|| Ahhh, yes. THIS again. have any of you noticed that with every chapter that goes by, I get less and less sarcastic, and use less and less parentheses every time. xD oh well, let's continue! I'm excited. And so, we last left off with Bloo, Red, and Gold finding Vio! Or so we thought... anyways, Let us continue then.||

Somewhere off... very far away... The temple of winds, high in the sky, floated. It was a very large palace, surrounded and held up by very strong winds, and looked as if it were being held up by a single pole. A very long one, that is. And there, all the way at the top of the entire tower, was basically total chaos. There were monsters of darkness everywhere, in every place imaginable. And not to mention it, the evil sorcerer Gufuu, or Vaati in this case, was there too! He was high in the clouds, not in his human form, but in his weird demon form, the thing with one eye... (yeah, that thing.) And so, he looked down on all the monsters, and of course, Shadow Link was there as well. He was right smack dead in the middle of all the monsters, and looked up to Vaati as if he were a god or something. Most of the monsters surrounding Shadow just ignored him, doing their own thing to each other. Vaati spoke down to Shadow, a bit angry. His voice boomed and could be heard for miles and miles.

"Shadow... You still have not managed to defeat the four heroes. What's the hold up. This is our chance to obliterate them! They must all be destroyed! and, kill the yellow one too, while you're at it. "He said, more so yelled.

The monsters surrounding shadow seemed to stop doing whatever they were, and turned to face Vaati, who was high in the sky, only to look at Shadow first. Shadow too looked up at him, Taking a deep breath before answering.

"The five have been scattered, and are now growing weak individually from the inside out." As he spoke, he keeled down, only to rest on one knee, and look below him, as if bowing to Vaati. "No need to worry, sorcerer Vaati... Bloo and Red, along with Gold have now entered the temple of darkness, as planned. And Vio, who is currently greeting them, has now become one of us. It's obvious that the other four will fall under our possession within days, if not sooner." Shadow looked up towards Vaati, and nodded some. As Shadow was was on his knee, he looked forward to see a small rectangular or some sort of pedestal shrine... and on top of it, was a sword... I-It was Reds' sword! The one that he thought he had dropped while falling off of the waterfall... After all this time, he was the one who had it... or- found it, at least.

Shadow looked at the sword on the shrine before him, with keen eyes, in accomplishment. "As long as we have Reds' sword, the four will never be able to revive the swords power, even if they were to be reunited."

"Hmmm..." Vaati seemed rather pleased, he closed his one great eye, and thought for a moment. He could be heard taking a large breath, and opened his eye soon afterwards. "I see. You have done well, Shadow. Now then..." He paused. "Who will finish them off?"

As soon as he said this, all the monsters surrounding shadow caused an uproar, shouting towards the sorcerer who was high above them, arguing to finish the gang off.

"Allow me." A monster shouted, stepping up, and standing next to Shadow, trying to be seen by Vaati.

"Let me!" One of the monsters shouted towards him, baring its blood stained fangs.

"NO, ME!" Another one shouted, its sharp claws glistened in the darkness somehow.

Moments after, they were all shut up, by an extremely strong wind that had blown, almost knocking them all over, all of them but Shadow. There soon stood a mysterious figure, one that appeared to be cloaked in darkness. It stood next to shadow, replacing the first monster who had once volunteered, and looked up slightly.

"Please. Leave this task to me." It said in its raspy sinister voice. "You say that three of the lost ones have entered the temple of darkness...? That place is like a garden to me." It smiled evilly, looking up to Vaati. "With my powers, I shall suck them all from the inside out." If you were to be able to see what it looked like, this creature appeared to have a snout like nose, and reptilian eyes, with green iris's and little slits for pupils.

"The big Poe*, eh...? Very will then! Go, and fulfill your side of the bargain!" Vaati yelled down at the big Poe, who, with the swipe of his cloak, he disappeared, went to take care of the gang. Vaati spread his large bat like wings, and his voice continued to boom across the realm of darkness. "Now go, my monsters! Go, destroy all those annoying pieces of light!" ((*If you've ever played Twilight Princess, you'll know what a Poe is. It's a ghost like creature that contains a sphere like souls, surrounded in an aura of darkness.))

Somewhere far off... Where one of the large pillars were.. There was a distant one. This one was much smaller than the palace itself, it was almost like a small prison, suspended high in the air, much like the rest of the entire wind palace. At least it was some type of shelter right...? And there... A very familiar face was. It was Princess Zelda! She had been there since the whole ordeal had started, she was almost like a prisoner of war. She stood very close to the edge of her small captive floating island, the upcoming winds blew, sending her dress back, making it appear rather elegantly. She looked like she was about to jump.. She placed her foot on the very edge of her small floating island. All of the sudden, another very familiar face appeared. Of course, you probably guessed it, It was shadow Link. He took a few steps until he was right behind her, he stood confidently, with his legs widened, arms crossed. He chuckled, squinting his eyes at her. Zelda didn't move one bit.

