"I'm just screwin with you guys, there's nothing out there," Jess told them.
"Oh good," Alex said relieved.
"Forget the jokes, let's go," David urged impatiently.
"Let's go to the castle now," Matt suggested.
"Okay..." Ryan sighed.
--
"So Shadow, what's your answer?" Shadow Ryan asked.
"My answer is... never."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'll never join evil again."
"Well! Suit yourself." As he said that, Shadow Ryan sulked away.
"Oh Shadow! I'm so proud of you for turning down that offer," Red complimented.
"Us Links stick together!" Green cheered.
"Well actually, I think if Shadow did join, he would've been able to help us escape," Vio pointed out. "But I'm touched that you didn't leave us."
"We could've been free? Aww why me?" Blue complained.
--
"Ok, where exactly is the library?" Matt asked, looking around the castle.
"They should have a map for this place..." David muttered.
"It could take forever to find it..." Alex said doubtfully.
"You're looking for the library?"
The group turned around to see Princess Zelda.
"Hi Princess..." Matt started. He didn't want to be the one to break the news that the Links were kidnapped by a giant one-eyed squid.
"I know why you're here... to look for information, right?"
"How did you know?"
"Through her bedroom window," Jess answered.
"How do you know about that?" Zelda asked suspicious.
"While we were training outside, I realized that there was a person looking at us from a fairly large window. I saw you."
"Oh... how observing of you."
"Does that mean you know that our mentors were captured, we have no idea where they are, and Bellum, the fat ass squid, and emo Ryan are planning to take over Hyrule?" Matt asked her, not realizing he just spilled the news out all at once.
"...What?"
"Well..."
"Oh this is horrible! I didn't know my vision would come true so early."
"What vision?"
"I told Green about it, this is what happened in my vision: A giant squid took your mentors away, and it said, "It's their turn now." And an unidentified boy was in the background."
"Emo Ryan?"
"I think you mean Shadow Ryan, Matt."
"Why is there a "shadow" me anyway?" Ryan asked impatiently.
"Excuse me Princess, we need to know where the library is," Alex said politely.
"Oh, it's right over there," Zelda said, pointing to the room right across from them.
Wow... Matt thought. "Thanks Princess."
"I forgot to mention, you know the monster in my vision? It was referring to you five. Please bring them back!"
"Don't worry, we could handle it," David assured confidently. He leaned against a display case, causing it to tip over and knock down all the other display cases in a domino-like fashion. All of them looked at the mess of shattered objects on the floor.
"Wow David, that was so coordinated," Ryan commented sarcastically.
"Um... you know what? We need to go save the world now, bye Princess!" Matt dismissed himself along with the others.
Princess Zelda stared at her treasured, crushed items once more.
"...Those were expensive!"
--
"Ok, if anyone finds something, say so," Matt instructed.
They split up. Matt began looking under "P" for "Phantom".
Hmmm... Phantom Sword... it's not here. Phantom Bellum isn't listed either...
"Found something!" Alex announced. He ran over to Matt holding a really old looking book.
"What's in there?" Jess asked, looking at the ratty old book.
"It's titled Sacred Swords."
"Let's see then," Matt said, taking the book and beginning to flip through the pages.
"Right there!" Alex exclaimed pointing to a sword with a golden hourglass emblem on it's handle.
"Okay, here it is," Jess began. "The Phantom Sword kills certain supernatural beings. It is needed for defeating very powerful monsters. It was lost years ago in the sea and hasn't been found. The Phantom Sword could only be forged by using three special metals: Crimsonine, Azurine, and Aquarine. And there's one more ingredient..."
"What is it?"
"The Phantom Hourglass."
"Oh..."
"Where are we exactly supposed to find these?" Ryan asked Jess.
"Probably atop one of the mountains."
"That could take forever! There are mountains everywhere! Even in the ground!" David whined, not realizing mountains only do come from the ground.
Suddenly, the castle started heating up. The walls began to shake and screaming was heard.
"What was that?" Alex gasped.
"Somethings coming..." Jess hissed. "Move!"
A large tail smacked through the library walls. The apprentices saw what appeared to be a large lava dragon. Sacred Swords was falling out of the sky.
"I got it," Jess assured, catching the book.
The dragon roared fiercely and released flames from its mouth.
"What's that?" Matt asked. Another book titled Hyrule's Legends conveniently fell out of the sky as well, landing on the ground next to Matt. He picked it up.
"Well that was convenient..."
"That dragons skull looks like its weak spot, but we can't beat it with these swords," Jess analyzed.
"Then what?"
"Run?" Alex suggested.
"For now..." The apprentices began to run to the woods.
The dragon lost sight of them and began to tear down the rest of the castle.
--
"Princess Zelda! You need to be safe," Link's father insisted. Zelda was riding on a small pure white horse.
"I will be, I'll escape the castle. Be careful!" She whipped the horse, making it run off into the distance, further and further away.
