The heroes were transported from the haunted castle to the woods where it is a rather scary looking forest where there are skulls lying on the ground everywhere.
"Boy, this place is creeping me out." Ruto shivered.
"Heroes, this is the Forest of Light." White Maiden said.
"More like forest of darkness." King Dedede grumbled.
"Or rather, it once was. Now, the darkness grows deep, and the air stagnant." Navi pointed out.
"Oh boy, Vaati and Dark Meta Knight aren't trying anymore." Linkie shrieked not liking the darkness one bit.
"We have to do something or our world will be flooded in darkness!" Coo said.
"I wonder if some clues might reveal itself here." Red Toon Link spoke.
"The clue I know is it seems that many foul beasts are gathering here." Toon Link said.
"Looks like we're gonna have to vanquish those beast then!" Young Link smirked.
"Young Link always ready for action as usual." Tatl whispered to Tael.
"Totally. Right when he was fighting against Majora the evil mask." Tael whispered back.
"Um… What were you two talking about?" Skull Kid butted in making the fairies shriek.
"Nothing!" Tatl and Tael spoke simultaneously.
"Perphaps you all might be able to learn something from them." Zelda said.
"Yeah, but how?" Link asked.
"Just follow me." White Maiden said.
The heroes wandered around the dark lost woods filled with Buzz Blobs as one Buzz Blob lunged at Kirby only to be inhaled by Green Kirby gaining the Spark Ability.
As the Heroes walked they encountered several orange creatures that looked a lot like the Kirbies, but had no hands and feet were sleeping in the bushes.
"Guys, what ever we do stay quiet and don't wake up those Scarfies." Sword Knight warned.
"Why be afraid of those cute and cuddly creatures? They look so adorable and innocent." Aryll said in awe as she went to touch the Scarfies.
"Aryll don't tou-." Toon Link tried to warn her.
Unfortunately it was too late as soon as Aryll's hands touched the Scarfies, they immediately woke up and turned into their mutated form and glared evilly at Aryll.
"Uh-oh." Aryll gulped in terror.
The Scarfies attempted to pulverize and eat Aryll alive.
"Ahh! Help me! Big Brother!" Aryll cried as she thought it was the end of her.
"Get away from my sister, you monsters!" Toon Link shouted slashing at the Scarfies turning their attention to the heroes.
"Attack!" Zelda shouted out using her Phantom Slash on a few Scarfies that tried to bite her.
"YOWCH! IT BIT MY BUTT! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!" Red Toon Link yelped in pain trying to remove the Scarfy from his butt.
"Get off of Red, you one-eye warrior eating freak!" Blue Toon Link snarled whacking the Scarfy off of Red Toon Link, as Red Toon Link accidentally farted in Blue Toon Link's face.
"EWW! Red Toon Link that's disgusting!" Blue Toon Link gagged pinching his nose in disgust.
"That's what you get for farting in my face at Chapter 4 when I accidentally burned your butt Blue. But I'm grateful you saved me from the Scarfy." Red Toon Link cheered tackling Blue Toon Link on the ground in a hug.
"Wow. Didn't think you get even." Blue Toon Link smiled hugging Red back.
Green Kirby fired electric arrows at the Scarfies electrocuting them. More Scarfies showed up then lunged at Minda who used her dark magic at the Scarfies.
"Ugh! There's too many of them!" King Dedede groaned smashing every Scarfy that tried to bite him.
The Scarfies surrounded the Kirbies then attempted to eat them, only for the Kirbies to use their Spark Ability to zap the vicious Scarfies scaring them away.
"Man, that was crazy!" Linkie shrieked not liking the Scarfies.
"Aryll! Don't ever go near those Scarfies again! You could've been eaten alive!" Purple Toon Link scolded as Aryll looked down in shame.
"I'm sorry big brothers. I was only curious about those creatures." Aryll said sadly.
"It's alright Aryll. Please be careful next time." Purple Toon Link advised hugging Aryll along with the other Links.
Then the heroes went deeper into the forest fighting enemies like Waddle Doos, Sword Knights, Buzz Blobs, and Bubbles.
But suddenly a dark hand appeared from the ground grabbing at the heroes.
"Watch out, heroes! That's a Floormaster and they could drag you to the dark world where an army of monsters ambush you!" Zelda warned.
The heroes quickly ran to escape the Floormasters which are trying to pull them down.
"Gahh!" Green Kirby yelped as a Floormaster grabbed his foot. "Let go of me!"
"Hands off of my brother!" Kirby shouted sending a wave of electricity at the Floormaster making the menacing monster let go of Green Kirby.
"Thanks Kirby." Green Kirby said in graduate.
"You're welcome Green Kirby." Kirby said.
