"That stupid human!" Nayru snickered as she showed off a silver book to her sisters. "We got her 'laptop', and now she's going to regret the choices she's made with her fanfic."
"So," Farore wondered. "How exactly are we going to mess with this fanfic? At this point, Zelda is on her way to learn the song."
"I suggest turning everyone into cats!" Din voted. "Or better yet, let's really mess things up and make it into-
"Nah, that's not good enough." Nayru shook her head and began to think.
"...Gender swap?" Farore asked.
"Isn't this fanfic technically a gender swap?" Din asked.
Nayru snapped her fingers. "I got it!" She exclaimed. "We shall go back to a point when things were not in a matter of 'life-or-death'. We shall do the one thing that everyone hates the most- the one thing that would make anyone upset beyond all reason!"
She summoned up what looked like the end result of a wii-mote that mated with a cell phone with actual buttons and no touch screens.
Din's eyes widened. "Sister- that's not-?!"
Nayru let out an open mouthed grin and eagerly nodded, as if the answer was stupid, yet awesome at the same time.
Farore grimaced. "Oh... this is going to be bad, isn't it?"
Nayru added. "All we need this to have one excuse, in a way that will abandon any thought or concern, to commence this operation."
Chapter 13: Traversing through universes
It was a good day at the Lumpy Pumpkin, for today Zelda was singing and playing her harp for all the patrons in the room. Of course, she was only paying for tabs, but she didn't mind as she was enjoying herself, and everyone else was listening in and they were having a good time too.
Except for Cawlin and Strich, who were sitting in a corner. The former was scowling at Zelda from where he sat, while the other was looking at the chandelier in great interest.
"What kind of fool would place something like that up there?" Strich wondered as he eyed the heart shaped container that was perched on the chandelier like forbidden fruit. "It's a temptation begging to happen."
"Ugh," Cawlin growled as Zelda started a new verse in her song. "What is it with girls liking attractive men? What about guys like us? I'm caring, and considerate, and I don't mess around in class like that Link-"
"You need to stop whining over Karane." Strich advised as he kept his gaze.
"Look at Zelda over there!" Cawlin snapped and pointed an accusing finger at the singer, who just so happened to be standing on the top of the table under the chandelier, for some reason. "She's got so many guys trailing after her, and even though they got the looks, they don't have the brains! First Groose, then Link- and then there's that guy!"
He pointed to someone in the crowd, and this time Strich paid attention to the person who was as tall as he was. The person in question was a strange being garbed in tight fitting white clothing under an odd red cloak (a rather good looking cloak, in his opinion) and he had white hair and skin like pale ash.
"Who is this guy?!" Cawlin demanded. "The day after Link disappears, he shows up and gives Zelda 'private lessons', while she runs off to who knows where. And this is still going on, even after Groose is out of the picture! Heck, even her pops seems uncomfortable whenever anyone tries to bring him up! I say he's either a stalker or her boyfriend."
Strich looked at the enigma in the crowd- it was true that he was listening to Zelda's music, and seemed content, but he couldn't see traces of anything that remotely hinted at romantic desire in the man. He seemed pleased with Zelda... pleased and happy with her... never mind, it wasn't that important to Strich.
"Leave it alone Cawlin." Strich warned. "And I don't think that guy is into her like-
"That's it!" Cawlin shot up. "I need to vent right here-"- he pointed to the ground- "right now-" He pointed again. "And defend the honor of my fellow rejected brethren!"
Strich let out a quiet snort as the song concluded.
Everyone cheered for the headmaster's daughter, who gracefully curtseyed in appreciation. She turned to her companion and began walking towards him, when a voice shouted over the cheering.
"YOU!"
All eyes turned towards Cawlin who stomped his way towards Zelda, while Strich casually watched from his spot.
"This won't end well," Strich commented with a quiet laugh. "Heh, heh."
"Uh, hey Cawlin!" Zelda awkwardly waved to the stout classmate.
"Why is it that girls like you can't tell a good guy from a lame one?!" Cawlin demanded as he stopped in front of the table. "Why would Karane go for Pipit instead of me?"
