Everyone landed their arwings on to the grassy field and immediately got out. They all couldn't help but smile at the landscape that laid out beyond them, remembering the times they either use to play Ocarina of Time or actually visited the land themselves. Tons of great and fun memories flashed back to them, making them wish they were back in the past.
"YES! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, YOU GUYS WE'RE ACTUALLY HERE! THE MOST ICONIC PLACE TO EVER EXIST IN VIDEO GAMES! SOMEBODY PINCH ME, I MUST BE DREAMING!" Toad hyperactively squealed.
"How about I punch you instead!?" Wendy threatened while cracking her knuckles.
"Who would've thought the ancients put the gem in the land of Hyrule of all the places in the universe? Well, I guess I can't be too shocked, it IS too amazing to just discard. The Zelda games are life!" Goombario cheered.
"I've played Ocarina of Time before and I absolutely hated it. It was possibly the worst game I have ever played in my life and I have no desire to go back to it nor play any other of those overly praised so called 'adventure' games," Parakarry scowled. Everyone else groaned and smacked their foreheads at his annoyingness.
"God, I wanna fucking murder you," Kazooie growled. Banjo held on to her tight just in case she were to do something dangerous.
"Now guys, I understand that it must be exciting to be in this mystical land of awesomness, but remember, we have a duty to do, so let's get a move on right now so we can get this overwith," Daisy instructed.
"Okay, but where should we go first? Gerudo Valley or Castle Town and try to find Zelda or Link?" Diddy asked.
"We should definitely find Zelda first. Well, that's assuming if she's alright of course. If she is, then she could explain to us what exactly is going and give us an idea of what we're getting ourselves into," Birdo answered.
"WAIT, WHAT ABOUT LINK THOUGH!? I WANNA SEE HIM AND TOUCH HIS SHINY GOLDEN HAIR! I BET ALL OF YOU THAT IT'S AS SMOOTH AS A SILKY PILLOW!" Bombette cried.
Birdo rolled her eyes. "Fine, we can ask Zelda where Link is and if there's enough time, then we can get him. Who knows, he may be of great use on this mission..."
"Alright, let's get going! I really wanna go see Zel- I mean, uhh...the Temple of Time!" Wario cheered and waddled ahead of the group. Everyone followed after him.
"Yoshi, get me on to your back! This grass is staining my nice and comfy shorts and it's quite hot out here so Watt and Vivian, I'm gonna need you two to find something large and fan me," Kooper demanded. Yoshi sighed and put Kooper on his back.
"WHAT!? Yoshi, what the hell are you doing!? Don't listen to him! He can walk by himself just fine, he's just being a lazy ass!" Birdo yelled.
"Um, for your information, my legs are not only wounded but also paralyzed from that move that electric rat did back in Pokemon Land! You're just jealous because you've never ridden on Yoshi before!" Kooper yelled.
"Oh, honey, I have ridden on him PLENTY of times. Wait a second...oh god, that sounds so wrong..." Birdo gagged.
"Um, Kooper? I don't really see anything out here that can be used as a fan...it's pretty much a wasteland..." Vivian nervously spoke.
"Fine. Flurrie! Get over here and use your 70 miles per hour wind ability to cool me down! I'm starting to sweat like a barbecued squirrel!" Kooper snapped.
"Will do, dearie. But I must ask that you put this lotion on my back in return as I remember falling onto the grass back in Olly Vine City, or whatever that dreadful sounding city name was, and I believe I fell onto some poison ivy," Flurrie said while she got out a tube of lotion that she has kept hidden in her pockets for who knows why and who knows how long. Kooper saw that her back was all red and pimply and almost gagged at the sight.
"Uhh...no thanks...I think I'd rather eat dirt," He said.
"Just give it up, Kooper. Your legs are fine and you're totally overexaggerating your condition. This is making you become a complete jackass, you know!" Bombette said.
"Did you not just hear me a minute ago? I said my legs are PARALYZED. Do I have to tell you the definition too?" Kooper asked in frustration.
"Oh, really? So if I were to bite your legs then you shouldn't feel any pain at all then," Goombario said and did indeed bite into his legs. Kooper let out a shrill and covered his mouth when he realized what he did.