"Y'know..." He paused. "If you try to jump off, It wont do anything. The wind will turn into a clear wall, and block you from leaving. Even without that, you still have the height to think about." He took another small step closer to her, a small demonic smile on his face "How are you even able to look down? Aren't you scared?" He looked down a bit too, before he took a step back.

There was a silence from her for a moment. "...No. All thanks to two people, I've learned to love heights." She didn't even wait for him to answer. "But... How boring this is. I can't even see a thing past all these thick clouds." She continued to look on ahead, not even taking note of Shadow, even though she knew that he was there.

"You will soon see." Shadow growled softly, and began to walk even closer to her. His feet made loud echoing stomping noises as he neared her. "The sight of Hyrule wrapped in darkness!" He cackled, getting all up in her grill, and into her face, as she turned to face him. "It's printed! Right on your pretty eyes!~" He said, almost accidentally, Sticking his pointer finger out, barely touching her nose.

"HOW RUDE." There was a loud smack, and a red hand-print on shadows' face where she struck him. Shadow took some steps back, almost stunned.

"Although you're his shadow, your attitude is totally different!" She frowned, giving him a deathly stare, one that he actually found intimidating. "Link has never been this impolite to me before!" She would have yelled, but was too elegant.

Shadow growled, with an eye twitching, while rubbing the spot where she had hit him. He paused for a moment, closed his eyes, and sighed. The sour look on his face was replaced with a rather weird looking grin, and he turned away from her, she did nothing but stare off into the distance.

"Keep acting strong all ya want!" He teased. "You'll soon be miserable, and come back crying to me for mercy!" He chuckled, deviously, turning back around to face her once again, walking right past her and right off the cliff. But because he was a shadow, and apart of the dark realm, he didn't fall. In fact, it appeared that he was standing on nothing, even though he basically was. The way he moved made him appear that he was walking, rather trotting in this case. 'walked' further away from Zelda, they were about twenty feet from each other, as she replied to him.

"That's probably... What's going to happen, to you." She said boldly, staring him right in the eye as he turned around to look at her, dumbfounded, as well as speechless.

His eyes widened, and he grumbled, and could be seen clenching his fists. Zelda stood on her small prison floating island, courageous as ever, as Shadow looked and stared back at her from some ways away, Floating in mid air. He said nothing, trying not to take note of what she had just said. Though he would never admit it, she had struck fear in him. Big time. He continued to 'walk' away, frustrated and a bit apprehensive in a way. 'D-Damn! Damn that princess Zelda!' he yelled to himself. Although he never looked back at her, Zelda smiled a little, still standing at the edge of the 'prison' She knew that she had just won this one.

Red and Gold smiled, as well as Bloo a little, upon seeing Vio emerge from the dark looking temple. Vio smiled in return, stepping outside of the door, though it still remained open. Red chirped happily and smiled at the purple 'him'.

"Vio, I'm so glad that you're okay!" Gold smiled, feeling almost complete inside, as Red and Bloo walked up from behind.

"We thought we'd never find you! We were all scattered..." Red trailed off, placing his hand over his mouth.

Bloo stepped forward, and interrupted. "Wait- What do you mean you've been waiting for us...?" Bloos' face scrunched up, and he eyed Vio cautiously.

Vio seemed to take note of this, but kept his cool. He smiled as he usually would, and opened the large wooden door some, so that all three of them could fit through. "Green is in here as well!" He smiled gleefully. "Come in already."

The other three looked at each other in relief, realizing that they had all been reunited once again. They walked up the small rugged steps to get to the top of the rock staircase to meet Vio at the entrance. He held the door open, motioning them to move along, into the creepy dark looking temple. While doing, this, Bloo, Red, and Gold looked around the creepy inside. When Vio closed the door, it slammed shut, making both Red and Gold jump slightly. It was really dark in there, aside from some of the walls being lit up by torches, and a few candles on the ground, giving the temple an even more eerie setting. They appeared to be in a very large room, there was some type of large tomb in the center of the 'room'.

"Huh. Is that so...?" Bloo answered Vio's previous question, the one where Vio had said that he was waiting for the three of them. It's not really a question, but what the fuck ever.

"H-Hey!" Red stuttered, with optimism. "Now, we're all together again!" He smiled as the four of them walked into the room. "Now, all we have to do is-..."

