Chapter 6- Villains Abound (That's right. It's time for the big bads to shine. Oh, they'll get to fight the Heroes eventually, but now is not the time. Because, they too, are freaked out. Read on.) (Also, something gets talked about near the end of this chapter that is...well...natural for women. It's going to become a problem, of course, and it has to be addressed as soon as possible. If you do not want to read that section, then stop before the "meanwhile", and go to the next chapter. This "section" will continue on to the next chapter. Ah, what am I saying-you all have your desired reading material. ENJOY.)

The Darke Tower (Past)
Ganondorf, to say the least, had a right to know what in Hyrule was going on above his head. For one thing, he was hearing what sounded like two beasts screaming at each other. Well, more like roaring, but still.
When he made up his mind to go up the stairs, he took his famed Trident of Power with him, just in case. What he saw actually shocked him quite a bit.
He was staring at a massive Dragon, his white scales stained crimson by blood.
While in another corner of the room, a gigantic, blue furred beast was nursing his wounds.
"...Who are you and what are you doing in my tower?"
To his surprise, the Dragon reared up in front of him and hissed. "So glad you could join us, Hanson. I require your assistance."
Then the blue furred beast spoke. "...So around this time was the name change? Interesting..."
"...What name change?"
"Well, before the Hanson's, our last name was Dragmire."
Ganondorf turned to the Dragon. "What kind of assistance?"
The Dragon hissed with glee. "Would you like to kill off Courage? ALL of them?"
"...All?"
The Dragon hissed again. "Yes...in the meantime...do call me...Cornelius...and call that beast over there Connor...but the real question is, what is your name?"
Of course, he was a bit reluctant to just give away his first name, but the other two had done it. "...Call me Xavier."
In another part of the vast universe...
"...So you're me? And I'm you? How does this make any sense?!"
His counterpart stared back at him. "...That is a very good question...you are a Warlock, right?"
"Yes. Are you?"
"Of course. By the way, what is your title, I have to call you something."
Said Ganondorf crossed his arms. "King of Twilight."
"...Interesting..."
In YET ANOTHER part of the Universe...
He was staring at a woman. Onyx felt a bit uncomfortable at this. "...Where are we?"
The woman gazed around her. "...In some sort of tower, I'd imagine...but whoever lives here has a very high esteem of themselves..."
The Darke Tower
"...So...you'll summon the others here...and then we can get started?"
Cornelius nodded. "Yes. I see great promise in both of you. Your hatred for the Forester Clan runs deep, I can see that...but I do have one exception-leave the girl to me."
"...Who?"
"There is a female shapeshifter traveling with the Heroes. See these scars? She gave them to me-I must have my revenge."
Just then, various other villains from across the board appeared in the room.
It took them a while to get settled down. Then, introductions were made.
There were several Ganons and Ganondorfs, two shapeshifters who went by the names of Veran and Onyx, a Wizard named Agahnim, various forms of a sorcerer named Vaati, and various other villains. Quite a few of them were insane.
Which, of course, they fit right in immediately.
Then Fudge told the other villains which Era the Heroes were going to first. What he said shocked all of them. "Connor...good news...you get to go home."
They would go to the Era of Magic. (Might be changed in the near future...)
Meanwhile...
On one hand, Derek was relived that his friend was alright. On the other, he was slowly realizing that maybe it was a bad idea for her to be here.
It had been a few hours since Lauren had found the others, and now her and Derek were off by themselves, trying to figure out why Cornelius returned now, instead of before.
"He has to have some kind of motive-he's had one each time, so what's it this time?"
Lauren was currently pacing back and forth in front of Derek, who was sitting up against a tree cleaning his sword.
Derek thought now would be the best time to tell her. "You do know that it might be bad to stay here with us, right?"
Lauren stiffened, and slowly turned to face Derek. "And what would that reason be?"
In answer, Derek put down his sword, got to his feet, and put his hands on her shoulders. "I'm going to be blunt with you, okay?"
She nodded. "...It's because of something that happens once a month." There. He had said it.
In response, her eyes slowly widened. "...I hadn't even...thought about that..."
"Well, it is going to happen at least once, right?"
Lauren nodded. "I should have thought about this before I showed up, huh?"
Derek let go of her and began walking towards the main clearing. Lauren had to run to catch up with him.
"Where are we going?"
"The others want to know you better. Besides, I'm thinking that Nate's secretly a wizard, but I can't really be sure. Perhaps you can test him?"
The Witch grinned. "Just watch me."
It's been a while, huh? I'm also working on chapter seven as well. If you have any questions, PM me. Oh, and I just discovered the forums, too...
