BGM: Eldin Volcano (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)
"I could go around, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea… aaaagh… those archers make me nervous…" Scrapper said as a portal opened up near him as he turned to see Lana running in along with Link, Fi, Weiss, Groose and Mine. "Took ya long enough!"
"It would've been easier if you went through the portal." Lana said.
"You didn't warn me about it!" Scrapper pointed out. "Plus, I don't trust portals… they might damage my systems."
Lana sweatdropped. "Scaredy cat…" She mumbled.
"Okay, it's no big deal. You just needed to give him directions." Weiss said. "You see, we need you to go to the top of the volcano."
"THE TOP?!" Scrapper yelled in disbelief. "Nuh-uh! No way! This thing is far too heavy for me to carry to the top."
"...What?' But you carried this all the way from Faron Woods." Mine pointed out. "You flew up into the sky, right?"
"Yes. Went through the cloud barrier and came down at this junction. Why do you ask?"
"You carried that through the sky… did you have any problems then?"
"No. But now I'm having issues since this is really really heavy."
"...Okay, so maybe you need a break then." Weiss said.
"If I take a break, my hands will be too tired to even pick it back up! I'm committed by this point!"
Weiss sighed, pinching the bridge of her nose. "Right…" I should've just had Manaphy launch a Whirlpool in that frog's mouth…
"What's going on?" A voice asked as Cia approached them, she then looked at Scrapper and then at Death Mountain before she connected the dots. "...Oh."
"There seems to be no way around it. We will have to climb Eldin Volcano in order to get to the Fire Sanctuary." Fi said.
"Can't you just portal there?" Cia asked.
"He doesn't trust it as he thinks it'll fry his circuitry or something." Lana explained.
Cia sweatdropped while giving Scrapper a "seriously?" look. "You gotta be kidding me…"
"Welp. Might as well take care of these boneheads. Shouldn't be too tough." Groose said.
"Famous last words." Link said, reading his bow.
"Bah. Only pessimists believe in that!" Groose said proudly. "Let's knock these clowns out!"
"I'll be right by Mistress Fi's side, even if she's with Master Shortpants." Scrapper said.
"Soooooo, where'd you go with Ganon?" Lana asked as they walked off while Link, Groose, Weiss and Mine slashed or sniped the enemies.
"Would you believe me if I said we gave Akame dark magic?"
"Oh, that sounds fuuuuuuu- WAIT WHAT?!" Lana yelled. "Ganondorf gave Akame dark magic… and you helped him?"
"He insisted." Cia rubbed the back of her head. "He told me he could take it from there after I gave her a boost too."
"Mmm…" Lana folded her arms, casually sniping a few Fire Keese with lightning with just her fingertip. "On the one hand, Ganondorf mellowed out when Master Hand showed him Gerudo Town and his fellow Gerudo are thriving, so he's not totally cruel. On the OTHER hand, I know a certain timeline where this can go horribly wrong. We could be looking at a potential Sapphire Onyx 2.0!"
"I thought the same, and considering Akame has a scorpion problem… mmm, but on the other hand, she's not as desperate to get rid of him like Ruby, or in this case, Sapphire, did with Dark Ruby." Cia said. "So this could be a good thing…? Maybe? He didn't give her some of the Triforce of Power though, so that's a bonus."
My Triforce of Power… Lana thought with a soft grumble as they approached the shortcut after Mine scored a headshot against a Moblin.
"Alright, up we go." Weiss said.
"Wait, HUH?! I can't fly up there!" Scrapper exclaimed.
"Why not?" Mine asked.
"I don't do well against wind!"
"But that will carry you up! The wind will go through your propellor and it will cause you to fly high into the air! We'll get to the Fire Sanctuary a lot faster!" Cia pointed out.
"But this thing is HEAVY! It's gonna weigh me down!"
"Just get in there!" Cia said, her patience already running thin with Scrapper.
"Nuh-uh!"
A cross vein appeared on Cia's forehead. "Fi, for the love of Hylia, just show this little asshole your feet or something!"
Fi stared at Cia, tilting her head. "I do not understand. What purpose would that do?"
"It'll be a good motivator!"
"...By showing him my feet? I do not follow."