"Yep, FAKER! If he was truly paralyzed, he would not be able to feel external pain," Goombario smirked.
"I knew it from the very start that he was faking! In fact, I knew it before all of you did I just didn't say anything because...um...I felt like it!" Watt yelled and pushed Kooper off of Yoshi.
"Yeah, okay, and I'm Spyro the Dragon's imaginary brother," Parakarry said in sarcasm.
"Hmph. Well, looks like I've been played then. Don't ask any more favors from me, you condescending biatch!" Yoshi grunted and walked off with the others.
"W-WAIT! NO! I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO BE ALL DEMANDING AND OUT OF CHARACTER WITH MY USUAL BORING PERSONALITY! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS TO ME! THERE'S ROCKS IN MY SHOES AND I WOULD FEEL VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WALKING IN THEM! OW! I THINK A MOSQUITO JUST STUNG ME...AND I'M ALLERGIC TO MOSQUITOS! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Kooper wildly screamed and ran all over the place.
Goombella tapped Goombario on the shoulder. "Hey Goombario...that was pretty smart of you back there. You know, outing that jerk like that."
The braniac shrugged. "He's my friend, but he doesn't get a free pass for lying though. I'm pretty sure all of us here would rather have his blandness come back rather than deal with his douchebagginess."
"Heh, yeah, I know I do. Also...I saw the way you saved Vivian back in Olivine. That was incredibly brave of you and, like, totally unexpected. You weren't the jerk I thought you were..." Goombella smiled.
"Thank you. And, um, sorry for acting like a sexist moron back there too, I was being super immature about everything," Goombario smiled back.
"Don't worry about it...but if you ever do something like that again, I'm ripping your teeth out!" Goombella laughed.
"Hey, Rosalina...do you wanna, um, hold hands while we walk?" Waluigi asked.
"Oh! You wanna...do THAT? But...err...why?" Rosalina awkwardly responded.
"I, er, don't know...isn't that what all couples do?" Waluigi shrugged.
"Oh yeah, you're right, they do. But...when everyone called me out on my magic...I thought you were part of the group that despised me...I don't think I've ever felt so awkward around people I know before," Rosalina replied.
"No no no! Rosalina, when that happened, I just didn't know what to say or do. Literally so much was happening at that point that my head was aching and I was spacing out. Don't pay attention to what they said to you, I'm sure you would never intentionally screw us over and I respect your decisions on using your powers in moderation," Waluigi said.
Rosalina smiled a little and looked into his eyes. "Thank you. It's good to know that I have at least someone sticking by me after all that drama..." She then grabbed his hand and immediately all the tension went away and Rosalina felt much more comfortable.
DK witnessed all this not too far behind and gave a little scowl. "I don't believe...they're official! I never thought for one second Rosalina would actually get into a relationship with a guy like that! I just...ERGH!"
"I thought you said you knew you couldn't be with Rosalina? Why are you so pissy for?" Toadette said.
"I KNOW I said that, but her with Waluigi is just so...odd. Their personalities don't mesh well together. I give them 24 hours tops," DK replied.
"Just let it go, man. Those two are together and there's nothing you can do about it now. It's just the way life works sometimes..." Toadette preached.
"Hey big boy, you wanna makeout so we can make those two clowns jealous?" Bombette asked then winked.
"Um...no thanks. I'm just gonna...move far away from you right now..." DK responded in disgust and sped off.
"WHAT!? But why? What did I do wrong!? How could you abandon me like this, DK!? I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU! WE WERE ROOTING FOR YOU, WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU! HOW DARE YOU!" Bombette exploded.
"Girl, you've got issues," Toadette said.
"Wow! It sure is beautiful here! The weather is nice, the sun is shining bright, the land is beautiful...I feel like I could just lay down here and take a nice, long rest!" Fire Bro cheered.
Dixie sighed at the happy fellow. It just wasn't the same with his new personality.
"Is something wrong, Dixie? You look a bit worried," Diddy pointed out.
"Oh! Um...okay, I have to admit something. It's about Fire Bro. This is going to sound strange but, I actually think I prefer his old personality to the new one. It seemed more real, you know?" Dixie confessed.