He was cut off by the sight of the rectangular looking tomb in the middle of the room. As he stopped talking, Bloo and Gold looked ahead of Vio as well to see it too. It's width and height were pretty large, enough to fit a person inside of it. It also appeared to have a very familiar looking sword laying on top of it...

"What's this?" Bloo questioned, looking at the tomb from afar as they neared it, an annoyed look on his face, just like usual.

"I-Is that...a coffin...?" Gold questioned, her pointer finger shaking uneasily as he motioned towards it, her face looked a bit paler than usual.

"hmm..." Vio stepped forward, in front of the other three Hylians. His head hung over, and his hair covered everything, so that you couldn't really see his face. "Well... That's the thing..." He hesitated to talk, and turned away from the three of them, who so desperately wanted to know what was going on. "You see..."
"Green... Green is dead."

And with that, all the three of them exclaimed at the same time, 'W-WHAT?!" Red could do nothing more, than cover his mouth while trying to hold back tears, and Gold took a few steps back, some in which were already running down her face. Bloo, not really knowing what to do at a time like this, he threw his sword on the ground, and angrily walked up to the coffin like tomb, and out of sheer anger and even sadness, and with one mighty lift, he flung the top of the stone coffin off and looked inside, Red and Gold evidently running up from behind to take a look to see their deceased friend inside for one last time as well... Vio could do nothing but stand there, a few feet away from the tomb, his backs turned to them, on the opposite side of the coffin.

"B-But... It's empty!" Gold shrieked, a few tears still sliding down her face, Red staring in sheer astonishment.

Vio, who was still turned away from them, paused for a moment. "H-He... he was burned to death by a monsters fire..." As he was saying this, they all began to burst into tears, even the mighty Bloo, covering their faces with their arms, and leaning on Green's coffin. Their sleeves got soggy and wet as they did. "The four of us will not be able to be reunited anymore..." He trailed off.

"T-The meaning of our entire destiny is GONE!" Bloo cried, slamming his hands onto the side of the tomb.

"I-I know..." Vio began to stutter. It's very disappointing..." Although they were all upset and crying, they wondered why Vio wasn't the least bit sad. They continued to weep.

"T-Tell me it's not Green!" Gold and Red wailed, their eyes were red and puffy.

Bloo growled. If you couldn't tell that he was really angry all the time, you'd know now. Though he wasn't crying anymore, there were still stains of tears along his soft red cheeks. He stood up slowly, his hair covering his face. He slowly reached into the tomb, where Green's scorched body was supposed to be, and gently took out the four sword that ha somehow found its way in there, even though it was originally on top of the tomb. Bloo clenched the base of the sword. Suddenly, he lifted it high into the air, and with little to no effort, he mercilessly swung the sword down, as if he were attacking an enemy. He did this so hard, that the entire sword broke into two!

"God Damn it!" He shouted angrily. Gold and Red gasped. The two of them had just figured that the sword had broken somehow, because Green had passed away, and that the sword had lost all of its power... But, Bloo was now beginning to suspect otherwise...
He held just the base of the sword in his hand. Literally, as the blade of the sword lay on the floor, the lower half was more shattered. He squinted at the thing, and began to pick off small flakes of something solid on the sword... He looked at the two of them, with a blank angry expression on his face.

"I-It's a fake. It's made out of mason.." He growled. Gold and Red just stood there both motionless and speechless.

Bloo turned around angrily, about ready to slap the living sheit out of Vio. "VIO, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK-" But Vio was not there. He was nowhere to be seen.

"H-He's gone...?" Gold asked, rather yelled, scanning the large dark room for him. But to no avail, he was nowhere to be found. All the sudden, there was a deep raspy voice the could be heard by all three of the Hylians, whom were somewhat stricken with fear, even Bloo.

"You have fallen into or trap!" It boomed. The three of them looked around, wondering where in the world this strange voice was coming from.

As the three looked at each other, there was a rumbling noise that could be heard... It was getting louder and louder... It sounded as if something were surfacing from underground. All of the sudden, not too far away from them there was a loud crash of cement, and a larger than life centipede came spewing from the ground, sending chunks of dirt and cement flying everywhere, and on the three heroes. It was huge, about half the size of a football field. [50 yards] It roared with intensity that shook the ground and the Hylians. The three quickly stood up, next to the tomb, looking around and seeing the giant monster. there was another rumbling noise, and not too long after, another one came bursting from the ground. This one was the same size, and was purple with spikes on it's back, just like the first one. They both roared at the three, who were going to go to the door, only to have one of the monsters block it. The only way that they could all possibly get away, was going further into the temple... But.. They had no choice!