"What's going on here?" Groose asked as Weiss and Mine whispered in his ear, as even Link got curious.
"People get off by that? Of all things?" Link whispered.
"Gross. That's too much even for me." Groose shook his head. "I ain't a degenerate, thank you very much."
"My data indicates that only unsavory individuals are motivated by feet. This logic does not work."
Cia let out an exasperated groan. "You gotta be shitting me…" She mumbled under her breath.
"Guess we're going the long way around…" Weiss mumbled as they started to walk/fly away, all the while Mine was behind them with an idea circling about her head.
I wonder… Mine thought as she aimed Pumpkin directly at Scrapper, putting in some lightning Dust. "Hey, Bolt Brain."
"Yes?"
"Say cheese."
"Eh?" Scrapper turned around. "What exactly do you-"
The electric bullet struck him in the face. "BZZZZZT!"
"What was that for?" Groose wondered.
"An experiment."
"Hoo! Never do that again…" Scrapper said. "...Hold on. Suddenly I feel a lot more… rejuvenated! Like I can fly high with this thing!" He exclaimed as he flew back toward the shortcut and went up. "WAHOOOOOO!"
"...You recharged his batteries? Aaaagh, why didn't I think of that?" Lana rubbed her head with a sigh.
"You're welcome!" Mine smiled and walked off with a hum. I'm gonna be honest, I didn't think that would work!
Everyone else hopped into the wind tunnel and launched into the air, finding themselves behind a Moblin with a steel shield. "Come on, what are we waiting for? Let's get moving!" Scrapper said as they went deeper into the volcano, where they knocked out several Fire Keese as Weiss jumped down a ledge and dealt with two Lizalfos easily as they then hopped over a few lava stones, then made their way through to the entrance of the Fire Sanctuary where Scrapper happily dumped the water into the frog's mouth.
"There we go. Don't need this anymore!" Scrapper tossed the basin behind him, where it flew and landed right into the lava river below. "Were you pleased, Mistress Fi? I'll be more than happy to do whatever you asked of me!"
He then flew back to Skyloft.
"Somehow, I was expecting that to take a lot longer when you guys went to pick him up." Midna said.
"Believe me, so did we…" Cia sighed as a dark portal opened up as Ganondorf walked out with Akame.
"What'd we miss?" Ganondorf asked casually.
"Akame, are you okay?" Kurome asked.
"I feel… weird… but he actually helped me control this new power that he gave me." Akame said.
"New power?" Leone wondered as Kurome gave Ganondorf a glare.
"Relax. I wasn't going to corrupt this one." Ganondorf chuckled as they walked into the Fire Sanctuary.
That doesn't put my mind at ease… Lana thought as they walked inside.
End BGM
BGM: Fire Sanctuary (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
All of them walked up to the lava river that flowed by, as they heard screeching where they turned to see a few Green Bokoblins firing arrows at them. Luckily, they missed as Link and Weiss proceeded to fire arrows at them, knocking them out as Lana made a bridge to cross the river as they made their way to the other side, where they were greeted by a Mogma that popped up.
"Boy howdy! You're not any monsters, are you?" He asked.
"No, none of us are." Link said.
The Mogma looked over at Ravio. "You sure about that? He looks like a deformed bunny rabbit!"
Ravio sweatdropped. "Deformed…?"
What, nothing on Ganonbutt? Midna thought.
"Nah, he's with us." Lana said.
"Fair enough! Say, you look like you're looking for treasure. In fact, I see one of you have our own Mogma Mitts. Impressive, if I say so myself. Name's Guld, by the way! Anywho, I'd turn back if I were you. Treasure hunters tend to disappear in this place."
"Ooooh, murder mystery!" Kokichi grinned excitedly.
"I don't think there'd be any remains." Shuichi said.
"You're not gonna listen to that though, are ya?" He asked as everyone stared at them. "Thought as much, but this piece of information might be worth it for ya. Every Mogma worth their dirt knows about this: "Ye who seek the entrance to the king's treasure, look for the two statues that face one another. Show your bravery and jump into the mouth of the sleeping statue. Do this, and the path will open before you"." He recited, noticing that Zelda and Masaru were quickly scribbling that down.