"Eh? You really liked the old Fire Bro better? Do I have to remind you that this is the same guy who puts everyone, including himself, in danger the majority of the time? Not to mention the fact that he was pretty annoying! I'm glad he's 'normal' now, it will make this journey a bit easier," Diddy said in surprise.
"What IS normal, though? No offense, but you sounded pretty judgemental right there. Back at Luigi's Mansion, me and him had a pretty deep conversation and he told me the reason why he acted so silly. I knew where he was coming from and that was the point where I accepted him for who he was. He also understood me too..." Dixie dramatically stated.
"Why are you getting so riled up about this? You have to admit that his insanity gets on all of our nerves every now and then! I know the dude has probably had a rough past, but there's only so much that we can take of it. Wait a second...are you...falling in love with him!?" Diddy gasped.
"NO! NEVER! I wouldn't do that to you! It's just that me and him bonded a little before you joined the crew and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Nothing more to it!" The monkey gal pouted a little and crossed her arms.
"Hey dad! I have a question to ask you. And, um, promise not to laugh?" Bowser Jr. shyly asked.
"As long as it's not about coconut water, then ask away!" Bowser growled.
"Uhh, okay? So, um, I have a crush on this girl who is in our group and I was wondering something, do you think I should let her know that I like her? It's been on my mind ever since we left the previous world and I just wanna know what to do!" Bowser Jr. explained.
"WOAH! YOU LIKE A GIRL!? HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD ME THIS!? GIVE ME ALL THE DETAILS RIGHT NOW IN FULL AND EXACT DESCRIPTION!" Larry yelled in excitement.
"SHHHHHH! Keep your voice down or else I'll pluck out that nasty blue hair you got!" Bowser Jr. said.
"Well son, not to sound rude or anything, but you really shouldn't be focusing on that right now considering we've got bigger things at hand here. Besides, I doubt that this girl you're crushing on is the right type for you. I don't have to remind you of the time that you constantly asked out Tiny Kong despite being rejected over 10 times, do I?" Bowser scowled.
The poor koopa boy sighed. "...No, you don't. I just wanna know what it feels like to be with someone though! I mean, if the world may possible end, then I might as well start now, right?"
"Oh, give it a rest, you love sick bonehead. Relationships are incredibly overrated and being in one will just make you weak and foolish. That's why I don't need a man to satisfy my needs!" Wendy ranted.
"That's because no man would ever want you!" Jojora shouted from afar.
"BITCH, COME OVER HERE AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE!" Wendy retorted.
"Speaking of 'love', I think I should admit something to you Bowser...it has to do with Pauline and Mario..." Kammy said.
"UGH! Just hearing those names makes me wanna rip my horns out! Save it for later Kammy, I'm not in the mood to hear anything related to those two idiots!" Bowser yelled and walked further up ahead.
"Right...of course...my apologies..." Kammy sighed.
"Pauline, you are the light of my beautiful life. I could never let you go, you're my brightest morning star," Mario said poetically and kissed her on the cheeck.
"Ugh, just stop it, Mario. I'm not in the mood right now," Pauline brushed him away.
"What's wrong? Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?" Mario asked.
"It's just that...nevermind. Forget it. Let's just keep walking," The queen bee rolled her eyes, staying at the back of the group so no one would make faces at her.
Peach turned her head around to see Mario and Pauline walking next to each other. She made a scowl, turned back, and walked faster to Rosalina.
"Hello Rosalina, how are you doing?" She asked in an odd manner.
"Um, just fine, thank you. Is everything alright Peach? Do you need something?" Rosalina asked.
"Nope, I think I'm just gonna stick by you for a while. You're the only person that I currently trust at this point," Peach revealed.
"Really? Well...that's good to know yet another person hasn't tossed me aside. I'm so glad that I have you and Waluigi as my close friends. And Peach...I'm so sorry that Mario cheated on you. Even I couldn't see it coming..." Rosalina said.
"Yes, I can feel the girl's pain from a mile away! You know a good way to release your emotions? SINGING!" Lady SaSa interrupted.
"Oh, you have gotta be kidding me!" Toad groaned.