"Vio and Green have also fallen into our plan!" One of them hissed.

"This temple shall become your GRAVE!" The other hissed.

"Run!" Bloo yelled, looking back at the two centipede monsters blocking the door, and taking off through the entrance that would take them deeper into the temple of darkness, and hopefully away from all those monsters.

Bloo dipped, down one of the dark hallways, as Gold followed suit, and Red, not too far away, as the two centipede monsters, well...Three, now.. chased after them. Gold questioned the fact as to why she couldn't really hear Red panting as he ran behind her, and so she looked back to not even see him there.. Well, he was, but he just wasn't running. He sat there, as the three large monsters approached quickly. Bloo saw this too, and ran back to the two of them to get them going, Gold in which was already trying to get Red to hurry up.

"R-Red! Hurry up! We've got to go!" Gold pleaded, trying to get the red hero to listen.

But he just sat there like a child would, both of his legs sprawled out in front of him, both of his hands placed on the cold concrete behind him. He looked extremely pale, and weren't movin' for shit. Bloo turned around and sighed, ran up to the two of them, skidding to a stop in front of Red.

"Red! What's wrong?" He questioned, seeming to be rather understanding, more than usual.

Red stuttered, and looked really distressed. "Bloo... Gold... I-I... totally just lost all my strength...I-I can't believe that Vio and G-Green are gone..."

"Uhhhhhh..." Gold trailed off, quickly tapping Bloo on his shoulder, to signify to him that there were a ton of monsters approaching, and really fast, too.

"AGH." Bloo snarled, holding his sword up in a hurry.

He put his sword away, grabbing Red by one of his sleeves, and tugging on it, trying to get him to move, Gold doing the same on the other side.

"Red, you need to listen to us! This isn't real, it's a trap!" Gold pleaded.

"They're trying to destroy us, by discouraging us!" Bloo added.

Before anything else could happen, one of the centipede monsters attacked at the three of them, Bloo taking charge over the other two once again.

"Bloo!" Red cried out,

But Bloo knew what he was doing. Before he could be consumed by the centipede and its large pincers, Bloo swung out, retaliating back, and ended up slicing the entire thing down the middle. That seemed to get Red to move, so Gold grabbed him, and ran, Bloo ahead of the two of them, making sure that they had a clear path. They soon ran far enough as to where they could no longer hear the roars and growls from the other monsters not too far away, this also took them into another room of the Temple of Darkness.
This room appeared to be filled with pillars, and the three ended looking for a hiding place, as to catch their breath.
But... Not too far away from the heroes... in the shadows, crept a dark being... it was the Big Poe.. the one whom had volunteered to take out the heroes.
He watched Bloo, who was taking care of both Red and Gold at the time. He cackled to himself gently, looking at the Blue Hero.

"Hmmmm...What a high spirited boy... I sure would love to eat him*..." It giggled, rather.
((When a Poe 'eats' someone, it gains what's called a 'Poe soul', which gives it more power, by taking the person's soul. You probably already knew that, but still..))

And so, the three hid behind one of the large pillars that were scattered across the room, hiding away from the door, the Big Poe somewhere watching them, looming in the darkness.

"O-Ow! I stumbled, again..." Red whined, coming to a stop, resting against the large pillar they were hiding behind.

"I think we lost them.." Gold panted. "How in Hyrule are we even supposed to get out of here?"

Bloo stepped a bit forward, trying to get a good look at the room and its whereabouts, but had little to no luck.

"D-Damn... I-I can't even see two meters ahead of myself, it's so pitch black in here..." He growled softly, wiping his nose which had probably become red and runny.

Gold had ended up sitting next to Red, whose arms were wrapped around his legs, his face in his knees. He looked rather depressed, and the other two didn't like seeing him that way. There were soft anonymous weird demented laughs and giggles coming from some place withing the room, but the three didn't really seem to take notice. Bloo sighed, looking down at Red and Gold in the dark room as the two looked back up at him, rather disappointed. Discouraged. Heartbroken.

"Will you two please quit it with the long faces? Like i said before, Green and Vio aren't dead. It was a trap, and you guys just both fell into it..." He shook his head, rather annoyed at the moment as usual.

Gold perked up a little, as if she had just gotten an idea or something.

"So... If that wasn't Vio... Then... It must have been Shadow Link, in disguise!" She looked really surprised, looking up at Bloo, who was shaking his head in agreement.

"Oh... Um... I dunno..." Red said, "It could be true..." He was talking about both ideas being true at the moment. Now, he really didn't know who or what to believe anymore.