"Jump into the… mouth of the sleeping… statue. Got it!" Masaru noted.
How are those notes not burning up in a place like this? Kotoko wondered.
"By the way, if you see any of my boys in this place, give 'em a holler for me!" He then dug back underground.
They turned around, only to see there was a locked door, only for Cia to hop down from a ledge with a key in her hand as she unlocked the door and walked in, where they would find themselves outside.
"Oh! A bit of an inside/outside theme to this dungeon, huh?" Weiss guessed. "A nice change of pace, honestly. It'll cool us down a bit."
"That depends on how close to the lava we are." Cardin said as they walked downstairs, taking out a few Bokoblins and Dark Keese, then going down more stairs as they went through another door as they found themselves in a lava-like arena, and when they stepped down, a massive lava hand, Magmanos, rose up from the lava.
"Eeek!" Anya yelped as Weiss got in a stance, only for Wave to throw water at it to turn it into solid rock, then Weiss used her longsword to cut through the rock, shattering Magmanos as it made the lava dissipate, where the ground opened up underneath them.
"Sweet!" Leone grinned. "That'll-"
"Hold up, I see a locked door over there." Midna pointed out. "We're gonna have to make a mental note for this later."
Zelda pulled out her Sheikah Slate and with a hum, she walked over to said door down below as she tapped a few buttons as a travel medallion was placed on the floor. "There we go~!" She smiled as she hurried back up and with a nod, they climbed up some vines and made their way to a ledge, opening up a door while Ganondorf looked at a gate and proceeded to make it slide into the wall. With a chuckle, he walked off to regroup with the others, where they would come into contact with a Dark Lizalfos.
The Lizalfos hissed and jumped over, only for Weiss to stab the ground to make an icy Magnamalo form up, causing the Dark Lizalfos to freeze up in horror as the Magnamalo proceeded to send the terrified Lizalfos into the lava below. With a smile, Weiss dismissed it. "Piece of cake."
"One of these days, I'd like to see if we can actually take out said beast." Cardin said.
"That'd be the day…" Sky chuckled.
"If you do, I'll be right by your side in case if you need support." Weiss offered with a smile.
"Thanks." Cardin nodded as they walked across the bridge and into the next door where they found themselves at another lava river, where Lana proceeded to make a bridge for the heck of it and made their way over while also taking out a few Cursed Spumes.
"Hmm…" Maki looked over at a blocked off lavafall from a dragon statue. I wonder if we were originally supposed to do that? She wondered as they made their way and found two doors, one of them locked as they went into the unlocked one where they would find a Mogma hanging by a chain.
"Hmm? More guards? I ain't gonna tell ya anything! You might as well throw me in the lava!"
"We're not going to do that." Groose said.
"Wait, you're not those monsters? …You got one behind ya!" The Mogma said, pointing to Ravio.
"I can assure you, I'm no monster." Ravio said.
"Prove it." The Mogma said, causing Ravio to lift his hood up. "...Good HYLIA, man! You're wearing the monster's body as a coat! You gonna skin me alive too?"
Ravio sweatdropped with a deadpanned look. "Do I look like the kind of guy who skins people alive?"
"I dunno, how'd you make the rabbit costume~?" Midna teased, which earned her an annoyed "Not helping!" look from Ravio, causing her to grin.
"He's no monster." Lana reassured.
"...I'm not convinced, but alright. Name's Silva, and if you find a way to get me out of here, that'd be swell!" He said as they nodded, where Ravio put his hood back down.
"Skin monsters alive, who does he think I am…" Ravio mumbled as Lana came over with a key after skipping over the magma rocks as they went into the now-unlocked door, making their way around as they threw a Water Fruit inside a frog mouth as they went through the fire door and quickly found themselves in another lava room with two Magmanos wandering around.
Weiss looked over to Manaphy who was being piggybacked by Kirumi. "You wanna turn those into rocks, sweetie?"
"Mana!" Manaphy nodded as he hopped off and wandered into the room where the Magmanos turned toward the Pokemon, and right when they were closing in, Manaphy used Whirlpool on them to turn them into rock, then Kirumi and Whitley came in as they both gave a good kick to destroy them. "Mana Mana~!" Manaphy smiled, climbing up Kirumi's leg, causing her to giggle.