The Heroes collected Force Gems and while avoiding more Floormasters that tried to grab them.
Suddenly a bee hive fell off a tree and a swarm of angry bees came out of the hive much to the heroes terror.
"SWEET POPSTAR! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" Magolor screamed bloody murder as he and the heroes ran from the swarm that is chasing them.
"CRUD! THIS SWARM IS CATCHING UP TO US! WE NEED TO FIND A PLACE TO HIDE RIGHT NOW! I DON'T WANT TO END UP WITH BEE STINGS!" Linkie screeched.
The heroes managed to escape the angry bee swarm then took a breathe from running so much.
"Man. Huff. Puff. That was too close!" Sword Knight panted.
"Three more seconds and we've been goners!" Bandana Dee cried.
After a few minutes of rest the heroes went forward where a Big Gohma attacked them.
"Looks like we're gonna have to fight that big guy." Skull Kid remarked.
The Gohma fired fireballs at the heroes, which they avoid.
Link fired his arrows at the Big Gohma defeating it quickly.
"Well that wasn't a battle at all." Navi commented.
As the heroes moved forward into the lost woods they came across some local Deku Scrubs.
"I wonder what those Deku Scrubs are doing here?" Marx asked.
"Maybe they live here." Kirby answered.
Suddenly Shadow Link and Shadow Kirby appeared right before the Heroes eyes.
"Shadow Link and Shadow Kirby!" The heroes growled.
"Well it's good to see you guys again." Shadow Kirby grinned.
"Don't you clowns ever give up!?" Toon Link snarled.
"Why would we give up to a couple of meddlers like yourselves!?" Dark Toon Link taunted.
"Why don't you just scram before I make you!" Blue Toon Link threatened, Dark Toon Link just laughed.
"Oh please!" Dark Toon Link scoffed. "You're nothing compared to us! You may have defeated Big Poe and King Golem, but you so-called heroes aren't that tough!"
"That's what you think, Shadow Link! No matter what you two plan we still kick your butts!" Young Link mocked.
"Oh stay out of this, you alternated knockoff! You talk big, but you're softer than a teddy bear!" Shadow Kirby insulted.
Young Link gasped then growled angrily. "Don't ever call me a alternated knockoff again, you jerk!" Young Link snarled.
"Get out of our way, you annoying demons!" Purple Toon Link shouted.
"Yeah we don't have time to play with you two!" Adeleine added.
"Oh really!? Well we have time to give you a big bang attack!" Dark Toon Link smirked summoning a big bomb.
"Here we go again." Taranza grumbled getting annoyed with this.
"You took the words out of my mouth." Magolor said as they ran to get away from the explosion.
"You can't get away from us!" Shadow Kirby laughed tossing another big bomb at them.
A few minutes later the heroes escaped much to the shadow doppelgangers annoyance.
The heroes entered Kakariko Village and Cappy Town, but as soon as they set foot in the village they noticed it was set ablaze much to their horror.
"Holy cow… What happened... here?" Yellow Kirby asked shockley.
"Are we t-too l-late?" Red Toon Link also asked not liking the sight.
"I-I'm afraid so. The Shadow Links and Shadow Kirbies must have set the village and town on fire." Zelda whimpered.
"Oh those shadowy punks are so gonna pay for this!" Blade Knight growled.
"I agree! Those guys have gotten on my last nerve!" Sword Knight roared.
Then the heroes wandered around the village and town collecting Force Gems.
Suddenly a young boy with hair that was covering his eyes with purple shorts stood in front of the heroes.
The Kirbies gasped: "Tuff It's so good to see you again! How are you!?" Kirby asked happily.
Unfortunately Tuff didn't seem to respond to what Kirby said which made the heroes worried.
Uh Tuff. Aren't you listening to what Kirby is saying?" Sword Knight questioned.
"Are you deaf or something kid?" Rick asked.
Suddenly Tuff lunged at Kirby who immediately reacted by jumping out of the way. Everyone else shrieked by his violent action.
"Whoa! What in the name of Dreamland are you doing, Tuff!?" Kirby shouted.
Tuff turned his attention to Toon Link by tackling him to the ground and stealing his Force Gems.
"What is wrong with you kid!? And get off of me!" Toon Link shouted trying to get Tuff off.
"Why in the world are you stealing our Force Gems that we need to destroy those stupid barriers!?" King Dedede raised his voice.
"I cannot allow you heroes to use the Force Gems and defeat Vaati and Dark Mind!" Tuff finally spoke while glaring at them.
"Tuff have you lost your mind!? We're trying to save the world from being swallowed by darkness!" Sword Knight yelled.
"Guys, I'm afraid Tuff is being controlled by the influence of the Dark World so we're gonna have to fight him." Navi said.