Zelda looked uncomfortable. "Uh... Cawlin, I don't know how I can answer that. I don't think I-
"And look at how many guys you got coming after you!" Crawlin pointed his accusing finger at Zelda once more. "Groose had been drooling over you for years and he's a real dunce! Then you have Link and he's always sleeping in and day dreaming! And then-"
He pointed at the ashen faced man. "You got this guy! What's his deal?! Is he the next in line or something?"
The ashen faced man raised what should have been a visible eyebrow at the stout fellow, but then let out an amused snort as he ran a hand over his face and over the top of his head.
In turn, Zelda also raised an eyebrow at the stranger with a smirk that was crossed between bemusement and humor before turning back to Cawlin.
"Ghirahim is not my boyfriend, he my sw-" She pulled a strange face. "-wwwwah, uh he's really my personal instructor." She quickly explained.
"That's bull!" Cawlin spat! "Groose and Link are missing, and your going off doing Hylia knows what with this guy!"
"Young man." Ghirahim stepped in and gave Cawlin a rather chilling glare that made everyone who saw it back off: the longing for blood was shining in those eyes. "She has been through quite a bit, so if I were wise, I would cease your complaints and leave the premises immediately."
"Ah, can it Debbie, I wasn't speaking to you!" Cawlin snapped back at the other man.
Those who saw Ghirahim's face saw that something in him snapped. Those fortunate few knew that it was time to back away as fast as possible as the man's gaze changed from stunned to enraged.
With an inhuman snarl, Ghirahim grabbed Cawlin by the front of his shirt, and hurled him towards the room over the balcony. The impact Cawlin made from smacking against the railings made the chandelier rock and swing over the head of Zelda.
Something suddenly fell of the chandelier and landed in the crook between Zelda's stomach, and the harp she cradled against it.
Everyone realized what was about to happen next and made a run for it. All except Ghirahim, who, without warning, bolted onto the table, snatched Zelda up, and hurled her out of the way before the chandelier made impact.
But once the two hit the floor, they suddenly disappeared in a flash of sparks.
-?-
"All I'm saying is, you can't dump ice water over everything you see!" Marty the Waddle-Dee waved his hands as he talked to Pikachu, Ness, Pit, Kirby, and a koopa known to some as Jay-Jay... who was also a close friend of Marty.
"Anyway," Marty added. "You can't throw water over a charmander right? It's tail needs to stay lit, right? So, you can't just challenge someone to an ice bucket challenge willy-nilly!"
"How did this conversation start again?" Ness asked Jay-Jay.
"We talked about how Falco challenged Mario, Captain Falcon, and Samus to the ice bucket challenge, since Fox refused to do it." Jay-Jay explained.
"Oh." Ness realized. He turned back to Marty- who was still talking about the hazards of the ice bucket challenge- as a flash of sparks erupted behind him, and out came two mysterious figures.
"Ugh," Zelda pushed herself off Ghirahim and sat back up. "What just happened?" She pulled out an object that looked like a white rectangle, with a bunch of buttons. "What is this? Hey!" She glared at Ghirahim. "You know that the owner is going to make us pay for the damages!"
"That stout idiot with the annoying voice was asking for it." Ghirahim groaned as he sat up. "If you ask me, he needed something more than simple rejection to-"
"OH SWEET PALUTENA!"
Zelda and Ghirahim turned towards the group of smashers, with Pit being the one who was pointing at Ghirahim and looking as if he had seen a horrifying movie.
"N-no, s-s-stay away from us!" The angel stammered as he slowly backed away. "I don't want- y-you kept your tongue away from me, you creature of darkness!"
Ghirahim and Zelda only stared in confusion. "What are you blathering about?" Ghirahim sighed in annoyance at the angel. "I've never seen you in all of-
"I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!" Pit screamed in terror and ran down the hall as fast as his legs could carry him.
"Sorry about him!" Kirby apologized, "He just... he hasn't recovered from the incident at the tournament a few days ago."
"Oh yeah," Marty laughed. "Boy, was he in for a surprise when you-"
"Where are we?" Zelda asked. "One moment, we were at the Lumpy Pumpkin, the next we're here... and I have this for some reason." She held up the odd object.
