rest have gotten on horseback and rode off to the temple. They arrived to the temple.

"Is this it?" Kairi asked.

"It is," Lana said.

"One of you have to seal it," Cia said.

"You wanna have the honors, or should I?" Kairi asked.

"Why don't you seal this one?" Sora asked. Kairi nodded and sealed the Keyhole when it appeared before them. A locking sound is heard, knowing that Hyrule was safe from the Heartless. "Ganondorf might have gotten away, but that won't stop us from trying to find him."

"You're right, Sora. This has got to stop," Kairi said.

"Take me with you," Link said. "I want to make up for failing."

"Sorry, Link, we can't take you with us," Sora said.

"Why not?!" Link exclaimed.

"Don't take it the wrong way, but you're needed here, because Ganondorf might have left, but his monsters are still here and the people will need someone to protect them," Kairi said.

"Kairi's right, Link," Linkle agreed. "The people will need a hero to look after them in case Ganondorf's minions cause trouble without him calling the shots." Link grudgingly agreed with this.

"Okay, I'll leave this to the two of you," Link said.

"But we will find her, Link. I promise," Sora said.

"I have total confidence in you, Sora, Kairi. I trust you," Link said.

With that said, Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel boarded the Gummi ship and rode off towards space to see more worlds.

Once they left Hyrule's orbit, their ears no longer became pointed and they rode off to find more worlds to save from the Heartless. Who knows what will happen next? Find out when we continue onwards into adventure.
