The five apprentices were still at the same spot.
"So Jess… where exactly is Goron Mountain?" Matt asked shyly.
"If I'm right, it should be to the left of Hyrule Castle Town. After we get out of here, just make a left and keep walking up the mountain."
"Ok then… do you guys remember the way outta here?"
"No clue," Ryan casually said.
"Sorry, no," Alex said politely.
"I think it's that way!" David decided that it was the right way and began to run through the path.
"Hey wait! David, get back here!" Matt yelled after him.
"Just follow me!"
David ran into a palm of a man's hand.
"Ow! What the…"
He looked up to see Bino.
"Ah! Are you everywhere?" David questioned him.
"No. By the way, you were about to run back to the burning castle."
"Oh real smart, David," Ryan sarcastically commented.
The others had caught up by that time.
"If you're so smart, where's the exit?" David challenged the old man.
"That 'a way," Bino told him, pointing opposite of the way David was headed.
"Um… thanks," Matt said nervously.
Ok… that's getting freaky, Matt thought to himself. Bino always pops up at the most convenient times, but that's just weird.

"Ow…"
Link's father found himself awakening on the ground of a cold hard floor.
"So you finally woke up…"
"Who's there?" Link's father demanded to know. It suddenly flashed back into his mind: he was supposed to be looking for the other knights.
"Where are the others?"
"Calm down, they're fine for now. Most of them…"
"Who are you?"
"Back to the same question… don't you recognize me?"
"Show yourself!"
Out of the shadows came a man who looked much like Link's dad.
"Oh! It can't be!" The man looked exactly like Link's father, except he had black armor and darker features than he.
"It is. I am you, your shadow."
"Impossible! The dark mirror was destroyed."
"There's another. Master Bellum has summoned more people out of the Shadow World to take care of business. Who better to capture you than yourself?" the shadow general grinned evily.
"Who else is here?"
"Look around."
Link's dad's vision cleared up a little more and he found himself looking into the cell of Red.
"Dad! You're awake!" Red cried happily.
"Red! What are you doing here?"
"Being captured…"
"Where are Green, Blue, Vio, and Shadow?"
"They locked up Vio and Shadow next to me and Green and Blue are locked up across from them."
"Dear god… how on earth could've we let this happen? Who will save the day?"
"If you must know, our lives lie in the hands of five immature apprentices," Blue muttered.
"Blue! You're awake!" Red exclaimed happily.
"Uh… yeah. I just took a nap."
"Hate to break up the reunion, but I'm still here," the shadow general said.
"Well leave!" Blue barked at him.
"No."
"Please?" Red said nicely.
"Okay," the shadow poofed out of the hall.
"…Oh wow."
"Blue, wake up Green and the other two somehow. We need to talk," Link's father said in a more serious tone.
"Green! Wake up!" Blue screamed into his ears, shaking him violently.
"Ok! Ok! I'm awake, violent much?"
"Dad is captured. Wake up Vio and Shadow."
"How?"
"No need to do that," Vio replied. "Shadow and I have just been eavesdropping."
"Oh... well, good job!" Link's dad complimented. "Have you guys thought of a plan to escape?"
"Not really..." Vio admitted reluctantly. "The walls are hard stone and the bars are solid wood."
"Wood, huh? Maybe I could break out," Link's father smiled.
"No. Your shadow put the liberty of putting you in a cell with iron bars," Vio said, examining his father's cell.
"Dammit."
--
"Shadow Darius!" Bellum called impatiently.
Link's father's shadow appeared in front of the giant squid.
"Did you lock up your double?"
"Yes, master. How many Shadows did you summon out of the mirror? Where are they now?"
"Hmmm... Shadow Ryan is drawing on knocked out soldiers faces, you're here, and the girl is doing her job. I plan to summon more once I feel like it."
--
"Hehehe..." Shadow Ryan laughed.
He was already done drawing on most of the Hylian army with a black ink. He was now writing "I LIKE BUNNIES" on Valenzuela's face.
"Can't I get a turn boss?" a Phantom whined.
"Ugh... if you really want to." Shadow Ryan handed over the pen to the Phantom.
"Oh boy!" it said excitedly. The Phantom drew a mustache on Valenzuela. "What do you think boss?"
"You forgot the unibrow, stupid!" Shadow Ryan gave Valenzuela a little eyebrow makeover.

"Ah!" Zelda cried out in terror.
The girl looked exactly like Zelda, Only wearing a blue dress and brunette. It was Shadow Zelda.
"Surprised to see you?" Shadow Zelda grinned.
"Your dress is a hideous color! You can't be me! You're not blonde!"
"Ugh... and what do you think I think of you?"
"Excuse me princess!"
"I'll excuse you!" Shadow Zelda took out a bow and arrow and aimed at Zelda's head.
"Aren't you going to capture me?" Zelda tried to change the subject.
"No, Master Bellum isn't a dumbass, he's going to kill you before you do anything."
"Oh god, no! Run away Levika!" She whipped the horse and they got running.
"You're not getting away that easy!" Shadow Zelda shouted.
Zelda kept riding away.
"Oh crap... I don't have a horse."
I guess the best thing to do is to go back to Master Bellum and continue this later...
"You're getting away that easy... this time!" she yelled after the real Zelda.
Link's father has a name! Gasp Anyways, Levika is the name of Zelda's horse, if anyone didn't catch that. I also change from Italic thoughts to just plain typing... I guess I didn't notice that before.