"Come on ladies! Let's show those players that they don't mess around with strong independent women like us!" Lady SaSa cheered. Suddenly, retro, upbeat, pop-rock music started playing and the singer started to dance.
"This deranged chick is serious, isn't she?" Wario sighed.
LADY SASA:
I stayed up all night, went for hours without sleep waiting for you, good grief! Ay!
PEACH:
It doesn't mean a thing! I've had enough and decided to kick you out! Hmmm.
DIXIE:
Hey, the Honky Tonk love is just a complete waste of our time.
TOADETTE:
So don't even think of telling me that little repeated lie 'I love you'.
GOOMBELLA:
So, blow him away!
ALL THE GIRLS:
My oh my oh my oh my!
MONA:
You're nothing but a dirty trouble maker!
ALL THE GIRLS:
Liar, liar, liar, liar!
ROSALINA:
This is now no longer your home! My oh my oh my oh myyyyyy! My oh my oh my oh my!
DAISY:
Dancing in the rain, so happy now that I have destroyed your ugly piano!
BIRDO:
You ain't gonna fool me twice!
LADY SASA:
AIN'T GONNA FOOL ME TWICE!
WENDY:
You're an entertainer who's desperate for affection, oh, woah.
FLURRIE:
Even the Primadonna isn't as pretentious as yourself, yeah.
VIVIAN:
Yeah, and there is no second chance for you to start over again.
BOMBETTE:
Get ready for an explosion, yeah!
ALL THE GIRLS:
My oh my oh my oh my!
WATT:
You're nothing but a dirty trouble maker!
ALL THE GIRLS:
Liar, liar, liar, liar!
KAZOOIE:
I wouldn't go back to you even for a million dimes!
LADY SASA:
My oh my oh my oh myyyyy! My oh my oh my oh my!
AMY:
Oh, oh father father! Oh, hey God, what should I do right now?
JOJORA:
Oh, I had loved so much, but it was not returned, oh.
ALL:
My oh my oh my oh my!
PEACH:
I don't ever wanna see your nasty face again, heeeeyyyyyyy!
ALL:
My oh my oh my oh my!
GOOMBELLA:
You're nothing but a dirty trouble maker!
LADY SASA:
HEEEEEEYYYYYYY TROUBLE MAKER WOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
ALL:
Liar, liar, liar, liar!
BOMBETTE:
This is now no longer your home!
LADY SASA:
IT ALL BELONGS TO MY THREE CATS AND MY PET COBRA NOW!
ALL:
My oh my oh my oh my!
BIRDO:
I've burnt the rest of your stuff without leaving a trace!
ALL:
Fire, fire, fire, fire!
DAISY:
That's obviously a crime, but right now, I don't give a damn! My oh my oh my oh myyyyy! My oh my oh my oh my!
Mario stood there, feeling the most awkward he's ever been in a long time.
"Wooooow! You guys definitely showed him!" Goombario rolled his eyes.
Before anything else could be said, a howling noise was heard which freaked everyone out. Then, they all realized it was night time.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!? IT WAS DAYTIME JUST TWO MINUTES AGO!" Jojora screamed.
"Oh my gosh, the time mechanics work the same like they do in the video game! A day on Hyrule Field is only like 5 minutes and the same with night! I'M A GENIUS!" Charmy said.
"Only in your dreams, wasp kid," Wendy commented.
"SWEET! Even the time works the exact same way! This is like a video gamer's dream come true! I AM IN HEAVEN!" Toad yelped while dancing around.
"NO, NOT SWEET! At night on Hyrule Field, these creepy skeleton people come out of the ground and try to attack you! Oddly enough, they just slash and not bite you, which is very un-zombie like," Banjo noted.
"AAAHHHHHHH, OH MY GOD! I SEE ONE OF THEM RIGHT NOW! ATTACK IT, LARRY!" Watt shrilled and threw Larry a few feet away.
"OW! Watt, you idiot, that was just a flower! GEEZ!" Larry replied.
"Here they come!" Amy yelled and pointed to behind everyone else. They all turned and screamed when they saw an army of Stalchildren coming right at them.
"OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHAT ON EARTH SHALL WE DO!? THERE IS NO POSSIBLY WAY WE CAN DEFEAT THEM ALL UNLESS WE SUMMON THE FIRE GODDESS AND HAVE HER INCINERATE THIS POORLY KEPT LAND!" Flurrie overdramatically yelled.
