The heroes were transported to a sandy desert area where it seemed pretty scorching hot.
"Wow. It's pretty hot around here. I wish I brought my desert hat." Skull Kid complained.
"Take heed, Heroes. The road you all must take is enveloped in a fierce wind. But remember how far you've traveled. You must proceed. You all must go forward. You can meet any obstacle that arises. I believe that. A Gerudo village lies due north of here. Go and speak with them." Red Maiden advised.
The heroes proceeded to enter the Gerudo village where there were a few tents around.
"It's hard to believe Ganondorf of all people would live in a peaceful village like this." Marx said.
"Maybe, he was banished due to using power for evil purpose." Kirby guessed as he went to speak to one of the inhabitants.
"Tell me, travelers, what brings you to these borderlands?" The Gerudo lady asked.
"We were told to speak to you, by the Red Maiden to know if Ganondorf is a member of the Gerudo." Linkie explained.
"Hmm… I see… You come on word of the maidens, eh? Yes, this Ganondorf you speak of is a member of the Gerudo." She said.
"So do you know if he's here?" Yellow Kirby asked.
"I'm afraid his intent is unknown to me. He has flouted the law and fled for the pyramid." Gerudo spoke.
"Oh okay. But is there any way to reach the pyramid of this desert?" Young Link asked.
"To reach the pyramid, one must first pass the trial of the Desert Temple. The villain Ganondorf will no doubt draw his last breath failing this trial. We've blocked the road to the desert to keep other fools from coming." Lady Gerudo said.
"Wow, that's a relief." King Dedede sighed.
"But considering the crisis in Hyrule and Dreamland after a strange mirror collided them together, we've no reason to stop you brave lads. Go to the entrance of the village and speak to the guards at the gate." Gerudo Lady advised.
With that the heroes went to the guard of the gate and spoke to her.
"Greetings native of the village. We would like to pass this gate, please?" Toon Link asked.
"From here on, the sandstorms are brutal. Kids like you will never make it through!" She scoffed.
"Hey hey! In case you haven't notice some of us in this group aren't kids!" Taranza hissed.
"He's right you know. We need to pass in order to save our world." Red Toon Link said.
"And we received permission too." Toon Link added.
"Eh? You've received special permission? Well, then… I've no choice, do I?" She questioned herself before opening the door. "Go ahead. Go on through. Remember though, the storms ahead are terrible. Be careful out there." She warned.
The heroes wandered into the path of the desert where the sandstorm was blowing hard.
"Ack! (Cough)! I can't breathe!" Marx coughed hard due to the sandstorm going into his mouth.
"Be very careful Marx! This sandstorm is highly deadly!" Sword Knight warned.
Suddenly the heroes were ambushed by mummy monsters glaring at them.
"Ahh! What the heck are those things!?" Adeleine asked.
"Watch out! Those are Gibdos and they're very powerful!" Young Link warned slashing at the mummified monsters.
Two Gibdos tried to pin Kirby down, only for Yellow, Red, and Green Kirby to slash at them with their sword abilities.
"Thanks guys! You're a big help!" Kirby smiled.
"No problem Kirby! We're always here for you!" Red Kirby smiled.
"Eat some fire dead heads!" Rick shouted blowing fire at the Gibdos destroying them.
"This stupid sandstorm is really starting to get on my nerves!" Magolor growled covering his eyes with his hands.
"Hold on, allow me." Adeleine smiled painting eye protection for everyone.
"Thanks Adeleine! Now this sandstorm won't bother our eyes!" Blue Toon Link smiled putting the goggles on.
The heroes moved forward knocking out any Gibdo that tried to eat them alive and any insect monster called Devalants along the way.
As soon as they enter the Dark World, they were ambushed by several Stalfos, brainwashed Spear Waddle Dees, and Force Soldiers.
"Holy moly. Who knew a Force Gem would carry a sword?" Purple Toon Link asked looking at the Force Soldiers.
