Alright, here's the nearly Cia centric Chapter 12, and there will be some Midna and Zant perspectives. Midna, because we love her, will probably be the second most important ally, after Thou Who Shall Be Set Loose. I don't have anything for her yet, but she might be very important to the conflict between Josh and Lana. It might looked resolved, but it isn't. The jealousy arc is done, but I have to try to keep Lana true to the game for some more time.

It might be Joshua's fault, but I did hint at that two chapters ago.

Next thing, well, we know my interpretation of Cia is...she has that problem that she has. Watch for it these next few chapters, either with Cia or Lana, as you will realize that Lana and Cia have a similar problem, but different actions.

Cia was looking at the Mirror of Twilight with pure disgust. The mirror was actually a spectacular sight. The reflection in it definitely was. It was who made it famous that made Cia tick.

"Mistress Cia, what is our plan?" Wizzro floated behind his master...floated behind its master. Idk if Wizzro can be counted as a male, bit that's up to you. "And what of the Twili people? Why are we attacking them?"

"Wizzro, why are you a ring?" She turned to him, her hawk mask peering into his very soul. Or what was left of it. He never saw her true eyes. He knew she had snow white hair, but Volga knew her eye color. Wizzro knew the events of 36 hours ago.

"I was created to be a powerful force, but was sealed until now."

"The Twili are the same. They were called the Dark Interlopers, and were responsible for the Hyrulean Civil War 10 years before the Hero of Time began his journeys. It was them that gave rise to the original Ganondorf."

"What?"

"He was secretly their leader. That was first bid for the Hyrulean crown and the Triforce. When he returned during this era, he tried again. Of course, he was killed by the Hero of Twilight, with assistance from the Princesses of Light and," her tone turned to scorn, "Twilight."

Wizzro never knew this story. "That's why Zant worshipped him?"

"Yes."

"What happened to the Hero?"

She looked towards the distant castle, its spires barely visible. "He is now courting the Queen, probably. King Link and Queen Zelda Nohansen. The first of the line of Nohansens."

"He was king?"

"He loved the Queen, yes. It is a curse. The Spirit of the Hero will always be drawn to the Blood of the Goddess, no matter what. Unless one dies. The Hero of Time is the only exception. He was still married to his Zelda, how adorable they were, but he did something that he regretted."

"What is that, if I may ask."

Cia looked towards the forest, where Ordon Village still today is located. "He had a child with a farm girl, but he never knew until 100 years later after he returned to Hyrule from Termina when he met his great-grandson. Even when he helped Malon bring Ordon to rise, she never revealed his child. Even today, the Hero of Time has two bloodlines. One of royalty, one of peasantry."

"How? If his descendents married..."

"He has another prominent descendent in this time. Link and her almost fell in love. As a matter of fact, she still yearns for him in her village. Even today, her bloodline creates the heroes." She sighed. "Back on task. We're here because I sense another presence that we shall add. His name is Zant. The Usurper King of Twilight. As to why we're attacking, I don't share my men."

Midna couldn't believe it. It has been two years since he died, and guess what. He's back like it's another Zelda game. But her troubles were getting worse. She couldn't call for help, since there was no way for Zelda and...Link to come.

She missed him. He made her world those months they were together, saving their lands. She didn't know how he was doing now, but she regretted cracking the mirror. But at least he got to see her true form, instead of that dirty imp she was.

But like every princess, they really wanted a Prince Charming to swept them off their feet, and if that fails, then a courageous hero is next. She just didn't know it yet.

Or did she know that she was about to meet a terrible fate.

Zantilicious (Zant-ti-li-cious) was on a roll! Wielding dual scimitars, Zanty Pants spunned, twisted, and twirled as he cut his enemies with extreme precision. DJ Zant was angry also. He was so close to ruling the Twilight Realm. But that undeniably beautiful, yet annoying Princess Midna and that 'Asshole Chosen By The Goddesses' took that away, until now. No mirror, no hero.

And, although he never admit it, he got what he wanted with some outside assistance. How ironic that the tables have turned on our Twili friends.

Once then Dark Forces made it through the mirror, they were ignored. As if they weren't there. Of course, they didn't expect anyone to show, but if males know anything, don't ignore women, lest they make themselves known. Cia made herself known.