"Wooooow!" The Mogma said in awe. "I don't know how you did it, but that was amazing! Come on over here and I'll thank ya!" He said as Lana opened up a portal as they walked through and wound up on the other side as Link used his Whip to lower the lever down and lowered the Mogma. "Thanks! Names Silva, nice to meet ya!"
"Nice to meet you too." Ieyasu greeted.
"Oh, you look like you have Digger's Mitts! That won't do you any good. Be right back." He dug underground and then came back with a treasure chest, opening it up and tossing it to Link. "These are Mogma Mitts. Those won't get you anywhere underground, but the Mogma Mitts will. They can easily make you dig underground!"
Link smiled. "Good to know."
"Well, I'm outta here. See ya around!" He dug underground as Link walked over and tested his new Mogma Mitts, finding himself on the other side of the gate after he climbed out, where he grabbed a key from a treasure chest and made his way back.
"Think I know where that key will take us." Zelda said. "Gather around me." She requested, pulling out her Sheikah Slate and pressing the Travel Medallion, where everyone was surrounded in blue light and teleported over to where they were previously.
"Wah!" Groose yelped as he checked himself out. "Arms in place, knees are still there, head on straight-"
That one's debatable. Midna thought.
"Clothing still on… phew! I'm still in one piece!"
"Goodness, that'll take a while to get used to." Yor said.
"Ooof… can the room stop spinning? I'd like to get off…" Yuri groaned as his boys guided him to the door as they found themselves back outside near the boss door as they walked through, giving over a lava river with Nesta making a bridge, which surprised the onlooking archer Bokoblins.
The Bokoblins looked at each other as one of them pulled out a piece of paper and a pen, writing down the word "BRIDGE", only it didn't come to life unlike with Nesta's semblance.
The second Bokoblin scratched his head and had an idea, taking the pen and scribbling sparkle effects on "BRIDGE".
Then a few stars.
Then a rainbow.
Then a few more sparkles.
The Bokoblins looked at each other in confusion before one had an idea and decided to throw the paper away, thinking it would form a bridge. It crumpled up the paper and threw it into the lava river… where it immediately boiled up.
The Bokoblins screamed in frustration, only to get sniped by Oran.
"What's their problem?" Oran wondered.
"I dunno. Probably bored out of their minds." Anya shrugged as they walked up the stairs to see the boss door.
"Wait, wasn't there a riddle…?" Masaru wondered as he turned to see a slab of stone. He walked over toward it, and then looked a bit farther to see two frog statues. "Aha! Here it is!"
Zelda came over. "Oh, so this is the spot? Okay, so it looks like we have to jump into the open mouth."
"Yeah. There's just one problem." Masaru looked at the lava river. "THAT."
Link approached and rubbed his chin in thought. "I think you just gotta take a leap of faith." He backed up and leapt off the ledge.
"LINK, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Zelda yelled as she tried to catch him, but failed to do so as they both watched… and saw a light bridge forming inside the mouth as Link used his glider to catch himself and then slid underneath.
"Oh! Duh…" Masaru blushed a little as Terrako let out a boop, and then they hopped off, landing on the bridge and sliding in.
As for Weiss, she put her finger on her chin, contemplating. "I guess we can just wait for them." Chelsea said.
"Hmm…" Weiss said as she conjured up in her hand in the shape of the key shaped hole.
"I don't think that's gonna work, Weiss." Midna said.
"Well, doesn't hurt to try." Weiss responded as she fit it into the hole. "Perfect~!"
However, it didn't unlock the door, causing her to slump a bit. "Oh come on, it's a perfect fit!"
"I was afraid of that…" Midna said.
"Good try though." Kirumi said, patting her niece on the shoulder.
A few minutes later, a portal opened up as Cia came out with Link, Zelda and Masaru, the key in Masaru's hands. "That was fun!" Masaru smiled.
"Indeed it was." Zelda looked down at Terrako. "Nice job on taking care of that Moldorm!"
Terrako booped with pride.
Earlier…
Terrako hid behind a corner as the Moldorm moved past him. He then charged up a laser and shot through the weakspot of the Moldorm, going through its head and splattering it's blood all over. He let out a surprised boop in response before walking away with a casual whistle.