"What! B-but I can't he's my friend." Kirby refused.
"I'm afraid we have no choice, Kirby! Besides he's trying to steal our Force Gems!" Green Kirby snarled.
"Let me do the honors." Magolor spoke throwing a fireball in Tuff's butt burning it.
"YOWCH! HOT HOT HOT! MY BUTT IS BURNING!" Tuff screamed dropping the Force Gems while holding his butt.
"Get the Force Gems!" Minda ordered grabbing the gems.
Suddenly Tiff who is Tuff's older sister tackled Minda to the ground trying to steal the Force Gems.
"Get off me you twerp!" Minda shouted as the two girls duked it out rolling around on the floor.
"Tiff not you too!" Coo complained.
"Can't this day get any worse!?" Young Link hollered.
As if to answer his question more thieves appeared running towards the heroes.
"The answer to that question is yes." Prince Fluff replied.
"I really hate thieves!" Aryll shouted not liking this.
"The Dark World is really controlling them!" Red Toon Link remarked.
"Then let's fight them!" Blue Toon Link snarled jabbing Tuff's butt with his sword making the young boy scream again.
"Get your hands off me!" Minda screeched kicking Tiff off into the other thieves.
Several thieves bumped Marx making him dropped the Force Gems as the other thieves attempted to grab them, only for Yellow Kirby to inhale the thieves as Red Toon Link grabbed the Force Gems.
"These thieves are so irritating!" Link grumbled knocking a thief away that tried to steal his sword.
"We're taking all of those Force Gems from you so-called heroes!" one of the thieves threatened.
"In your dreams, bub!" Skull Kid spat.
"Hand over the Force Gems you have!" the thieves spoke again.
"We're ain't giving these Force Gems to the likes of you!" Toon Link refused glaring at the thieves.
"Well I guess we're gonna have to take from you heroes then!" they declared.
"Oh yeah!? Well, take this!" Zelda shouted using Din's Fire at the thieves knocking them out.
"Now, let's take these guys somewhere they can't escape." Navi said.
"Oh Tiff and Tuff, I can't believe they did this to you. I will get the darkness out of you." Kirby declared as he carried the two children.
Suddenly several Cappy and Hylain thieves charged at the heroes, only to be knocked out by Taranza's electric web.
Then the heroes found a gate then trapped the evil thieves in the square prison where they can't escape.
"That'll hold them I hope." Blue Toon Link said.
"But, now we gotta do something about this fire." Kirby said.
"Let it to me." Ruto smiled as she summon water everywhere putting out the flames.
"Great job Princess Ruto!" Zelda smiled.
"Thank you Princess Zelda. You're too kind." Ruto smiled back.
As the heroes moved forward around the ruined village a Chain Chomp was in the forest chain on a pole.
"Huh? What's a Chain Chomp doing here? We're not in the Mushroom Kingdom." Link said.
"Maybe Bowser must have abandoned it or something." Toon Link suggested.
"Ahh! Woah! Watch where you're trying to bite you untamed animal!" Green Kirby yelped as the Chain Chomp lunged at him.
Then the heroes went around the snarling Chain Chomp then upward putting the fire on the candles then summoned the rain and putting out the fire.
"Finally. No more fire." Purple Toon Link cheered.
"Now, we can leave this village and town." Coo sighed.
"Goody! I love the rain! Kine praised happily due to him being a fish.
The heroes wandered back the way they went and to the other way of the village where the fire was blocking them where Shadow Link and Shadow Kirby were.
"Ugh. Those guys again." Red Kirby grumbled.
Shadow Kirby heard Red Kirby's grumbling as he turned around and grinned: "Hey Shadow Link look what we have here."
Dark Toon Link turned around then smirked as he saw the heroes.
"It's about time you showed up heroes. You all should just quit while you're ahead." Dark Toon Link taunted.
"I think you got that backwards Dark Toon Link." Toon Link mocked.
Heroes vs Shadow Link and Shadow Kirby.
"It's time for you to know your place." Kirby said blowing fire from his mouth at Shadow Kirby, only for him to blow his own fire at the wave of fire canceling it out.
The shadows split into four versions of themselves sending them to fight the heroes.
"The ending will be the same!" Young Link said putting on his Deku Mask becoming Deku Link, before firing acorns at the Shadow Kirbies.
King Dedede used his hammer swing at Shadow Kirby when he wasn't looking sending him flying out of the village.
Due to Shadow Kirby being gone the clones vanished into thin air.
"Man, you guys annoy me too much!" Dark Toon Link snarled slashing Purple Toon Link across the stomach.
"Argh! That hurt how!" Purple Toon Link squealed holding his chest as it had a gash on it.