"Oh sweet!" Marty ran towards Zelda to examine the remote. "You got a trans-dimensional world hopping gadget doo-hicky thing?! NICE!"
Everyone in the room was confused.
"They say that these babies are used to guard the balance of our worlds, to keep out any paradoxes, bugs, time issues, etc." Marty explained. "You just accidentally landed in our world, that's all."
Zelda and Ghirahim looked at the remote in confusion. "...That... makes sense, I suppose?" Zelda wondered.
"Think of it as fan fiction dot net!" Marty added. "You just input your world, era, title of your game, and presto!"
Everyone except the newcomers understood this somehow.
"So, for example." Marty quickly swiped the gadget and pressed a few buttons. "You can go to this version of this world-here!" He handed the remote back to Zelda. "Oh, and by my estimate, you need to type in 'Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword' to get home- nnless your from one of those weird fanfics."
"Uh, why not just send them home now Marty?" Jay-Jay asked.
"BECAUSE I'M WORTH IT!" Marty cheered and pressed a button on the gadget-remote. He quickly leapt out of the way before the two disappeared in a flash of sparks, and left the others watching on in awe.
"...Say," Ness finally spoke moments later. "I thought the assist trophy characters had the day off today. I don't know what he does during his free time, but that seemed a little strange."
"Pika," Pikachu confirmed.
"And that girl," Kirby added. "She looked an awful lot like Zelda, didn't she?"
"Yes." Jay-Jay added but what he thought was... Bowser doesn't pay me enough.
"...Nah, it's not worth finding out." Ness shrugged. "Besides, I have a bad feeling about getting involved."
"Aw, where is your sense of fun?!" Marty mopped.
-?-
Instead of home, the two landed in what looked like the set up of a barricade in what seemed to be a town square.
When we say barricade, we mean, toss a bunch of chairs, wood, tables, and what else could be found in a large pile, while all round you while people were shouting, "Vive la France!" Or something like that.
"Where did that leafless kwiki send us?!" Ghirahim yelled over the noise. "This place looks like it's going to be a battlefield at any second!"
"Mon Dieu! Marius, is that you?!"
The two turned to see a girl dressed in men's clothing, with a cap and overcoat that was far too large for her frail looking frame and she was rushing towards the two. She looked at Zelda and gasped. "Cosette?! What are you doing here?!"
Zelda was confused. "Uh...who?"
Ghirahim noted how the girl seemed annoyed at the notion that Zelda would be this 'Cosette.' "She's not this 'Cosette' person." Ghirahim explained.
The girl was now surprised at Ghirahim. "Ah...oh," She seemed disappointed. "You sound an awful lot like Marius, for some reason."
"...Interesting." Ghirahim boredly replied as he glanced down to Zelda as she began fiddling with the remote.
"Skyward Sword?" She wondered out loud as she input the words, but her finger accidentally pressed the wrong button.
The two disappeared and left a very confused french girl behind.
-?-
"Made a mistake." Zelda glanced around: the scenery seemed normal, but something seemed off. "Where on-
"Well, excuuuuuuuuuse me, princess!" A male voice echoed off in the distance.
Zelda suddenly went pale, panicked, and quickly pressed buttons
-?-
"What was that for?" Ghirahim wondered as he looked at Zelda. The poor girl looked stressed out.
"I- I don't know!" She stammered. "It's just... something inside me wanted to run as fast as I can when I heard those words. Come to think of it-" She glared at Ghirahim "None of this would have happened if you hadn't tossed Cawlin against the wall."
"He called me 'Debbie'!" Ghirahim angrily protested. "Why?! Is that his poor attempt at a nickname, or an insult?!"
"I don't know! He's probably still bitter about Karane!"
"You're too sweet on those who don't deserve your pity!"
"And you're too harsh on those who don't need your outbursts!"
"Are you saying that I'm too emotional?!"
"Maybe I am! Are you going to push me off a bridge for that?!"
And so, after half an hour of pointless arguing, they finally were able to calm down.
Ghirahim turned his head. "...Mistress I think we should go."
Zelda followed his gaze, to see two boys- both looked like Link, except one was garbed in purple, and the other in black and they were getting... intimate.