Now, Bloo seemed really angry, as Red just didn't seem to fully get the point. He scowled, growled and did everything to keep him from blowing his top off. Those giggles and anonymous laugh's and what not were getting even louder, but none of the three still noticed. It was almost like something or someone was trying to be noticed... But Red was still discouraged, and thought that his two other parts of him were gone.

"That's probably why we can't actually find them..." He put his head in between his knees, he could be heard silently weeping.

"Red, I'm sure they're fine. There's got to be another way." Gold said, trying to comfort him as she usually did.

"UHHHGGGH. THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU!...Ahhh, Forget it. You're so stupid, easily falling into a simple trap like this." Bloo crossed his arms, looking the other way, his face getting red with anger.

"Bloo, it's not his fault that he actually cares for someone, other than himself." Gold said, standing up, in front of Red.

Red now stood up on his own, his cheeks were pink and stained with tears.

"Yeah Bloo... Don't you even worry about the other two..?!"

Bloo paused for a moment, looking at the two of them with a completely blank face.

"No, actually."

Red and Gold both exclaimed at the same time, both out of disgust and fright, something that was hard to describe. The giggling and laughing could clearly be heard now, but the three actually just chose to ignore it. Whoever was making this noise was really trying hard to get some attention at the moment. Red paused for a moment, both him and Gold looking at the Blue one, him looking back at them, everything was quiet, besides the attention seeking thing that wanted to be noticed. Now, Red looked angry. This was actually the first time they'd seen him looking cross, and it was almost scary.

"What do you MEAN." Red said, almost aggravated. He was beginning to walk towards Bloo, Gold had no intentions on stopping him at the moment.

He looked like an angry kitten wanting to attack someone. He was still so adorable, seeing him this way was a little confusing to the other two.

Red quickly grabbed Bloo by the front of his tunic, his face no longer angry looking, but rather hurt.

"Did your heart just so happen to freeze when you were turned into ice?! Now, even I'M mad at you!" He didn't really look as mad as he did before, somewhat upset now.

"Dude..." Bloo scoffed.

When Red had Grabbed Bloo, this caused them to stumble out into the open from their hiding place behind the pillar they were hiding beside. Red growled in a fury, tears streaming down his face, Gold ran to the middle of them, trying to get them to both calm down, and take a chill pill.

"You just don't get it do you?! Bloo, there's more that should matter to you than just yourself, you selfish PRICK!" Red yelled.

"Knock it off guys, fighting isn't helping anything right now! We need to find a way out of here, NOW! Or this 'place', will actually become our GRAVE!" Gold yelled, grabbing the both of them.

All the sudden, there was an angry raspy voice, and a strange cloaked figure appearing out of nowhere from between the two pillars that the three were standing out in the open between.

"HEY. WHY WON'T YOU GUYS FREAKING NOTICE ME ALREADY!?" It roared angrily, Getting all three's attention.

The three heroes faces all turned pale at the sight of this weird ghost looking thing, that just so happened to be screaming at them. As you probably knew by now, it was the big Poe.

"I-I'ts a G-G-G...A GHOOOOST!" Gold yelled, pointing at the thing.

The three wasted no time, turning around, and running away screaming, scrambling and tripping over each other trying to get away. They didn't know it, or maybe they did- But the way they ran had evidently taken them to another room even deeper into the temple. As they ran away, the Big Poe just stood there, rather floated, watching them.

"Such…. Dull headed creatures…."

They ran and ran, sprinting right into the other room, Bloo running smack dead into the middle of a pillar. Gold and Red would have met with the same terrible fate, but something bright whizzed by, catching their eyes as they caught up to Bloo to see if he was alright.

"Hey, what was that..?" And what was that Ghost thing back there? I don't think we should check it out. Let's check out where that light's coming from instead-" Gold panted, clearly trying to avoid any contact with a 'ghost'.

Red looked down at Bloo, and figured that he'd be alright, as he'd been through much worse in the time being.

"I agree, let's look for the light!" It didn't take long, to see a small bright light poking out from a nearby pillar. "Hey…! Come out, you!" Red called.

The small light began to move from behind the pillar, and out into the open. small flakes of magical dust loomed and fell from the light. It giggled. It was the fairy! Gold and Red happily walked up to her, as she swarmed around them, healing some of their wounds, and Bloo too, who was now beginning to stand up, a noticeable bump on his head.

"Miss Fairy! Where have you been!? We've missed you!" Red said happily, holding her in his hands.

"My apologies heroes, but I am extremely weak against this evil presence I'm sensing now..."

She began to float again, coaxing them to follow her.

"This way! I have found something that I think will aid you here!"