"Oh no Vio! That's it you and me freak!" Blue Toon Link hissed punching Dark Toon Link in the face, knocking him to the ground as Blue smashed Dark Toon Link with his hammer.
"Y-You may have won, but I'll be back…" Dark Toon Link growled before disappearing.
Then the heroes went onward avoiding the evil blue Zoras that seem to be very territorial in the water, before heading further as the rain finally stopped.
As the heroes reached the end of the path a Big Dark Stalfos appeared.
"Another Big Dark Stalfos! We must defeat it and save the Knight of Hyrule!" Zelda advised.
The heroes fought the Soldiers who tried to fight back, but were easily defeated.
Then the portal to the Dark World opened sucking up the heroes where the Big Dark Stalfos was waiting.
"Alright bonehead! Time to finish this!" Toon Link shouted clashing swords with the Big Dark Stalfos.
"You Heroes are to be destroyed by the name of Lord Vaati and Dark Mind!" Big Dark Stalfos hissed aggressively slashing at Link who quickly blocked with his sword.
"We will not be defeated that easily, Big Dark Stalfos!" Kirby shouted.
"Just try it if you dare!" Prince Fluff smirked using his earn whip snatching the sword from the skeleton warrior leaving him defenseless before using it against him defeating him.
"Yay! Another Big Dark Stalfos defeated!" Aryll cheered.
"This is getting a lot tougher than I thought." Rick remarked not believing they made it this far.
Just then the Knight of Hyrule appeared in front of the Heroes as Green Kirby and Toon Link approached him.
"Bearer of the Four Sword and Heroes. I am the Knight of Hyrule charged with guarding the green royal jewel. The Four Sword was the seal to Vaati's prison." Green Knight of Hyrule said.
"Yeah it was, but I have the Four Sword which split me into four versions of myself." Toon Link explained.
"If you have it, that means the seal has been broken. Yet the one who enshrouded me in darkness was not Vaati, Dark Meta Knight nor Dark Mind! It was…" Green Knight paused in the middle of his sentence.
"Huh? It wasn't Vaati or Dark Mind then who could've done it?" Green Kirby asked surprised at this.
"It wasn't any of those guys, huh? This seems to be something new." Link commented.
"Ah! If the ones who enchanted me and turned the jewel into a dark portal wanted Vaati restored… Their goal must be to use Vaati and Dark Mind to remake Hyrule and Dreamland into a land of darkness.
"Fat chance, they're remaking my kingdom into a land of darkness! I will take them down!" King Dedede declared in determination.
"Your majesty! Please, you must not be hasty! You have no idea what those fiends are compatible of!" Bandana Dee advised nervously.
"Listen to me, heroes. You must never forget that Vaati, Dark Meta Knight and Dark Mind are not the only foes for you face. I will follow my brother knight's lead and entrust to you this green royal jewel. Now go! You and the Four Sword!" Green Knight of Hyrule stated.
With that the Knight of Hyrule disappeared in a green leaving the Green Jewel into the air for the heroes to grab.
"Awesome! That's two jewels! Now we have two more to collect!" Sword Knight smiled happily.
"That may be true, but now you must rescue this Zelda." a sinister voice hissed before ice cold hands grabbed Zelda making her scream much to the Heroes surprise.
"ZELDA!" Everyone screamed at this sudden act.
As the figure who grabbed Zelda was...Dark Meta Knight.
"Did you miss me so-called heroes?" Dark Meta Knight smirked.
"YOU SELFISH IMPOSTER! GIVE BACK ZELDA RIGHT NOW!" Link roared as his face turned red out of anger.
"Aw. Did I took your wife, elf boy? Too bad, I hope you don't mind if I take her then." Dark Meta Knight taunted even further.
"Listen you scoundrel! You better tell me where Ribbon is else!" Kirby snarled just as angry as Link.
"What if I don't! You and Toon Link sure have caused us enough trouble, but now this time you're proceed without Zelda. See you later!" Dark Meta Knight mocked before flying off.
"I-I can't believe it! I'm so mad right now! He just took Zelda and I-I c-c-couldn't save her." Link spoke in severe disappointment that Zelda was kidnapped.
"Aw Link. I-I really sorry this happened. I should have protected Zelda from him." Young Link sadly spoke.
"I-I'm sorry as well that Zelda got captured by that fiend." Toon Link spoke tears running down his face as the three Toon Links hugged him.
"Well if we want to save them, we will have to keep going and defeat those monsters and rescue two more Six Maidens." Marx suggest.
"Oh that monster is gonna pay real bad for this!" Linkie growled.
As the heroes proceeded into the temple where the Guardian was waiting.
To be continued
Looks like Link is gonna have a tough time traveling on the adventure without Zelda. Please review.
