Seemingly out of nowhere, a boy, a duck and another dog charged at Pete. The boy had brown, spiky hair, blue eyes and dark clothes as well as an oversized key for a weapon. The duck apparently had no pants, pure white feathers, a blue sailor-ish top and a mage staff. The dog was dressed in green and yellow, and carried a shield emblazoned with three circles that looked a little like a mouse's head. The newly appeared group surrounded Pete, weapons at the ready.
Meanwhile, Link and Zelda, hopelessly bewildered, stared at the group, clueless of what was going on. Most of the monsters had been defeated, and the remainder scattered like leaves in an autumn storm. They had seen weird stuff before, but this gave the rest a run for its Rupees. The large creature known as Pete turned towards the key-wielding boy and parted its bizarre lips in a grotesque approximation of a smile. He then burst into a fit of evil laughter (which sounded really weird) and said:
Pete: Sorry, guys, but you're kinda late to the party!
At these words, Pete disappeared into a swath of greenish black flames. The group lowered their weapons, and the boy with the key kicked the ground.
Keyboy: Darn it! We were so close!
Duckmage: Don't worry, Sora, we'll get them soon enough.
Shield-dog: Gawrsh, Donald, but where could they have gone?
Duckmage: How could I know that, Goofy?
Shield-dog: Sorry.
Link: Pardon my interruption, but who the heck are you guys?
The group turned to face Link and introduced themselves
Keyboy: I'm Sora!
Duckmage: I'm Donald Duck!
Shield-dog: Name's Goofy. Ah-hyuck!
Sora: And, who are you?
Link: I am Link, the Hero of Winds. And this here is Princess Zelda!
Zelda: I can introduce myself, you know. Plus, you didn't include my full title: Zelda, Princess of Destiny!
Link: Right... Anyway, nice to meet you guys. You mind telling us what that was exactly?
Sora: Well, to make a painfully long story REALLY short, those guys are troublemakers and we wanted to catch them before they caused more trouble.
Link: Guys? All I saw was the one called Pete.
Donald: Didn't you hear the voice?
Zelda: Oh yeah... He called it ''Malefi-'' something or other…
Goofy: Maleficent. Yup, wherever she appears, that witch is bad news.
Sora: Hey, we could actually use some help, since we don't have boats and we don't know this place well, so whaddya say? You in?
Link: (to Zelda) You think we should help?
Zelda: Well, they seem nice enough, and I'd be up for some more adventures.
Link: So that's a yes?
Zelda: What do you think, genius?
Link (to Sora and co.): I guess we're in!
Sora: Great! So… where do we start?
The gang hadn't thought of that, so they sat on the beach for minutes on end, trying to get a general idea of where to go. Then Zelda looked up to the top of the island, a puzzled look on her face. The princess/pirate hybrid turned her gaze over to Link, and spoke.
Zelda: Hey Link, remember when Pete left?
Link: Yeah…?
Zelda: Maleficent told him she had what they came for, right?
Sora: Keep going…
Zelda: What is so valuable on this island? I mean, apart from the village, there's Jabun's cave, which he moved out of, but what else is there?
Link's face suddenly went pale as he realized just what Maleficent had gotten her hands on. Next thing they knew, the green-clad warrior broke into a mad dash for the top of the island, where the Forest of Fairies awaited.