"It's one of the monsters tricks, defeat it in order to change it into the real Force Gem." Aryll said firing her crossbow arrows at a few Stalfos, but managed to hit only two due to their jumping technique.
"Snap out of it Waddle Dees! You're our allies." King Dedede tried to reason with them but to no avail.
"No you're not allies! Lord Vaati and Lord Dark Mind are our lord!" yelled one of the Waddle Dees as they pointed their spears at him.
"It's no use King Dedede." Bandana Dee told him. "Vaati has full control over them." Bandana Dee clashed spears with the Waddle Dees.
Skull Kid send one of his magic blast at the Stalfos while it was busy fighting Linkie shattering its bones.
The Kirbies decided to become Cupid Kirbies again then flew above the Force Soldier that tried to jab them with its sword. Green Kirby fired his arrow at the Force Soldier defeating it and turning it into its original state.
"These monsters are getting pretty tough!" Prince Fluff remarked avoiding a bone that a Stalfos just threw.
Sword and Blade Knight, Link, Young Link, and Ruto were wailing on the Stalfos who were helpless to fight back as they were crumpled into pieces.
Green Kirby tossed multiple bombs at the Waddle Dees who couldn't defend themselves and were incinerated by the explosion.
"Ow! Hey! Mate!" Rick yelled as a Stalfos chuckled a bone at him. "Now, you've made me mad!" Rick blows fire at the Stalfos and that was the last of them.
"Finally! Onward!" Adeleine said.
The heroes traveled deeper into the Desert of Doubt which is too hard to breathe due to the raging sandstorm as they tried their hardest to brave it.
"Hey! I see the oasis!" Kine called out looking at a tree surrounded by water.
"Uh. Are you sure that's not a mirage you're seeing, Kine?" Kirby asked.
"Maybe, he got so hot that he's seeing things that aren't real." Sword Knight responded.
"It can't be mirage because I can definitely see it." Kine spoke again as he approached the oasis and dived into the water.
The heroes dove in as well as they enemies Cheep Cheep swimming around in the water.
"Wow. Who would have thought Cheep Cheeps made their way here?" Toon Link asked.
"Beats me." Link shrugged.
The heroes swam through the water and resurfaced out of the oasis.
Then they wandered even deeper into the sandstorm avoiding deadly cactus and collected all of the Force Gems.
"Man so far so good." Magolor said.
"Looks like nothing is stopping us." Taranza added.
"That's what you think, spiderman." said Dark Toon Link as he appeared alongside Shadow Kirby.
"Guess I spoke too soon." Taranza cursed himself.
"Get out of our way!" Blue Toon Link snarled getting out his sword.
"Or what!? You're gonna kill us or something, weakling!?" Shadow Kirby insulted.
"I don't get it, Shadow Kirby! Why are you against us after we worked together to defeat Dark Mind and saved your world!?" Red Kirby asked.
Shadow Kirby's eyes widened fearfully at that question. T-That's n-none of your b-business!" Shadow Kirby stuttered. He couldn't answer that question as if he did it would be the end of his world.
"What!? What do you mean it's none of our business!? We're in this situation too you know!" Yellow Kirby pointed out.
"Enough chit chat! You heard what he said mind your own business!" Dark Toon Link snarled.
"Very well then! If that's how it is then we're just gonna have to take you down right here and now!" Toon Link hissed.
"Get ready for the biggest butt kicking of your lives!" Linkie shouted.
The Heroes and the shadows charged at each other in a heated rage. Two Shadow Link clones lunged at Skull Kid who protected himself with his magic shield sending them flying.
Sword Knight and Blade Knight used their sword spin attack slicing up the Shadow Kirbies close to them.
Linkie and Dark Toon Link were duking it out as Dark Toon Link jabbed Linkie everywhere as Linkie couldn't defend herself because the shadowy boy was too quick for her as she screamed in pain from every painful jab. This angered Link as he slashed Dark Toon Link from behind knocking him off of Linkie as Marx dropped an ice object at Dark Toon Link freezing him. Linkie then had her revenge by slashing Dark Toon Link in the face and chest multiple times knocking Shadow Link out.