"Finally! Some help!" Gold laughed, running with the other two and Miss Fairy to retrieve the item that would help them out.

Upon running up to whatever this item was, it got brighter, not like Miss Fairy bright, but… fire. There were shelves that ran along the walls in this particular room, or they did for one of the walls there at least, but they were all empty, besides the item sitting there. And thank their stars, it was a lantern!

The three exclaimed, Miss Fairy jingled in delight.

"Thank my stars, I can actually see my surroundings for once!" Bloo smiled, taking the lantern off the shelf, and holding it by its handle.

Upon turning around, they were in for a real surprise. When they did, it was there, and it was huge. The 'ghost'. The three didn't even have time to say anything, it was so sudden, and literally took the breaths out of their mouths. They looked up at the monster of darkness, the living daylights scared out of them, even the mighty Bloo. The Poe smiled, and grinned evilly, looming over them.

"Good of you to come… heh.. heh.. heh… I, am the Big Poe. This is the sacred ground of darkness, where those who fall into darkness are lead to… Now, allow me, to put your soul at rest."

The three stood back in fear, Gold and Red taking a few steps back, as they had figured that the mighty Bloo hero could take on the monster himself. He too tried to step back and rethink his thoughts on fighting or something... But he couldn't as he was frozen in fear, although the other two were as well. He stuttered to get the words out of his mouth, as the large ghost monster watched them closely. He shook, and so did the lantern, making the light in the room look extremely creepy.

"I...I-... I-I can't... m-move...!" Bloo struggled, trying to free himself from his own fight.

"Mmm... This is so gooooood...~ Souls filled with fear and despair are my favorite~" it hissed, happily.

Before he could do anything else, or at least try to, the Big Poe reached it's ghostly clawed hand out, and put it right over Bloo's head, not actually touching it. He smiled deviously, as Bloo stopped moving altogether. Although Red and Gold couldn't see Bloo as he was turned from them, he appeared lifeless, and grew really pale. Even with wide eyes, he looked dead inside. Slowly, the Poe raised its hand, and its hand in fact wasn't the only thing rising along with it. Something white and transparent-ish was emerging from Bloo, and it just so happened to be something he really needed...his soul. Gold and Red watched in horror as the Big Poe stole Bloo's soul right from his head, it appeared to be a ghost form of Bloo, but then again it also looked like it was sleeping. The Big Poe must have really liked to play with its food, because it stopped. And Bloo's soul just so happened to still be emerging from his head.

"Heh heh heeeeehhh... Hmmm...~ Shall I start from the front...?~ Or the maybe the back...~!"

The Poe held the head of Bloo's soul in its hands, analyzing it completely. It looked all around the soul, stretching and pulling at it, while it was still emerging from the top of Bloo's head.

"You know... I already have the souls of Green, and Vio..."
"They were so delicious!~" The monster taunted, finally letting go of the head of Bloos' soul, it shot back into himself like a rubber band, and he sprang back into life.

It was if Bloo had woken up after being saved from drowning, he fell to his hands knees, panting. He growled, his hair hung over his face, and his breathing became louder.

"D-Don't get too excited." He exhaled angrily, looking up to the big ghost minster, baring his fangs.
"GREEN AND VIO COULD NEVER HAVE BEEN DEFEATED BY THE LIKES OF YOU." He snarled, Gold and Red having just a little bit of hope.

The Big Poe growled, exhaling greatly. He was really set on ending the three of them, and Bloos' little speech actually broke him down a little. Angrily, he retaliated back at Bloo.

"Fine then. I guess I'll just have to just eat you RAW." And with that, it began to suck Bloo up, although Bloo stood firm, his soul once again emerged from his head, much faster this time, and was headed right for the Big Poes' mouth. If nothing were to stop this, Bloo's soul would be eaten and there would be no hope for him. But he was more clever then they thought, and he had tricks up his sleeve.

"YOU THOUGHT!" Bloo roared, quickly holding the lantern right in front of the Big Poe's face. The light, being an only poe's weakness, it screamed, hissed, and quickly covered its eyes, trying to get away from it.

Bloo was still weak from the horrible fate that he had almost come to. He stumbled, but Gold and Red ran up from behind to help him, and held him shoulder by shoulder. Ways away, the Big Poe snarled and cursed, trying to heal itself from the burn it had succumb to it. Because of this, it was much brighter, as was the lantern, lighting up the dark room like never before. And with this, the three could see! They now realized that they were trapped in the room with the Big Poe and had no choice but to defeat it. With the room, they noticed that there were torches everywhere. On the walls, the ceiling, some even looked to be out of reach. Out of nowhere, Miss fairy came back, flapping her tiny wings, exhausted.