"Hmm, two forces fighting, I bet I can add one of them to my retinue. Attack the forces of that red haired, mischievous, dirty, narcissistic..."

While Cia is being descriptive, I guess I should tell you who fighting who. President Zant for 2016 has the Bulblins and Redeads. Midna, Stalchildren, Stalfoses, and Darknuts.

I think she's done. Let's go back. "...pig called Midna!"

If Wizzro had a stunned expression, he'll probably have it on now. "Umm...greedy people are easy to control. This Zant is your stooge for sure. Let's give him Midna's head as a 'welcome aboard' present! Kyahahaha!" Damn, that's violent. Even for a Zelda game.

Midna finally recognized the Dark Forces, and, like I stated, didn't expect them to come from Hyrule. So she made her logical conclusion. "You're kidding? More enemies? Where'd Zant pull them from?" Now she really wished Link was here. She doesn't know that she has warped throught time and space, so in the world of Twilight Princess, the realm, even if it had the mirror intact, was gone.

Zant, however, was far from pleased with the Dark Forces. Like Midna, he didn't expect them, but he knew he didn't summon them. "I spy strangers in our midst. Prepare to be expelled, weaklings!"

Ironic how Midna and Zant will fight over their home, but will 'team up' when it is threatened. That's how you can describe the battle now. Zant vs Midna and Zant and Midna vs Cia. Even add Zant and Cia vs Midna. Don't expect Midna and Cia to 'join forces'.

Cia and Wizzro defended their base from the two incoming forces, taking out Midna's first. Violent Wizzro had a idea. "All right, I think our base is safe from Midna's goons for now." He said the next part like his plan was a very delicious meal waiting to be eaten. "So let's kill Midna already!"

Cia had been waiting for this. "I'll do the honors, hahaha! Capture her keeps." Easily dispatching Midna's goons in her way, Cia eventually made it to the interior of the Twilight Palace. But it wasn't time to take in the sights. Well, she had some. The gate to Midna's base was locked. She met Wizzro in the North Palace. The eastern gate was closed in it.

"Hm. Locked gate. Should open up if we take the keep, though. Allow me, Mistress."

"Fine." Wizzro created a Michael Bay movie. Summoning large bombs, he rained destruction on the keep. It didn't take long for him to gain it.

"Yeah, that did it!" Now we just have to kill Midna!" Cia flew in anticipation to Midna's location, King's Hall. No king was there.

Midna couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the witch. She dressed not like a lady.

Cia couldn't believe the Princess of Twilight dressed so lightly.

'I definitely dressed better than her.' All we need is a Great Fairy in this.

Midna giggled her famous laugh. It made Cia cring. "You chased me all this way? You must really want to get beaten." The princess then summon a smaller version of the famous mirror. "Guess I can't disappoint you."

Before Cia could react, a large cannon appeared and fired three large blasts. The witch barely dodged it. She returned the favor with three foot stomps, sending purple energy to the princess. Missed.

Imagine a Pokemon battle. Midna attacks first, then Cia attacks back.

Midna summoned and smaller version of a bridge. Two sweeps followed by a slam. Cia was swept, but not smashed. Cia returned by creating a dark circle under Midna. The princess didn't escape the following blast, but she wasn't done yet. Whistling, three wolves came from nowhere, one bigger than the other two. Midna rode the big one and attempted to trampled the witch. Failed, but Cia also did a mistake. Guess who the wolves reminded her of. But she remembered her place and decided to give Midna a blast to the past.

"Link?"

No Midna. Dark Link that somehow looked like this era's Link. "That's my trump card, imp!"

Midna was slighty stunned, but already had a plan. "All right, time to play my trump card." Out of nowhere, Midna's reinforcements appeared in the West Palace and West Keep. Some even appeared near the North Keep. Cia was caught off guard. "Heh. Call it home-turf advantage. I know this place better than you, and now you're stuck!" The two women kept battling as Wizzro took on the new troops.

"Ugh. I'm really getting to hate her, but that was a pretty good move. We could be in trouble if this keeps up."