Back in the present…
"...Anyone smell Moldorm guts or is it just me?" Lana wondered as Terrako let out a casual boop as Masaru planted the key inside the hole, unlocking the door.
I see the door is a little picky… Weiss thought in annoyance as they walked through.
End BGM
Once they walked through, they would see Ghirahim casually sitting on a wall with Wizzro sitting near him. "I don't think this will be a good idea." Wizzro cautioned.
"It'll be fine." Ghirahim chuckled. "You've been busy!" He said to the others as he hopped down.
BGM: Ghirahim's Theme (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
"And so have you, we take it." Link said.
"Hmm…" Lana rubbed her chin and snapped her fingers. "I'll be right back!" She took off running.
"Lana, where the hell are you-"
"I see your sister turned tail. She's the smarter of the two." Ghirahim chuckled. "Now then, here I was just toiling away, watching you destroy my monsters left and right… when I happened to overhear something interesting. Something that will make your blood absolutely boil."
"And what's that?" Weiss asked.
"There's a deep dark secret that some of you share… something that's absolutely damning!" Ghirahim pointed to the crowd. "Akame! Kurome! Yor! Chelsea! Maki! All of you hold a dark secret that's just itching to come out! And some of you already know! Isn't that right… Wave and Kokoro?"
"What are you getting at?" Wave glared.
"Hahahahaha! You know exactly what I mean!"
Akame's eyes widened. "You wouldn't…"
"Oh, but I would!" He smirked devilishly. "These people aren't who they say they are! They aren't average people… they're Night Raid assassins! Chelsea was trained by her mother! And they kept this secret from you for a long time! Hahahaha!"
End BGM
*Crickets chirping*
"...And?" Cardin folded his arms. "Where are you going with this?"
Ghirahim blinked. "Wait, what? You were supposed to be…"
"So what if they're assassins? I'm sure they had their reasoning as to why they had to keep that a secret." Weiss said.
"Assassins on our side? I see that as a win in my book!" Kokichi grinned.
"So what if my girlfriend was trained by an assassin? I'd say she just got a whole lot cooler in my book." Cardin said.
"Yeah, nothing wrong with that." Masaru said.
Sayo giggled. "So they're assassins. That's pretty neat."
Kurome sighed with relief. "You're not upset?"
"You have your reasoning. I'm not holding that against you." Leone grinned.
"See?" Wave casually elbow bumped Kurome. "There was nothing to worry about."
Kurome sighed with relief. "Thank Oum…"
"Just to point something out, my grandma's a former assassin, and she's the nicest lady I've ever met." Oran spoke up. "These assassins are okay to me too."
"Hahahahaha! Is that all you have, Ghirahim?" Ganondorf let out a boastful chuckle.
Ghirahim smirked. "I still have this up my sleeve… someone was a secret agent this whole time! You wonder how Night Raid fell? Why don't you ask the saboteur herself!"
BGM: Prologue: Beneath Hyrule Castle (The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom)
Maki's eyes widened, stiffening in horror.
"What are you talking about?" Cardin asked, unaware of Akame and Kurome giving Maki a glare while Yor gave her a more sympathetic look.
"Why, Night Raid fell within seconds. Burnt to the ground as if it was nothing. Isn't that right… MAKI?"
Maki stiffened even harder as Ghirahim teleported, grabbing Maki by the arm and teleporting away to the center of the room, forcibly turning her to face the crowd.
"I… I don't know what you're talking about…" Maki said, looking away and closing her eyes.
"Ahahahaha! Oh, so you think you can play dumb, huh? I overheard everything." He smirked. "You were the one who fell Night Raid! You were the one who killed everyone with the help of an individual! It doesn't take a genius to figure out who that perpetrator was, eh Akame? Don't think I didn't use that nightmare on a whim, I simply used it for research purposes!"
"What…" Akame whispered.
"Oh yes. I know who destroyed Night Raid. That Scorpion man, right? Well, he wasn't alone, am I correct? That saboteur was none other than Maki!"
"You lie…!" Maki grimaced.
