Onox's castle wasn't very much to look at it was more like large ruins with a large open roof that led down into darkness below.
"Onox will be in his upper chambers making the best method of entry through the front door." Shiek explained
"That sounds kinda fishy." Buttercup said under her breath looking up at the darkened sky.
"Believe me when one believes oneself to be invincible there are many mistakes that are made." Shiek responded heading into the dark entryway.
The girls followed Shiek closely into the dimly lit hallways of the castle.
"Why hello Shiek, and who are these three lovelies?" Came an echoing voice in a high falsetto.
Shiek looked toward the ground with an annoyed visage, "Leave us be we are to see Onox." Shiek said annoyed
The girls looked all around but couldn't seem to find where the voice was coming from, "I was unaware that Onox was expecting company. And these… are they Fairies?"
Tatl and Tael tried to hide behind the girls but it was too late and the doors into the room closed tight.
"You don't want to try my patience!" Shiek said annoyed and still looking at the ground
"What are you…?" Blossom started but noticed a face looking at them from the ground she shrieked and took a step back.
"What is it?" Bubbles asked whiningly
"It's the castle." Shiek explained, "And it wants to fight!"
"We don't have time for this!" Buttercup yelled and jumped high in the air.
"Strawberry Yoyo!" Blossom yelled
"Electric Bubbles!" Bubbles yelled and their attacks merged into Buttercups hammer
She slammed down with all her might and created a ripple in the ground that ripped up the tiles and cracked the walls. Bits of the ceiling started to come down and crash on the ground. There was a puff of smoke that came up from the tiles that now surrounded the room and the doors opened.
Shiek let a drop of sweat fall down his back, "Well that's one way to do it but I'm sure that Onox now knows were here."
The three laughed nervously with their hands behind their back and continued down the vast hallway. At the end of the hallway they entered a very large room with an open roof that looked out into the sky.
"So I was correct, You are betraying me!" Onox said turning around to face the group.
"No I can't betray something I was never a part of to begin with." Shiek responded
"Well then I will pick my teeth with your bones!" He yelled and a bright light filled the room.
As the light dissipated there stood a large golden dragon before them. It had huge claws and a large red gem at the center of its forehead.
"Fall before the might of the Dark Dragon." He yelled and blew a strong gust that created small twisters.
The girls held tight to the pillars on either side of the room until they passed and started a volley of attacks on the large beast. Everything bounced off his thick hide even Bubbles' wail and Buttercup's lasers. Shiek was not having much luck either as the chain whip just bounced harmlessly to the ground off the armor plates of the Dark Dragon.
Onox turned to Blossom, "I will finish you first seeing as this traitor prevented me from doing so before." He reached out with his long arms and grabbed ahold of Blossom in a vice-like grip and started to squeeze. The other's jumped to the hand to try and stop the pressure but they couldn't get Onox to release the deathgrip.
"I've had about enough of you!" Buttercup yelled and headed straight for the face of the Dark Dragon. She whirled the hammer around to maximize her velocity and power and struck the large gem squarely.
There was a loud CRACK and the red gem split in several directions. This seemed to cause Onox some extreme pain as it released Blossom and held its head letting out a deafening roar of pain. Blossom fell to the ground unconscious but still breathing as her face began to turn back to its normal color. Shiek took the opportunity to throw a large Kunai right at the center of the crack which caused the gem to split wider and Onox fell unmoving to the floor. Shiek ran up to the unconscious dragon and placed what looked like a small bomb within the crack of the gem.
He ran off and the bomb went off. Shards of the gem flew everywhere and when they looked back at the dragon there was nothing there but a floating seed with intricate markings on it.
"That is what you need to get to Hyrule!" Tatl said finally showing her… self at the end of the battle
Blossom started to cough and suddenly sat straight up as though she was waking from a nightmare. Bubbles helped her to her feet.
"I must remain here." Shiek said turning to the girls, "Onox has offset this region again and without Link here to set it right I must take his place. Go to the Maku Tree and help your friend." He turned to Bubbles and looked at her in the eyes, "He needs you now more than ever you know." He said
Bubbles nodded and the three took off out the ceiling.
"What did he mean?" Blossom called back to Bubbles
"I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with Drake." She said thinking about the feeling she had gotten when looking through Shiek's eyes.
The Maku Tree was happy to receive it's seed back.
"Is there anyone you need to say goodbye to before you leave?" he asked
"I don't think so." They all said in unison
"Very well then close your eyes and open your minds." He instructed.
The world felt like it was spinning around the girls yet they dared not open their eyes until they felt everything stop moving. They opened their eyes to find themselves in a large chamber made of stone with a red carpet that led up to them and out the door. They turned around and saw three floating golden triangles that had the sun's rays dancing beautifully around the empty room. They exited through the doorway into a forest where a sign read, "Shrine of the Triforce. Hyrule 14 minutes that way." and there was an arrow that pointed upwards. The girls floated through the air above the trees and could see a large castle surrounded by a large open field.
"That's it! That's Hyrule!" Tael announced happily and the group darted off in that direction.
Castletown was amazing there were shops and games and a giant cathedral but in the background there was an even bigger castle that loomed over the city.
"This place is Awesome!" Buttercup yelled jumping in the air and trying out a free concession on the side.
Blossom's eyes were starry and her mouth had a small piece of drool coming out as she smelled all the sweet fragrances of the area.
"Stop it! Leave me be!" Came the shout from an alleyway behind one of the shops and suddenly a man flew out from the alleyway and crashed onto a concession stand.
From the alleyway a dark figure jumped right on top of the man and held him at the throat with a sword aimed at the airways.
"Drake!"