"Exactly! Where the hell is the Din's Fire item when we need it!?" Toad cried.
"Did you guys forget the fact that I can breathe fire? Sheesh, I know you all hate me, but come on, I'm not THAT forgettable!" Bowser grumbled then walked to the front of the group. He heavily inhaled and was about to exhale until a bunch of Stalchildren jumped on him which made the koopa king shriek and fall over.
"QUICK EVERYONE! START SCREAMING AND RUN ALL OVER THE PLACE, MAYBE IT WILL CONFUSE THE BONEY CREATURES AND THEY'LL DISAPPEAR!" Yoshi screeched and started running around...only to accidentally run into the Stalchildren mob.
"We have no choice but to attack them all! There's no way all of us will be able to outrun them!" Daisy ordered.
"Fine then. CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGE!" Charmy yelled and the entire group clashed into the army.
"BAM! You're dust, bitch! You too you little troll! Oh, and there's another one! Mwee hee hee hee!" Kammy laughed as she dusted a few Stalchildren with her wand.
"Wario, I'm gonna use you as a shield, okay? Your obese body is big enough to protect an innocent boy like me from harm!" Toad yelled.
"DID YOU JUST CALL ME OBESE!? GRRRRRR, GET YOUR OWN SHIELD YOU SWINE!" Wario roared, picked up Toad, then threw him into the mob.
"What are you so angry for, Wario? I mean...did Toad lie?" Wendy smirked. Wario also picked her up and threw her in the mob.
"OW! STOP HITTING ME ALREADY! LEAVE ME ALONE YOU JERKS! THIS IS TOTALLY NOT FUNNY AT ALL!" Jojora wailed as a bunch of Stalchildren kept throwing bones at her.
Mona kicked a Stalchild with all her power and broke him into pieces. "Ugh! There is no end to these freaks! We need some type of huge explosion NOW!"
"Quick Bombette, sacrifice yourself for the good of the team! I promise we'll hold a huge memorial for you!" Bowser Jr. said.
"What do I look like, a kamikaze!? HELL NO! I am not getting in middle of that undead mess!" Bombette objected.
"I don't know what you guys are freaking out for. Time goes by fast in Hyrule Field so we just need to wait another minute or two," Parakarry said, not doing anything at all to help.
"Easy for you to say, you can fly! TAKE THIS!" Yoshi yelled and threw a Stalchild at the mailman. He screamed bloody murder as the enemy pounced on him repeatedly.
"YOWCH! MY HAIR IS GETTING MESSY!" Daisy cried as a Stalchild repeatedly tugged on her hair. She managed to break free and bitch slapped him in the face. The stalchild bitch slapped right back and before they knew it, they were getting into an ultimate smack-a-thon.
"Are any of you guys related to Dry Bones? Because all of you sure look like him! Or...are you the alternate universe clones of Dry Bones? Does that even make any sense? Does this world we're in right now even make any sense!? WHY CAN'T SOMEONE TELL ME AN ANSWER!?" Toadette freaked out and began to sob.
"Wahoo, yeah! This is so much fun! It's always been my dream to fight the army of the undead!" Charmy cheered as he tossed the Stalchildren all over the place like they were a bunch of ragdolls, also spreading around their body parts, making for a very disturbing scene.
A rooster sound was heard and the sky started to brighten. All the stalchildren disappeared into the ground, giving everyone some relief.
"Ugh, I HATE dead things," Waluigi complained.
"Wario, you bastard! You could've killed me! Or at the very atleast have scratches all over my flawless body!" Wendy yelled.
"Sweetie, there ain't NOTHING that's even remotely flawless about your body," Birdo winked.
"Speaking of that, um...heh heh, bald is NOT a good look for you!" DK chuckled.
Wendy raised an eyebrow and then felt the top of her head. She gasped. "MY BOW! IT FELL OFF ME! I TOOK A VOW TO NEVER LET ANYONE SEE ME WITHOUT IT! WAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" She then ran off to find it while crying.
"Sometimes I wonder if she really IS my sister..." Larry said.