"T-The torches! You have to light all the torches with the lantern! The darkness will keep away the evil, and help you to defeat the Big Poe!" She squeaked.

Their eyes widened, and they all looked at each other and nodded.

"We'll keep the ghost thing distracted, while you light all the torches!" Gold said, pointing to herself with her thumb, as Red nodded while behind her.

"Alright." Bloo said, nodding at the two of them, and dashing across the room to begin lighting all the torches.

The Big Poe was now fully to almost recovered, and noticed the one of the humans was trying to light the place up, and that the other two were dashing towards him, sword in hand, the other one with a lantern, trying to attack him. But the Poe was smarter then this, and ignored Red and Gold, flying straight towards Bloo who had almost lit all of the torches that were on the ground, keep in mind, there were many more to go.

"I won't let you do that~!" The Poe teased, racing towards Bloo to stop him from lighting the torches.

"D-Damn it! I have to be faster!" Bloo almost freaked out, noticing that the ghost was rushing right towards him, Gold and Red trying to keep up with it, burning it with the lantern every now and then.

The Poe was now getting angry at the progress the blue one was making, and because the red and gold ones wouldn't leave him be.

"HOW IRRITATING!" It yelled, growling, and sucking in air so hard, [Oh no] this sent Bloo flying back, right into the ghosts mouth...
And down his throat... just as Bloo was just about to light the last lantern that was on ground level...

The Big Poe coughed, and belched, covering its mouth with its cloaked hand, trying to hold down its lunch, or Bloo in this case.

"Whoops!~ I ate him whole."

Gold and Red looked in horror as their friend had been eaten, at this point, they were unable to move, they backed up not knowing what was going to happen next, until they heard angry shouts coming from the throat, not the belly of the monster. It was Bloo! And he didn't sound very happy. He found himself caught in the throat of the Big Poe, slowly making his way down to its stomach.

"H-HEY. LET ME OUT!" Bloo snarled, trying to find his only weapon. He was head first, meaning that he'd be landing face first into stomach acid, or whatever's found in there. "I-I can't breath!" He struggled to get out.

"Still alive are you?" the Big Poe said. "Well, I guess I'll just have to crush you!" it cackled, the ghost began twisting it's body just like how Shadow Link could stretch and twist.

This put Bloo into a lot of stress and pain, his grunts and groans could be heard from inside the ghosts's cloak.

"I-I can't reach my sword!" The two heard Bloo scream as he was caught inside.

Seeing as how a Poe with a full stomach could do nothing, not even a Big one, Gold and Red were pretty much safe at this point. This was because a full stomach would slow it down, as well as make it solid, just how the giant phantom did when Green used the moon pearl on it. This would also make it less aggressive for the time being.

"G-Gold, Red! Help! As soon as I get out of here, we're going to save the rest of Hyrule together, alright? Look, I'm sorry I've been so mean to you guys for the longest, I know I'm, an asshole, and what not, but please, you've gotta help me outta here!" He struggled to breath and reach for his sword, he could see it, but not clearly, due to all the throat muscles bulging around him and what not.

He heard no response from neither Gold nor red, and decided that it was hopeless. This was it. He was going to die here... or so he thought. The Big Poe was now laughing and cackling heavily, and about ready to finish Bloo off.

"It's okay Bloo!" Gold called to him.

"yeah. I already lit all the lanterns!" Red giggled. The room was now fully lit, and warm at that, due to the burning torches. "It was much easier to do with this!" He beamed, holding up the fire rod.

"Great idea, Red!" Miss fairy smiled. "You've made him even weaker! Now's your chance to destroy him!"

"W-WHAT!?" It yelled.

The Big Poe was no longer laughing or smiling, it look stunned, as if it had been tricked. It began to bloat, like a balloon, because of all this light attacking it. It covered its face, trying to shield itself. Bloo was now falling into the stomach of the ghost, which was actually a huge pit of nothingness. No stomach acids, like he had thought or anything. Just an empty pit of muscle. Bloo just assumed that the Poe hadn't eaten in a long time, and if he were to, the being would just die inside of it, and its soul would be digested, while the body would be regurgitated. Luckily, Bloo just so happened to see his sword! He smiled, relieved, as it was about ready to fall to the bottom of the stomach, as he about to as well, upon falling, He also just happened to grab his sword right on out of sheer luck!

"All RIGHT!" He cheered confidently. Red and Gold doing the same, as they too noticed that they now had the upper hand.

He growled, holding his sword upright while still falling. [some fall-] he righted himself, meaning that he was now falling foot first, or 'the right way', and with his sword, he swung down, as if he were going to put the sword back into its shrine, and with one very strong landing, pierced the very bottom of the Big Poe, popping it, is if it were a giant balloon!