A soothing female voice suddenly spoke out and narrated what was happening:
The feeling of his tongue in his mouth was sweeter than the tartest of berries he had ever tasted in all of his years. He could feel it-
"Maybe we should leave them alone."
With the press of the button, they left the intimate scene behind them.
-?-
"...Ghirahim... are we-?"
"...I'm afraid so."
The two had turned into cats, with Zelda looking more like a yellowish orange colored short haired kitten with green and pink ribbons tied around her neck, while her companion was a white, short haired cat with a red collar and his left ear looked as if something had bit part of it off.
And both could still speak somehow.
"This is getting ridiculous. Hang on a second-" Zelda was about to paw at the remote when she felt something bite the back of her... back. It didn't hurt, put she was still puzzled as she found herself lifted off the ground.
The Ghirahim kitty had a happy time carrying the Zelda kitty by the scruff of her neck for a minute. All while humming (purring?) his 'theme song' as he called it.
Admit it: it's adorable.
-?-
"Nooooo ooooone- fights like our Groose, knock out lights like our Groose!
"When it comes to tests, no one cheats like our Groose!"
"For no one's as burly and brawny!"
"As you see, I've got biceps to spare!"
"Not a bit of him's scraggly or scrawny!"
"So you punks try to face me if you daaaaaare!"
Zelda and Ghirahim looked on at the scene between Groose, Cawlin, Strich, and other bar flies and patrons that were singing in a tavern and praising the red head with the majestic pompadour.
It was clearly not the Lumpy Pumpkin.
"He has a surprisingly good baritone," Was all Zelda could say.
"I'd like to leave this place as soon as possible." Ghirahim winced. "I find this all rather too... masculine for my tastes."
-?-
"Hey, we're back!" Zelda perked up as she and Ghirahim found themselves in a familiar room. "I think this is the Fire Sanctuary!"
"ZELDA?!"
The two found themselves face to face with Link, who was garbed in a normal knight academy tunic, holding a sword similar to the white sword and a shield that Zelda used to own... and he was facing Ghirahim... and both of them seemed shocked to see the other two.
"Why is there two of you?!" Link turned to the Ghirahim in front of him while pointing a sword at the other one by Zelda. "And how did you capture Zelda?!"
"To be honest sky child... I have no idea." Link's Ghirahim looked at Zelda in interest, but then he scowled. "It's not the Spirit Maiden though. Her face is the same, but the essence is different."
"But on the other hand," He seemed giddy when he glanced to the other Ghirahim. "It's not every day that you see yourself without a reflective surface!"
"Likewise!" The Ghirahim next to Zelda waved to his clone with a dramatic flourish. "I do admit that I look rather impressive from this angle!"
This did not surprise Link or Zelda.
"That aside," Zelda rolled her eyes. "I think we are in a world where Link took up my role... which means I'm..." She realized the answer and groaned. "Fantastic,"
"One question to my deviously charming look alike." Zelda's Ghirahim asked the one facing Link as he eyed the sword in the latter's hand. "Are you an ally, or an opponent to this young man?"
"He is a thorn in my side." The other sneered at the boy. "This sky child has been aggravating to no end!"
Ghirahim looked at the sword in confusion. "Then who is the spirit residing in that sword?" He asked Link.
"Uh..." Link, though confused, glanced at his sword and held it out. Something came out of it in a flash of light, and when the light cleared, the spirit inside was revealed.
"Master, while this is indeed Ghirahim, my indications suggests that he is of another time stream." The familiar being spoke. "However-"
"Are you serious?!" Ghirahim snarled at Fi. "Why did your version of Hylia think it was a good idea to ever let you be the hero's companion?"
Zelda was dumbfounded at the idea. Link was understandably confused. Fi made no sign of emotion. The other Ghirahim just watched in amusement.
"Hang on a moment." Zelda inputed something in the remote. "We'll be out of here in a moment, just- wait!"
The two disappeared, leaving the other three in a cloud of what would be appropriately called the 'what just happened?' cloud.
The remaining Ghirahim wondered out loud "Where was I... oh yes!" He turned to the side and his cloak flapped in the air. "A mischievous boy like you needs to be dealt with firmly."