"Tell us why you're betraying us you dirty traitor! Poyo!" Kirby hissed punching Shadow Kirby in the face.
"You don't know the full story so stop saying stuff you don't know what you're talking about! Poyo!" Shadow Kirby snarled uppercutting Kirby with his Fighter Ability.
"Then we're just gonna have to beat the information out of you!" Green Kirby said throwing his bombs at Shadow Kirby, but he easily dodged the bombs.
Three Shadow Kirbies were pummeling Red Toon Link with their hammer abilities as the young red hero put his hands up in defense. Luckily Blue and Vio Toon Link and Young Link ran to his aid by slashing the Shadow Kirbies knocking them away from Red Toon Link.
"Thanks guys! You're the best!" Red Toon Link smiled hugging them.
"No problem, Red Toon Link." Vio smiled.
"You really need to stop putting yourself into these dangerous situations." Blue Toon Link advised.
Four Shadow Links charged at Toon Link, Aryll, Taranza, King Dedede, and Magolor. Only for Taranza to use his web as a string to trip the approaching shadows on the ground as the heroes pummeled the shadows defeating them.
"Give up, Shadow Kirby! You cannot win!" Green Kirby shouted while glaring at Shadow Kirby.
"You lost again!" Yellow Kirby added.
"Are you're kidding!? I'm still raring to go and I'm about to beat all of you!" Shadow Kirby grinned.
"I beg to differ." Ruto suddenly spoke as she snatched Shadow Kirby from behind holding him.
"Get your filthy sea creature hands off of me!" Shadow Kirby screeched as he squirmed trying to get free from Ruto's grip, but the Zora was too strong for him.
"Gladly." Ruto smiled as she grabbed Shadow Link then summoned a torrent of water sending the two flying away.
"I'LL REMEMBER THIS!" Shadow Kirby screamed as he and Shadow Link disappeared into the distance.
"Finally they're out of the way for now." Young Link sighed in relief.
"Those creeps never give up do they?" Skull Kid groaned getting tired of this.
"Afraid not Skull Kid." Toon Link said.
Then the heroes went upwards and to make matters worse they encountered the third Big Dark Stalfos waiting for them.
"Man, we can never get a break, can we?" Prince Fluff complained.
"Guess we're gonna have to take them out if we wanna get the jewel." Bandana Dee said.
The Stalfos heard Bandana Dees voice as they turned around and threw their bones at the heroes.
"Woah! Watch out!" Link shouted ducking under the bones along with the heroes.
"You heroes have gone far enough! This is where you meet your end!" the Stalfos hissed.
"Dream on, bone freaks! We'll never be defeated by the likes of you morons!" Coo smirked.
"Wanna bet, feather freak!?" the Stalfos smirked back.
Then one of the Stalfos charged at Toon Link, only for him to smash him to pieces with his hammer.
Prince Fluff tossed his boomerang at the Stalfos, but due to their skills it successfully jumped over the flying object, but sadly it didn't notice the boomerang coming back so it was hit in the back of the head knocking it off on the ground for King Dedede to step on.
Suddenly mole creatures called Boxins appeared in the fray glaring at the heroes as they charged at them.
"Ack! Where did these guys come from!?" Sword Knight asked before getting punched in the face by the Boxin, but he didn't go down easily due to his protective armor.
"Oh! Now, you're gonna get it!" Sword Knight growled slicing up the Boxin in half with his sword.
Kirby used his Copy Essence to gain the Spark Ability as he was surrounded in electricity shocking the Stalfos that were close to him.
Two Boxins were getting ganged up on by Magolor, Marx, and Taranza, unfortunately five Stalfos to appear and threw three bones at Marx who was about to fire his arrows knocking him to the floor as they ran up and proceeded to punch and kick the poor jester.