"O-OH SHOOT...!" It yelled, feeling itself explode from the inside out.

It cried out, its raspy deep voice filled the room, as there was a loud 'POP' that could be heard from the Poe as it made its final screams.
Red and Gold cheered, watching Bloo land safely on the Ground, as bits and pieces of shredded cloak from the Big Poe fell from the air and silently drifted to the ground, blowing away from a small draft coming into the room. Bloo smiled at the both of them, Gold cocked her head curiously at Bloo, noticing that something behind him was glowing. Upon noticing this as well, he took out his sword, and it for the strangest reason, it was glowing! Red's sword was doing this as well. Red noticed that something behind Gold was glowing too, when she took her sword out, hers was glowing too! Although, they thought that this was strange, the last time they checked, Gold had a common sword, not a Four Sword. They disregarded this, happy that they had now found another clue to where the others were.

"Come on!" Bloo piped up. "Let's go save Hyrule!" he laughed, as the other two did as well, following him. "To Death Mountain!"

Green Swiftly made his way up the side of a steep hill, with very small careful steps. He appeared to be climbing up somewhere, and that somewhere was Death Mountain. He was sure they'd all be fine if he had gotten there. He grabbed onto a rock, pulling himself up, as he struggled, even smaller rocks and pebbles rolled down the hill and away. He grunted as he hoisted himself into a small flat cliff, to catch his breath. He was some ways away from the mountain, and he didn't think he'd be getting there anytime soon. He breathed slowly, catching his breath with the both of his hands on his knees. It was rather really sunny out, and he could barely even see the mountain over the huge trees that blocked the view. While he was thinking about what he'd do when he got to Death Mountain, he was suddenly interrupted by the sudden sight of something glowing behind him.

"Huh...?"

He looked around and saw nothing, and pulled his sword out to be ready for anything. Upon doing, this he noticed that his sword was glowing. His eyes lit up, and his face got curious. Then, he smiled.

"The Four Sword...! It's resonating!"

Vio looked up keenly at his sword as he held it in his hand. It was glowing as well. He smiled. It made him feel good that the others were still alive. Suddenly, Shadow came up from behind Vio, angry in the face.

"Quit it!" Shadow growled at the purple hero, snatching the sword from him, throwing it on the ground, and stomping on it many times.

Vio didn't really react to this, as he was the calm one. He only... flinched. He bent down to pick up the sword, which was now no longer glowing, Vio looked a little upset. He turned around and looked at Shadow with blank eyes, waiting for him to say something.

"You're a member of the darkness now. Don't forget." Shadow hissed, looking Vio right in the eye.

Vio took note of this, and dropped the sword.

"I know."

"...Good."

"So... Everyone's okay." Green sighed happily, putting his sword away. He looked at the huge Mountain ahead still some ways away from it.

"Whelp... Better hurry to death mountain...! The place we supposed to be headed to before all this happened..."

"Hopefully, the others will be there too!" He smiled confidently, thinking of him, the other parts of him, and his best friend defeating shadow link, Vaati, and the other dark force he had a bad feeling about. He continued on, climbing the steep hill that would eventually get him to where he would need to go.

...

Somewhere from the land of shadows... The great sorcerer was watching. He was watching the Green hero climb up the huge mountain, towards its peek. He growled.

"So...The Four Swords are trying to pull themselves together to reunite. Almost as if they're trying to pierce me... Ah Well. We can't have that now can we.
Let them Come.
The light these swords produce.
It shall disappear with no trace as they touch my world of darkness. Vaati laughed, walking away from the orb he was watching the hero through.

||AHHHHHHH. Finally. It iz dooooone. Sorry for the long wait, school and stuff. So, a basic summary of this chapter: Gold, Red, and Bloo are trapped in a temple of darkness, as Shadow disguised as Vio greets them. They're faced with the fact that Green has 'died' and soon are caught in a trap, and have to defeat the Big Poe, a ghost like monster choose by Gufuu (Vaati) to defeat the heroes, which he doesn't. Zelda is trapped in a sky tower, and is confronted by shadow, whom she tells him off. Green is okay, and Vio is with Shadow somewhere.
Phew. That was a lot actually, This is getting so fun-
I'm thinking of having like some type of weird twist or something, maybe I'll do that in the second story, tHATS RIGHT THERE'S GOING TO BE A SECOND ONE- And unfortunately, It's going to be worse than this one.
And onto the next chapter! This is the longest one yet, clocking around like almost 8 thousand words or something. Lawl. Hope ya ,like, see ya later!