-?-
"Kitties," HolyMaiden24 moaned as she sat on her couch looking at cats on her phone. "I want a kitty so bad... I Wuv youuu kitties!" She sang like a drunkard. "I wants a kitt-teh!... And a boyfriend." She mopped. "Where is my life going?!"
Right then and there, two unexpected characters appeared in front of her.
"HOLY-!" HolyMaiden24 bounced off the couch and ran for dear life out of the living room.
Zelda looked around the room, failing to notice the video games under the tv. "At this rate we'll never-"
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" HolyMaiden24 came running back into the large room with a good sized sword in her hand. "I MEAN IT I'LL-"
The girl immediately stopped when she noticed who was in her house.
"...Oh... crap." She lowered her sword. "I wasn't expecting this."
"Don't I know you?" Zelda looked at the other blonde girl in the room. "You look-"
"No, no you don't!" She quickly denied. "I would like to know why you're in my hooouuu- what's that?" She noticed the remote and then growled. "...Oh, hell no."
"So you also recognize the strange contraption?" Ghirahim asked.
"I do. I know where it came from." HolyMaiden24 snarled. "I found a threatening message on my laptop, which mysteriously vanished the next day... and now I'm piecing the puzzle together."
She stormed up to the two and held her hand out. "Here, let me fix this-"
-Somewhere strange-
"SHE KNOWS!" Din panicked.
"QUICK, SABOTAGE THE DEVICE!" Farore cried out.
-?-
"...Uh," HolyMaiden24 scratched her head. "This isn't right?"
She turned to her new traveling companions. "I owe you guys an apology. I promise that when this is all ov-" She glanced over their heads and her eyes widened.
"Oh my gosh, is that me as a kid?!"
Sure enough, it was a pre-school aged version of the authoress. She was watching her dad play A Link to the Past, while he spoke out what was written in the dialogue box.
"Awww... ugh." As much as she wanted to revisit this memory, there was more important things to worry about then the era of childhood and 16 bit-graphics. "Hang on a sec, let me try again."
-?-
HolyMaiden24 looked up. "Uh..." She began to blush.
The other two turned to see... Ghirahim with someone that looked like Link dressed in his 'Spirited Warrior' garbs and armor.
"Did you send us back into the past?" Ghirahim asked. "Because that is clearly Hylia and..."
His voice trailed off as his duplicate approached Hylia and...
The feeling of his tongue in his mouth was sweeter than the tartest of berries he had ever tasted in all of his years. He could feel it-
"No, no, no, no, no, no, NO!" HolyMaiden24 shouted as the hypnotic scene played out before them. "I did not give consent to this!"
The angry authoress was neglectful of the fact that she actually was considering writing a yaoi between Ghirahim and Hylia for the sheer amusement. Considering that she claims that she is not a fan of yaoi, one has to wonder-
"YOU'RE CLAIMS ARE NULL, STUPID NARRATOR!" HolyMaiden24 snapped.
And you are a shut in, writing a fanfic, instead of doing far more productive things with your time.
"THAT'S IT! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU-
-?-
"-AND YOU SUCK!" the red faced blonde gulped in the air, and collapsed to the ground.
"My jaw." She moaned and messaged it.
Zelda glanced at the device in her hand- she had taken it back from the other blonde and had taken on the initiative to go somewhere else. "I'm actually glad we skipped over that."
"...Mistress." Ghirahim looked around their surroundings. "Where exactly did you send us?"
"Actually, I don't know." Zelda admitted. "The sky is below us, and there's... you hear the music too, don't you?"
"I do."
"Oh no,"
They turned to the other girl, who seemed to know where they are. "Oh no." She turned towards Zelda, with a look of horror mixed with a dash of 'we are screwed' thrown in and a pinch of 'You've got to be kidding me'. "Do you have any idea where you sent us?!"
"No, you foolish girl." Ghirahim sneered. "You're the one who knows exactly what's going on so-
A strange sound, like something materializing echoed around them, and something appeared behind HolyMaiden24. The girl was quick to turn around- only to come face to face of what appeared to be a statue of a familiar green garbed boy, with a face that twisted a grin with a sneer.
The girl's jaw dropped... but then she grew angry at the statue.