"Get your bony hands off him!" Magolor shouted firings multiple energy blasts at the undead soldiers knocking them down as Taranza effortlessly punches them with his eight arms or legs.
Aryll was in a headlock by six Boxins as they were pulling on her dress.
"Noo! Let go of me! You have no right to do this to a young girl!" Aryll cried as she struggled in the Boxin's grip.
"Shut up! We do what we wanna do to pretty girls like yourself, toots!" said a perverted Boxin.
Suddenly they were ambushed by very angry Toon Links who lunged at them slashing at them violently freeing Aryll from them.
"Thanks brother. I thought I would lose my virginity." Aryll shrieked hugging her saviours.
"It's okay sister. We would anyone do that to you." Toon Link said.
Soon the heroes entered the Dark World and fought the Big Dark Stalfos which was a little difficult due to the Anti Fairies trying to keep the heroes at bay.
After a few pummeling the Big Dark Stalfos was defeated.
Soon the Red Knight of Hyrule appeared as Red Toon Link and Red Kirby approached him.
"I am the Knight of Hyrule charged with guarding the red royal jewel." Red Knight introduced. "Heat now the doom of the knights. We were bested by a for with a mighty weapon. They cast us into the Dark World, where we and the jewels were lost in shadow. The Tower of Winds vanished, and I… No. We servants of the crown were turned into monsters!"
"We know, we heard from the Blue Knight that you guys were transformed into Big Dark Stalfos by Vaati and Dark Mind." Red Toon Link said.
"Actually the man that defeated us is also the same man who created that shadowy imp along with some other wizard." Red Knight explained shocking the two young heroes.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Red Kirby asked fearing for the worst.
"A man from the desert wastes and some strange wizard… He is not Vaati and that other guy was Dark Mind nor Dark Meta Knight. Your dark twin was sent by him to trick you into breaking Vaati's seal. I wonder where those fiends got the amazing power they now wield." He revealed even more.
Red Kirby and Red Toon Link dropped their jaws at this revelation.
"Something tells me that was Ganondorf he was talking about. This is bad!" Red Toon Link shrilled.
"Wait what wizard were you talking about and what did he look like?" Red Kirby asked.
"This evil wizard was dark blue who wears dark pair of shades and a purple robe around his body, but the rest of his body was too dark to see and he didn't tell me his name." Red Knight replied.
"A wizard who wears dark pair of shades and a purple robe? That sounds more like… Oh no! Could that really be N-Nightmare!?" Red Kirby gasped surprising everyone else.
"It matters not! None of this allows me to aid Princess Zelda. And yet I cannot go on… Brave heroes… I entrust the red royal jewel to you. You now possess three of them. Obtain the fourth, and bring light back to the Realm of the Heavens and Candy Constellation!" Red Knight advised.
With that the Knight of Hyrule disappeared as the heroes caught the red jewel.
"Awesome! That's three jewels one more to go!" Prince Fluff said.
"Guys! Hold up a sec! I wanna say something!" Red Kirby spoke as everyone turned their attention to him. Believe it or not. I believe the wizard that was with Ganondorf the Knight of Hyrule was talking about was actually Nightmare!"
"What!? That's impossible! All four of us destroyed Nightmare a few weeks ago back at the Rainbow Resort!" Kirby shouted in disbelief.
"As far as I can tell, Kirby is Nightmare could've somehow survived the battle, while we were distracted." Yellow Kirby said.
"Wait so if Ganon used Shadow Link to trick us then he could be gaining even more power while we're still on the adventure!" Toon Link gasped in fear.
"This isn't good at all! We cannot waste anymore time, we have to keep going now!" Young Link said.
The heroes then moved forward without wasting anytime.
But unbeknownst to them, a dark figure was watching them from above and that figure was none other than Dark Meta Knight.
"Heh! Heh! Heh! That's right heroes! You're falling in my trap! It's time to you all to die!" Dark Meta Knight laughed evilly before flying into the temple waiting for them.