"Hey look! The bridge to Castle Town is open! Come on, let's hurry up and see Zelda!" Luigi said. The group quickly ran forward, finally hoping to get this mission on the go.
The gang arrived into town and immediately saw a group of people at the left part of town yelling about while a few other people who looked quite important were standing upon some sort of small stage, trying to calm the citizens down, and one of those important people was Princess Zelda.
"OOH! I SEE ZELDA! I wonder if she still uses that strawberry hair conditioner? Because it smelled soooo good before!" Yoshi squealed.
"I wonder what's going on there? By the sounds of those people, it seems pretty bad. Maybe it has something to do with whatever is going on in Gerudo Valley?" Diddy guessed.
Zelda looked away from the crowd for a second and saw the heros standing far behind which made her gasp and widen her eyes as she quickly recognized some of them. She excused herself then ran off the stage and towards the gang.
"Oh my goodness! What on earth are you guys doing here!?" The princess asked with a laugh and hugged Daisy.
"Zelda, you have no idea how glad we are to see you! Things have been pretty screwed up lately for all of us so we're relieved to find you so quick," Daisy said.
"Oh? What has been going with you guys?" Zelda asked in concern.
"To put it short, our world is at risk of being taken over by a purple midget alien. He's already destroyed Mushroom City and is now on an island with an army that's surrounded by a barrier. Apparently, the only way to get through this barrier is the Crystal Star Rod and we can use to easily defeat Tatanga, who is the said midget purple alien. But in order to get this Crystal Star Rod we have to collect 9 gems and one of them is suppose to be here," DK explained.
Zelda widened her eyes again, simply shocked at how things are looking a lot more glum than in her world and also shocked that yet another enemy threatens to do world domination.
"Oh...my...I...I don't even know what to say. I'm so sorry you guys...I can't believe you have to deal with this all over again..." The princess said in sympathy.
"We'll be okay...I think. But Zelda, we need to know if you know anything about a gem that's supposedly located in the Spirit Temple. We also like to know about why there have been attacks in Gerudo Valley," Luigi informed.
"Oh! You know about the attacks? Well...for the gem, I can't say that I've heard of such a thing...but as for the attacks...that's what everyone over there is rioting about. The majority of Gerudo Fortress has been destroyed, causing all the unharmed Gerudos to flee over here. They've been here for two days now and apparently, the citizens still have a problem with it so now they're all complaining," Zelda sighed.
"Do you know what caused the attacks? Also, where is Link at? Is he dealing with this supposed monster?" Rosalina asked.
"Based on reports and eyewitness accounts, I believe I have an idea of what it could be. As for Link, he actually DID go into Gerudo Valley to hopefully stop this thing," Zelda answered.
"Oh, okay then. Is he still there or was it too dangerous for him to stay?" Toad asked.
"Well...that's the thing. Link went in there two days ago and he hasn't been back since," Zelda confessed.
Dimentio stood before the looming Spirit Temple, amazed at its grandness.
"Well well well, such a beautiful and mystical place we have right here! Yes...just like a gracious butterfly, I am astounded by its beauty! But no more time for that now, I have a gem to find!" The jester said and quickly headed on in.
"Hmm hmm, yes, just as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside. But where shall I start? It could be anywhere..." Dimentio pondered out loud. He then heard some kind of vicious roar in the distance that made him jump.
"WHAT THE!? Uh...what on earth was that very odd noise!? It sounded like a dragon! I believe it came from the left..." Dimentio said and walked to the left wall. All that was there was a crawl space that led forward.
"Well, no risk means no reward. Besides, I can't imagine anything in this place being TOO scary..." The jester then went into the crawl space. It was a very tight squeeze which made him panic a bit. Even though he didn't want to admit it to himself, he WAS a bit nervous since he had no idea what to expect.
After about another minute of crawling, the jester got out of the crawl space and stood up, relieved to be out of there.
"Hahaha! That wasn't so bad! Now then...where shall I go...wait...what is...who are you? What are you...AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! GET AWAY FROM MEEEEEEEEE!"
EOC.
Next chapter will have Zelda explain what this 'monster' likely is, however, things start to not add up when Impa and the guards tell them different sides of the story...