"YOU PEICE OF S***!" She yelled at it. "YOU DARE MAKE AN APPEARANCE IN FRONT OF ME?! YOU RUINED THE LEGACY OF MAJORA'S MASK, YOU *******! YOU THINK YOUR THE SCARIEST THING IN EXISTENCE, BUT I KNOW YOUR ONE TRUE WEAKNESS! I JUST HAVE TO SAY THE WORDS, AND YOU'LL BE THE ONE FLEEING IN TERROR!"
"You know," Ghirahim interrupted. "As amusing as this is, there are more tactful ways to threaten a statue."
"THIS IS NOT JUST ANY STATUE!" HolyMaiden24 snapped at him. "THIS IS- oh!" She then properly noticed him... and her anger turned into thinking, which turned into an 'I got a brilliant idea' face.
"Come here for a second." She gestured a finger to Ghirahim.
When the sword spirit complied (with curiosity) she whispered something into his ear for a couple moments.
"And it will sound a lot more creepy if it comes from you, got it?"
"...Yes?"
HolyMaiden24 giggled evilly. "This ought to be good."
Ghirahim turned towards the statue. He couldn't believe what he was about to do, but if it helped to speed things along, then so be it.
"If you insist on pursuing us to the ends of the earth, then I am afraid I must remind you of your failures." He began, in a sinister tone. "The one who, not only avoided your destruction, but made you into a cowering simpleton, thus proving that, in the end, you are only an inferior speck of soot."
And then, he issued the key word:
"Xanuzamaki."
There was a silent moment.
Suddenly, the statue began shaking... and then with a 'pop' sound, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"I knew that would work." HolyMaiden24 grinned. "And now..."
-The fourth wall-
"So," HolyMaiden24 glared at the three goddesses. "You dare hijack my fanfic?"
"HOW DID YOU GET HERE?!" Farore was stumped. "That thing was rigged-"
"So that we couldn't get to the correct worlds?" the girl raised an eyebrow before wagging a finger. "Yeah, let's just make it short and say that we went through a couple noodle incidents to escape from your control."
"So, anyway I remembered something important: yes, I am not a goddess like you. However, I understand that you are not quite powerful enough."
"Come again?!" Din snarled.
The fan fic writer continued. "You are the deities of Hyrule. I can't ignore that. But in the cosmic universe, there is one whose rank overpowers all lifeforms. One so powerful, that not even you were able to exist without it. It is a person that all religions... and atheists... acknowledge as the true answer. That person has a power that gave joy, frustration, awe, heartache, memories, and so much more. That force binds everyone together... and that force only has one name."
And then, she grinned.
"Shigeryu Miyamoto."
It was a name that made the goddesses freeze with fear.
"Ah, I see that it worked. I realize that if I say the word, I can bring him here, in less than a minute or your money back. I admit that my fan fic didn't start on the right foot, and that you were a humorous idea to include, but if I need to establish order by 'jumping the shark' then so be it."
She held her hand up, and the laptop magically reappeared in her hand.
"So, are you guys going to let me finish this fan fic in peace, or will I have to jump the shark?"
Was there a climatic stare down? Tense hesitation?
Not really.
"You know what," Nayru sighed. "Forget it. I see this went too far south."
"I agree." Din added.
"We promise to leave everything be." Farore gave in. "Just... ugh. We should go annoy some other fan fic writer- there's plenty more in this endless sea on the internet."
And with that, the goddesses disappeared in a puff of smoke, logic, and for whatever plot convenience necessary.
"Well, this was a complete waste of everyone's time."
HolyMaiden24 bit her lip as she turned to face the remaining two people in the room.
"We were put though multiple worlds at the mercy of divine beings." Ghirahim looked irritated beyond words. "Personally, I've had enough with what we had to go through in our world."
The girl couldn't help but quietly think Unless you're in Hyrule Warriors... man, I need to shut up about that.
"Sure," HolyMaiden24 opened up the laptop and raised a free hand over it. "Do you guys want to forget everything that ever happened before you go?"
"I can't believe I'm saying this, but yes." Zelda pleaded. "There was a lot I want to forget- especially... that." She shuddered at the memory of the phrase from several worlds ago.