"Ah, so you try to resist! You seem like the type of assassin who gets hired by cash." Ghirahim circled around Maki. "And if I didn't know any better, you went into Night Raid, gained everyone's trust and when their guards were down, you slaughtered your so-called brethren in cold blood while the scorpion burnt down the establishment! YOU helped destroy Night Raid!"
"I didn't!"
"If it weren't for you, Night Raid would still be standing today! Do you deny it?"
"No… I… I didn't…!"
"Don't lie. You did this!"
"No!"
"Then I guess I'll have some other way to make you say yes." Ghirahim took her sword, teleporting away with it and in a flash, Anya was taken away and held prisoner, Maki's sword placed against her neck where Ghirahim flashed a sadistic smirk.
"ANYA!" Loid yelled as everyone else's eyes widened.
"Maki, this is your sword, is it not? Suppose that this blade cuts this girl's throat open. Would it be me who slaughtered her? Or would it be you? This blade belongs to you after all."
Maki stiffened, unsure of what to do as a tear ran down her cheek.
"Was it this blade that slaughtered innocents of Night Raid! Give me your honest answer or blood will pour out of this young one's neck!"
Maki looked at Anya's terrified expression as she looked away. "...Yes…"
"What was that? I didn't hear you."
"Yes! I helped slaughter Night Raid!" Maki yelled, her voice breaking as tears rolled down her cheeks.
Ghirahim chuckled, shoving Anya to the side and teleporting over to Maki. "So… do you deny it then?"
"No… I can't deny it…"
"Then you're GUILTY!"
"You…" A voice said as they turned to see Yuri trembling in rage. "The whole reason my sister disappeared for five years… IT WAS YOU?!" He yelled, eyes full of rage.
"Yuri, NO!" Yor yelled.
"And so it begins. Everyone will turn on each other." Ghirahim chuckled as he turned to Laxus, Mira and Mavis. "Fairy Tail! Night Raid was one of your allies back then, I'm assuming! What do you have to say about all of this? Are you angry? Do you wish to slaughter her after destroying your precious ally?"
"...You want to know what I think?" Laxus asked.
"Yes. Tell me how you-"
A massive lightning bolt struck Ghirahim in the face.
"AAARGH!"
End BGM
"What I truly think… is that you're nothing more than a piece of shit." Laxus said. "You think you're all high and mighty, spreading your venom into thinking we'll turn on each other. Honestly, you're pathetic."
"I don't understand… why aren't you turning on Maki? Shouldn't you be angry?"
"Oh, don't get me wrong, I was pissed when Mavis told me, but… I did some thinking and I came to the conclusion that she must have had a reason as to why she did what she did." Laxus folded his arms. "And honestly, going as to low as to throw someone under the bus? You really are the lowest of the low."
"And another thing!" Akame spoke up as she and Kurome angrily attacked him. Ghirahim gasped, quickly teleporting out of the way.
"Why are you attacking me?! You hate her, don't you?!"
"Oh, we do… but we're not petty enough to throw her under the bus like that!" Kurome said as Chelsea ran to Maki and pulled her in close while Midna teleported in, grabbing Maki's sword from Ghirahim and teleported back to Maki.
"We're honestly better than that." Akame said. "Of course, we're one to talk since my sister and I attempted to kill her when we found out, but now? Now we're not nearly as angry as we once were!"
"And one other thing." Laxus added. "You took away my power, yes? What you took was some of my lightning. It doesn't take much for electricity to regenerate, especially when you have resources." He said as Zapple casually flashed the peace sign with a grin.
"I'll just happily resupply my man's power~!" Zapple smiled.
"So really, not only are you pathetic… you're nothing more than the entire circus." Laxus said.
"How does it feel to be so low, Ghirahim?" Mercury smirked proudly.
"Rrrrgh…" Ghirahim growled. "Is this how Dimentio feels all the time… NO. I am not going to compare myself to that clown!" He said. "This is my moment, my time to shine! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! And you know what? I have another trick up my sleeve… for you see… I have the Fierce Deity Power!"
Weiss stepped forward. "Stand aside. I got this."
"Wizzro. Make good use of these toys. I'm going to wipe the floor with this one." Ghirahim smirked as Wizzro teleported, quickly snapping his fingers to make dark flames to prevent everyone from aiding Weiss, where he proceeded to attack them right after.