Cia had just finish summoning another Dark Link when she decided she had enough of Midna. All she needed was an opportunity.

Midna then jumped into the air as she summoned a staff, the same one that she used to destroy the barrier on Hyrule Castle. Her attack missed, and Cia saw opportunity.

"HIYAAAAA!" Large amounts of energy darted from the ground, and Midna was caught in it severely. When the move was over, Cia was standing tall.

"Hahahahaha, looks like the Twilight Princess has fallen again! And what's this? No hero to save her? That must be heartbreaking. I know how you feel." She bent down to the injured princess. "We have that in common. We love him."

"I don't love Link."

"Don't lie, I know you. Matter of fact, for the last two years, you pondered about him each and every day. You wished you hadn't left like you did. You wished you could on his chest, hold his waist, ruffle his hair," Cia closed in on the princess's ear, "Kiss those lips. But unlike you, I have done so to my Link." She laughed as she stood, raising over a slowly saddening Midna. "You want to know what the Hero of Twilight is doing?"

Midna couldn't hide her sadness. "No, don't!"

Cia began to relish her adversary's emotions. "He's probably at Hyrule Castle, looking at his beloved princess. Feeling over his beloved princess. Kissing his beloved princess. Face it, Midna. He will never settled for someone so weak. Like you. He has moved on." And Cia had the touchdown pass ready. She threw it. "And guess what, Princess. He never had feelings for you. Unrequited love hurts, doesn't it."

Midna couldn't hold it in. She was weak. And with her touchdown scored, Cia began to transform the princess.

Zant heard the screams, one so familiar. As if Midna was being turned back into that bug he turned her into two years back. Which meant..."WOOOOOO! Well, well, well, looks like the Twilight Realm is mine!"

"You're welcome." Zant turned to Cia, but she wasn't there. "Hey, Your Twilit Majesty, what would you say to you and me joining forces? Come on, rule the world with me. It'll be fun!"

"Hmph. The world needs but one ruler, and it will be ME! Begone, insolent crystal-gazer!" He gave the order to attack The Dark Forces.

"Oh how disappointing. And here I though we could be friends." She look to Wizzro and nodded. Time to attack once more. "Well, if you're not in the mood to cooperate, I'm afraid I'll have to force you. I hope I don't spoil your nice outfit."

Zantilicious laughed through the telepathy. "Don't be absurd! It would be unseemly for the king to soil his hands. I shall provide you with a suitable...playmate."

Wings flapped. Fire breathed. A dark shadow flew in the everlasting twilight sky.

It was the Twilit Dragon Argorok. Good thing Cia has the hookshot. She definitely is ready for boss fights.

"I shall retire for now, but I look forward to hearing of your imminent and ignominious defeat." Those are some big words. Zant then began his trip to the Fairy Fountain and use a Magic Circle to escape. Cia began to make her way to Argorok as Wizzro attempted to slow Zant down.

How can this battle get any weirder? How about the Princess of Bugs known as Agitha showing up out of nowhere. She appeared in the West Palace.

"How...did I get here? I was chasing a little ladybug and now I'm...lost?" She then saw something shiny. "Oh! What a wonderful key someone dropped! I'd better hang on to it. It probably unlocks something equally wonderful!"

Cia saw and heard the child. "What a strange child. And could that key belong to these doors?"

Cia politely asked for the key. She got it. She then teleported Agitha out of the realm.

Wizzro was finally ready to end it all. "All right, let's go subjugate Zant already!" Witch and wizard raced to the Usurper King.

Cia once again used her most powerful attack, and Wizzro summoned a hand to hold the Twili in place.

"Ugh. You...unhand me, peasant!"

"Come now, Zant. Serve me and I'll let you live. I'll even leave your palace standing. What do you say?"

"Further resistance...would be futile. Fine! I submit quietly."

Cia gave Wizzro a gesture, and the wizard released Zant. "Good boy. Never forget you work for me now."

Princess Zelda walked up the treacherous Death Mountain. Escorted by two Goron guards, the princess was led to the Chief's Room, where the Goron leader was located.

"Princess Zelda, what an honor to have you here! What brings you?"

Zelda smiled. "Thank you, Darunia. It is an honor to be her as well. My presence is simply more than a pleasure walk. I need help."

