The next day, Wario and Waluigi stole a weird gold triangle. Inscribed around the edges were the words "T®ø®ç´"
"I can read Hylian," said Waluigi. "It says 'Triforce'."
"What's a Triforce?"
"How should I know, stupid? It doesn't say!"
"Pick it up, Waluigi, so we can see what it does!"
Waluigi picked the Triforce up, and they were immediately whisked away into a dark room, standing on a platform and surrounded by people.
"What are they?" asked a green-haired girl.
"I don't know, Saria," said an older woman with sharp features.
"Let's kick them," said a weird rock-type creature.
"Shut up, Darunia," said Saria.
"Hey! Don't we get a say in this?" asked Waluigi, indignantly.
There was a collective gasp around the room.
"They talk!" exclaimed Darunia.
"Of course they do," said a girl in desert-type clothing. "They're humans with odd proportions."
"Let's throw them off the platform," said a fish girl.
"Wha-? No!" Wario stuttered.
"SILENCE!" said an old man.
Everyone looked at him.
"We should put them on the trial of the Sages."
Everyone agreed.
"So, let's begin!" he roared.
The temple dissolved into a courtroom. The Wario Bros. were seated in chairs, bound in chains.
"I am Rauru," the old man said. "How did you arrive?"
"Well, we found a triangular gold thing called a Triforce," Wario began, but was cut off by a roar from Darunia.
"THEY HAVE DEFILED THE SACRED TREASURE!" Darunia screamed.
"Be silent!" commanded Rauru. "We will hear them out."
"After we brought it home," Wario continued, "Waluigi picked it up to look at it. After he picked it up, we were transported here!"
"Hmm…This is interesting," Rauru said. "How did you find the Triforce?"
"We found it inside a sort of shrine thing," said Waluigi, nervously.
"A shrine? Did it have stone arches across the entranceway?" asked Rauru.
"Yep! It had Hylian all over the door, too!" exclaimed Waluigi.
"What did it say?" asked Rauru, his eyes narrowed.
"Well," said Waluigi, trying to remember. "It said He Who Disturbs the Triforce Will Be Tried By The Sages…oops…" Waluigi's eyes widened.
Wario groaned. "You idiot…" he muttered.
"THEY MUST PAY THE CONSEQUENCES!" roared Darunia.
"NO!" Rauru bellowed. Darunia fell silent.
"Now, tell me when you learned Hylian," Rauru asked Waluigi.
"Well, I'm not sure…I remember not making any sense of the letters on the door at the time…"
Suddenly, Wario gasped. He had the Triforce in his pocket! "Come on, Waluigi!" he yelled, and jammed the Triforce in Waluigi's hand.
"No! No! No!" cried Saria.
The Wario Bros. were whisked back into their house.
"I'm never going to steal again," said Wario, panting. He looked at Waluigi, and promptly burst out laughing. Tomorrow should be an interesting day, indeed.
