"Ugh… Where am I?" Groose was laying on the ground, unable to move. He felt strange, as if he was floating on air. His eyes slowly began to focus on the environment around him. The sky was a deep purple, the clouds a bloody red. He could make out a faint silhouette a couple feet away from him. He wanted to reach out and touch it, to get at least a hint of what was going on, but it was to no avail.
"Groose… do you recognize this place?" a deep voice rang out among the sounds of the wind rushing through Groose's senses. "This is where you defeated me… not once, but twice." Groose heard footsteps approaching, the ground splashing with every move towards him. "Now, I've come for vengeance. I have you, your precious Zelda, and myself. That's all that I need." Groose pondered what the Demon Lord meant, but his questions were answered as soon as Demise stood above him. A faint humming was emanating from above, and a golden light blinded Groose, obstructing his view. "With this, I can finally take back what should be mine. I lost it once to her, and once to you. Now, there's nothing that could stop me. I have all three of the sacred holders in place, and the Triforce's Power is mine."
Groose struggled, but try as he might, he still could not move. Demise began to chuckle, which rose to a laugh. As he held up the Triforce, Groose felt a burning sensation in his hand. He recognized it as the mark of the Triforce returning to his hand yet again. The deep purple sky turned to black, and the clouds began to sputter to life. Lightning began to strike down from above.
"Not today, too fast!" a smaller, meeker voice cried out. Groose listened as the racing pitter patter of feet approached. Groose recognized the voice as none other than his beloved Zelda, and watched as her shadow eclipsed the light of the Triforce held above him. Zelda latched onto Demise, spinning around and wrapping her hands around his neck. Groose listened to Demise wheeze and watched him struggle to remain standing as he loomed over Groose's body. Eventually getting a grip on Zelda, Demise hurled her off, and Groose heard her body flop on the ground next to him. She rested her hand on Groose's face, and Groose noticed something strange happening. Her piece of the Triforce began to materialize in front of his face, and he watched as it split into eight pieces. Zelda sent the pieces of the Triforce soaring into the sky, disappearing among the clouds in a flash of light.
Groose was very confused by this, being as how all he could do was watch and listen. Zelda, using the last of her strength, summoned a beam of light from the sky. Groose felt himself fading away from the realm, but before he could leave, he heard Zelda whisper something in his ear. It sounded like… "No, die gyro." Wait, no. It was probably "Go, my hero." And just like that, Groose was gone.
"What the hell was that!?" Groose cried, jolting up with a shout.
"Groose, you've been out for quite a while now, are you alright?" Link asked.
"No, not that. The wall of text Potato just created! Look at that. That's not even entertaining. We might as well name this chapter 'The Legend of Plot Progression'." Groose stood, stretching out his back. As he did, he noticed a piece of parchment fall to the ground.
"It's from Demise!" Link said, picking it up and opening it. He read it aloud, "Dear pesky pompadour, the demon chiefs and I have taken over 'Grooseland'. The Triforce Pieces are now permanent guests at my eight summons. I dare ya ta find 'em if ya can!"
"Well, that was an awful rehash of a worse game's plot, but I guess it's almost entertaining. Close enough. So, from what I can gather, Zelda split her Triforce into eight pieces. If we can find those pieces, I'd imagine that we would have the power to break Demise's seal on the realm and save Zelda." Groose was satisfied with his conclusion.
"So… what now?" Link asked.
"Well, let's do something to try and salvage this chapter from plot progression hell." And so, Link, Groose, and an injured Cheeb walked the dinosaur off into the sunset, ready to embark on a new adventure.