"Anything for the Princess of Hyrule and the love of my Sworn Brother!"

Zelda's smile grew even bigger as two Poes appeared from behind the large Goron. They began to warped his mind. Cia then appeared and walked to the Goron. "Great job, Wizzro. Or shall I say, Zelda?"

"Hiya ha ha! They'll never suspect a thing!"

She turned to the hypnotized Goron. "Hello, Darunia."

"What is thy bidding, Master."

"Capture Princess Ruto for her traitorous ways to marry my beloved, my dear Darunia."

The Twilight Era Link and Zelda were flabbergasted at the reports. The Eldin Province had apparently vanished, except for Death Mountain. Currently, they stood on their balcony, Hero holding Princess.

"Link?"

"Yea?"

"I just thought of this. Where are the villagers?"

He thought for a moment. "Ordon. It's the harvest festival. I would take you, but I don't want Hyrule Field disappearing on us."

She laughed then pouted. Who knew the most serious looking version of Zelda could do that? "But I wanna go."

He would argue, but he want to go also. "Alright." He began to leave the room.

"Ashei and the others should come."

That's when Link froze. "No. Nooooooo way!

"Why?"

"Because, as King of Link's Hyrule, only the King and Queen shall go to the celebration without Ms. Yeah."

"Link's Hyrule?"

"Everything is mine. Including..." He ran towards her, picking her up and taking her tiara off her head. He laid on top of her on their bed. "You. Property of Link Nohansen the First."

"Down, wolf" Zelda close the gap between them for a few seconds before whispering, "I bet he's proud of you."

"My great-grandfather? Well, a lot of things roll in our family. Good looks, charm, heroic, sexy blue eyes, and we love our princess."

Laughter came forth from her again. "Everyone loves me. Except those councilors of ours."

"Yeah, but I get...exclusives."

"Like what?"

He rose off of her. "Taking the Princess home, of course. Let's go."

As for the Hero of Time and Termina, he was slighty relieved Lake Hylia was gone. He heard Ruto usually roamed there. Plus that despicable Water Temple was in the lake. Two fishes, one water, zero trace.

"Link!" Zelda and Link were in her study. She sat in her chair as her boyfriend rejoiced in the Zora's disappearance.

"What? If you was me, you'll feel my pain." She glared at him. "I mean Ruto is...well, crazy about me. But she got some goods..." He's not helping his case. "You know, for a girl, you surely don't want your competition gone. Many girls are lined up for me. Ruto, Malon, Romani, Nabooru, Cremia, in a weird case Saria. Worst case, I'll marry Impa."

She'll normally laugh, but today wasn't a day. "But?"

He knew he was aggravating he. He liked it when she was angry. "I chose Epona. Loyal, beautiful, and always there for me."

"And?"

A big grin formed on his face. "And what Zelda?"

She gave a big sigh before leaving her desk and walking up to the Hero, staring into his soul. "What. About. Me?"

He smiled even bigger. "What about you?"

She was really irritated with him. "I should hit you through that window!"

"I thought I was in love with Zelda, not Sheik."

"Oh, so you do recognize our love?"

He walked to the door, preparing his escape. "What love?" He zoomed down the hall, angry princess right behind.

Well, I actually did more than I wanted. Wizzro actually got some time to shine, Midna and Zant got theirs, and Cia and gang only have one more chapter to themselves. Next, we start with the heroes final preparations before we head through time once more. I haven't decided whether Skyward Sword or Twilight Princess will start them off, but that chapter shall be up near the end of the week.

As for the theories at the beginning, I used that for story purposes. I don't believe anyone has come up with the Interlopers relationship with Ganondorf or Ilia being related to the Hero of Time.

Compared to last chapter, the two Zelink couples from TP and OoT/MM have not a clue to what happened or anything happening before it. I know that TP Zelink, based off the game, is very hard to bring evidence to it compared to every other game with both Link and Zelda in it, but we always make it work.

Can I say Zant is an awesome villain? Only if he could return. I like Ganondorf, but Ghirahim and Zant are better villains. Bring them back once more!

Where is The Legend of Ghirahim anyway. Get on it Nintendo!
