The heroes entered the Temple of Darkness as it looked like it was filled with traps.
"Man, it sure looks creepy around here." Rick shivered as he looked at his surroundings.
"It's more creepier than the castle when it was taken over by Big Poe and King Golem." Kirby remarked.
"Hey! A treasure chest!" Young Link said opening up the chest revealing a Big Bomb much to everyone's horror.
"SWEET GOLLY STRAWBERRY CAKE! RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" King Dedede screeched as everyone ran from the dangerous Big Bomb.
"Way to go, Young Link!" Skull Kid spat.
"Yeah! You just had to open the treasure chest!" Link also spat.
"Hey! How was I suppose know there would be a big bomb in the treasure!?" Young Link defensively asked.
"Hey, cut Young Link some slack because there's no telling what's in the treasure!" Navi pointed out.
The heroes escaped to another room before…
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
The loud explosion shook the whole temple as half of the ceiling fell on the ground and crumbled as soon as it hit.
"Man, that was too close for comfort." Toon Link sighed in relief.
"Now, let's keep going the sooner we collect the Force Gems the better it is for us." Kirby said.
As the heroes wandered around the temple of darkness collecting Force Gems while opening treasures to collect even more Force Gems and another treasure chest happens to have a you guessed it… Big Bomb.
"Argh! Here we go again!" Linkie groaned as she and the other Heroes ran to escape the explosion from the big bombs.
"This place is filled with dangerous traps! We need to find the Maiden and get out of here, ASAP!" Yellow Kirby exclaimed.
The heroes moved around the temple fighting enemies like Laser Balls, Terrorpins and Stalfos and Sir Kibbles.
"Man, this place looks like it could go on forever." Red Kirby complained.
"We need to look for the Dark Mirror and make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands." Coo said.
Suddenly Chain Soldier and Three Heavy Knights appeared and attacked the heroes.
"Looks like we're gonna have to fight them if we wanna pass." Link said throwing a boomerang at the Chain Soldier.
"Taste my fire!" Red Toon Link yelled using his fire rod on the Heavy Knights burning them due to their metal armor.
King Dedede leaped into the air then smashed his hammer down on the Soldier crushing him.
"There let's move on." King Dedede said.
The heroes moved forward avoiding Anti Fairies and Gordos that try to slow them down.
"Stupid Wizzrobes! Quit stealing our Force Gems!" Bandana Dee shouted.
"Man. Can these monsters be less annoying than Laser Balls?" Green Kirby asked getting annoyed.
Kirby inhaled all of the Wizzrobes and getting the Force Gems back.
"That will take care of them." Kirby smiled.
As they wandered further into the temple trying not to let the darkness scare them.
"Oh no. It's pitch black in here. I'm scared." Aryll shivered holding onto Toon Link.
"It's okay Aryll. I'm here to protect you from those monsters." Toon Link said in comfort.
As the heroes light up the darkness and collected the Force Gems giving the Four Sword the power to repel evil.
"Awesome! We have the power to repel evil, now we can destroy the barriers." Red Toon Link smiled.
The heroes came across a maze.
"Seriously!? Now, we have to get pass a maze!?" Kirby complained.
"I know you hate mazes, but we have no choice." Young Link.
The heroes got passed the maze after a few minutes.
"Man, it sure is different going on this adventure without Zelda." Tatl remarked.
"Don't mention it. Thinking about it makes me upset." Link said sadly.
"It's alright Link. We will rescue Zelda don't you worry." Young Link said in comfort.
The heroes came across smaller Dark Stalfos that were ready to slice them.
"Dark Stalfos and this time they are smaller." Blue Toon Link said.
The heroes entered the Dark World and fought the Dark Stalfos.
"Miss me." Prince Fluff laughed dodging a slash the Stalfos swung then snatched the sword from the skeleton warrior before slicing him with it.
"Say goodbye bonehead." Toon Link said slashing the Dark Stalfos defeating it.
"C'mon we need to get going and get the Dark Mirror." Navi said.
The heroes walked around the dark lost while avoiding more anti fairies and Gordos before finally reaching the arena.
"In. It looks a little too quiet in here." Ruto said noticing how quiet the room was.
Suddenly four Phantom Ganons appeared right before the heroes's surprise.
"Phantom Ganon is back!?" Kirby shouted in disbelief.
"Be careful everyone! These Phantom Ganons are strong!" Purple Toon Link warned.
(Heroes vs Four Phantom Ganons)
The Phantom Ganon send a ball of energy at the Toon Links, only for them to deflect it right back at them as the Phantom Ganons merged back into Phantom Ganon after being stunned.
"Now's your chance heroes! Finish him off!" Tael said.
The heroes pummeled Phantom Ganon until he managed to shake them off and slash at Adeleine wounding her.
"Aaaahhh! Oh my gosh that hurts!" Adeleine screamed holding her arm where Phantom Ganon slashed.