"...Figures." HolyMaiden24. "But, you know, it could of been much worse... well, we got close to that, but you get the gist... though... let's see... you pulled a Phantom of the Opera on the chandelier when this occurred, so..."
And so, she typed something into the laptop and everything returned to it's proper place.
HolyMaiden24 sighed. "I wish I could apologize on the reader's behalf for putting up with the sheer stupidity that they had to endure."
And once more, the authoress IQ was questioned, by the mere fact that you were reading this at the exact moment.
"SHUT UP!" HolyMaiden24 snapped at the voice. "QUIT FOLLOWING ME, YAOI WORLD NARRATOR! Ugh... I wish there was a better way to conclude my appearance here...Uh... thank you guys for reading this far. The next few chapters left may take longer, but I hope the quality will be better than the last few chapters."
-the true world-
Zelda and her companion returned to their world, back in the Lumpy Pumpkin. Both were relatively unharmed, but they still had their memories intact for at least another couple minutes.
"Ugh, I'm glad to be back." Zelda rubbed her temples. "Could this day get possibly any worse?"
"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"
Zelda glanced up to see that everyone in the Lumpy Pumpkin was looking at the two of them. The disbelief came from the owner of the Pumpkin, who was pointing at them... and the chandelier was now on top of the table.
"YOU GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW YOU TWO!"
Suddenly, Zelda wished that they had thousands of rupees to pay for the damages... (She could have spent it on upgrades, but it was risky when you have an easily jealous sword in your possession) or at least that they been taken somewhere else...
"...All we need now," Zelda groaned as she slapped her face. "Is one more completely stupid thing to happen."
"Mistress, I'm afraid I have something crucial to tell you."
Zelda peered through her fingers at Ghirahim, who looked embarrassed as well as annoyed. "Yes Ghirahim?"
"...I sense that you need to change the batteries in your wii mote."
Silence.
And then Zelda responded with a flat "What?"
Cawlin survived, but sustained a bad back injury that lasted for days. Anyway...
Smash Bros world: Marty comes from my fan fic 'To Touch the Stars' which is a crack fic between Zelda and his boss (again, crack fic). Jay-Jay was only alluded to... It's not recommended that you read it, to understand anything that goes on. Heck, it doesn't have to be in that exact universe.
Les Miserables world: To be more specific, it's the Shojo Cosette anime (still need to properly see an episode), where Ghirahim apparently shares a voice actor with Marius (Anri Katsu... who, in Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, is also apparently the japanese VA for Greed's dog chimera henchmen- or at least I think I read that right.)... and Cosette has some physical resemblance to Zelda...Oh now I just realized the unintentional connection between his red and black DLC outfit from Hyrule Warriors and that one song...and I just filled your mind with music video parodies, didn't I?
Cartoon world:...no comment. I've been trying to finally fulfill a goal of watching all thirteen episodes (and the Captain N episodes that Zelda was featured in too.)
Yaoi world featuring Vio and Shadow: I was going to use Male!Hylia and Ghirahim first, but it would have spoiled an opportunity...
Cats world:... Really in a cat mood lately. This also influenced this chapter to a good extent.
Zelda themed Beauty and the Beast World: Couldn't resist the internet's most popular comparison. Lyrics were modified to fit the character- neither of which I own (And apologies to Lyricist Howard Ashman, who gave us wonderful lyrics to some of our favorite Disney songs). Also, Beauty and the Beast is my favorite disney film, and it's tempting to do a Beauty and the Beast themed fan fic with Zelda elements.
The REAL Skyword Sword world: ...Speaks for itself.
The exact residence of HolyMaiden24 (like I'll ever reveal that online):... no comment. I do own a sword for protection though.
Childhood memory: true story.
The yaoi fan fic that might never exist:... well, at least I tickled your fancy, right?
Ben Drowned's world: The only person who could turn the evil spawn into a big joke IS Xanuzamaki. I won't spoil anything, but... I'll just say go watch Xanuzamaki's Mask Abridged. You won't regret it.
...And that's basically it. Now I can go back to the serious business, and I promise there won't be any inappropriate jokes... because you know what to expect in the last act.