"Adeleine, are you alright!?" Kirby ran up to her in support.
"I really don't know Kirby."
"That's it! I'm taking you down!" Green Kirby said using sword beam at Phantom Ganon stunning him again.
"It's payback time!" Sword Knight exclaimed impaling Phantom Ganon defeating him.
"Here Adeleine eat this." Blade Knight said handing her a maximum tomato fully restoring Adeleine.
"Thanks guys. You're a big help." Adeleine smiled getting up.
"Now, we must hurry! To the Dark Mirror!" Navi called out.
The heroes walked up to where the Dark Mirror is being kept. But as soon as they got there the Dark Mirror was gone.
"Ah! The Dark Mirror… Someone's stolen the Dark Mirror! That mirror reveals the wickedness within a person and brings it to life." White Maiden explained.
"Uh-oh! That's not good!" Sword Knight said in panic.
"Who knows what might happen!" Red Toon Link lamented.
"It's an item of terrible, dark power. No good can come from this. Shadow Link and Shadow Kirby!" White Maiden exclaimed much to everyone's surprise.
"Shadow Link and Shadow Kirby!?" The heroes shouted at the same time.
"Toon Link and Kirby could they be your evil reflections, cast by the Dark Mirror?" White Maiden asked.
"I'm afraid they are our evil reflections." Kirby nodded.
"If that were the motive of the mirror's theif… This is disastrous! If we don't get the mirror back, Hyrule and Dreamland will be overrun with evil Shadow Links and Shadow Kirbies." White Maiden explained.
"If Hyrule and Dreamland are overrun by Shadow Links and Shadow Kirbies they will destroy everything!" Rick shivered.
"We cannot let that happen! We have to get it back then!" Gooey said.
"The mirror… Who took it? And where?" White Maiden asked
"I think the other Maiden might know." Magolor suggested.
With that the heroes approached the vaati barriers and destroyed them freeing the crystal with the maiden inside.
The crystal shined red revealing the Red Maiden inside the crystal as the White Maiden approached her.
"The red shrine maiden's in trouble! The Mirror! The Dark Mirror!" White Maiden exclaimed.
"The white maiden? I'm worried about the mirror, too. Who could've stolen it? And what of the other shrine maidens? Has Princess Zelda been rescued?" Red Maiden asked.
White Maiden shook her head. "The whereabouts of the purple maiden and the princess are still… We still have no clear idea of who stole the mirror. However, there is something that disturbs me. When those...things...first entered my woods, they spoke of their dark lord. "Ganon, Ganon," they chanted. It was as though they were...worshipping." White Maiden explained.
"Ganon… I've heard that name before. No, wait… It was Ganondorf… But, no… That man was of the Gerudo tribe. I can't imagine these creatures worshipping some desert nomad. There's a Gerudo village in the desert." Red Maiden said.
"Wait! Ganondorf is behind all of this!?" Young Link asked loudly.
"Looks like the villains we're dealing with aren't our true enemy." Kirby spoke.
"I doubt there is any connection, but it cannot hurt to check the village. Beyond the village lie ruins and an ancient pyramid. They are so old that no living creature knows very much about them. All I can tell you is that no one who sets foot in the pyramid ever returns." Red Maiden explained in panic.
"Uh-oh. If that's true then the same might happen to us." Minda spoke in fear.
"Why doesn't this make me feel comfortable?" Red Toon Link shivered in worry.
"If one of the maidens is there, I fear for her safety." Red Maiden continue to panic.
"I'm afraid our next destination will be the desert." Toon Link said.
"A place with no water. I'm so not ready for this." Yellow Kirby said.
"Heroes… Despite all of this, we must go there. Let us be on our way! To the endless desert sands and Radish Ruins!" Red Maiden said.
"That's five maidens one more to go." Marx said.
"Wow, I can't believe we're actually getting closer to saving our world from the darkness." Young Link said happily.
"I'm close to rescuing Toon Princess Zelda!" Toon Link said happily.
"Don't worry Ribbon. I'm coming for you." Kirby said in determination.
With that the heroes were transported out of the temple.
In the Palace of Winds and Dimensional Mirror
Dark Mind and Vaati were speaking to two unknown dark figures.
"So Dark Mind. Are the heroes heading this way?" the dark figure asked.
"Of course my lord. Those puny heroes won't know what will hit em." Dark Mind smirked.
"Excellent! The time has come for our heroes!" the other dark figure laughed.
"As soon as those heroes set foot here, it's game over for them." Vaati smirked.
"Lord Vaati, Lord Dark Mind! The heroes are heading for the Desert of Doubt and Radish Ruins." A Keese messenger spoke.
"Excellent! I will be their opponent this time! They won't survive the battle against me!" Dark Meta Knight evilly grinned before disappearing.
To be continued.