Ghirahim smirked. "The one thing I lack from this Fierce Deity power is mercy. So enjoy your last moments, Weiss. For you will be breathing your last as you watch your precious god-like power slaughter you IN SECONDS!" He yelled, raising his hand and glowed brightly.
BGM: Majora's Wrath (The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask)
Once the glowing stopped, Ghirahim had silver gauntlets on his wrists. His hair was still white with a silver streak, he had the Fierce Diety markings on his face while his pupils were gone. His cape was silver with a red lining as he also donned metal boots.
Fabulously Fashionable Demon-God - Fierce Deity Ghirahim
"Hahahaha! How do I look? Do I strike fear in your heart?"
Weiss calmly got in a pose, putting one arm on her elbow while raising her other arm as the Triforce of Wisdom glowed brightly.
"Here's what I think."
End BGM
Weiss glowed brightly as well, blinding Ghirahim as the light stopped. Ghirahim uncovered his eyes to see what she had transformed into.
BGM: The Reflection (RWBY: Ice Queendom)
Weiss wore a white and dark blue colored version of the Sheikah Stealth armor set. She wore a white coat with gray blue lines and ribbons as the coat had a gold Triforce buckle holding it. On her waist was two belt buckles that held pockets, storing dust, shurikens and kunai. She also wore dark blue shorts. Her hands and legs had gray blue plate armor covering them where they also had the Schnee symbol. She wore a red scarf around her neck that went down to her waist while wearing a dark blue mask that covered her face. On her forehead was none other than the Schnee symbol while her ears were pointed like a typical Hylian. Her hair turned into a long ponytail in the center that went down to her legs that was held by a gray ribbon in the shape of a fairy. She also had a Sheikah hat behind her head held together by blue and white ropes.
Myrtenaster and Eiskonigen formed together in a Kodachi version of Khione.
The Ice Ninja of Wisdom - Sheikah Weiss
"Hahaha! You think being a Sheikah is going to change anything?"
Weiss got in a ninja-like stance. "Ready when you are."
Ghirahim smirked. "My pleasure!"
The two of them lunged, clashing with their blades as Ghirahim roughly swing his sword at her while Weiss calmly and gracefully parried him as she backflipped and then did a few handsigns as a few ice clones of herself appeared near her.
Weiss and her ice clones ran toward Ghirahim as he quickly swung electrical currents at them as Weiss flipped over, using her feet to use Ghirahim as a launch pad and jumped off of him, quickly throwing a few kunai down to surround him, and then when Weiss landed, the kunai exploded and sent Ghirahim flying.
Ghirahim growled, teleporting over to Weiss and slashing her, but she weaved her head to avoid the sword coming down at her as she then sweep kicked to knock him off his feet as she then backflipped, quickly throwing shuriken and kunai at him as Ghirahim deflected them, summoning electrical daggers and sending them toward Weiss.
Weiss put up a reflective gravity glyph, sending it back to Ghirahim as she then did more handsigns to summon a few more ice clones, but they morphed into different monsters. A Magnamalo, Seregios, an Ursa and even a Lynel, said ice Lynel being silver compared to the rest of the ice beasts.
The ice beasts charged at him as Ghirahim growled, teleporting out of the way, only to get rammed by the Silver Lynel as it fired arrows. Weiss pulled out a bow and did the same, firing Light Arrows into Ghirahim that exploded into ice.
Once the ice dust settled, Ghirahim was gone as Weiss shifted her eyes and ducked to avoid getting her head cut off by him as she planted an ice tag on his abdomen, said tag exploding into ice as he let out a yelp as the ice beasts tackled him as he fired silver lightning at them to get them to back off… only to get headbutted by the Lynel.
"Rrrgh!" Ghirahim grunted. "I don't understand… I should be stronger in this form! What is the deal!"
"I'm honestly not surprised you haven't figured it out."
"Enlighten me!"
"You stole it from me. I was the one who originally had it when I wanted to save Ruby from Damian during the Blorb Crisis. The Fierce Deity and I are pretty closely connected to one another, given how I often trained while in that form. Haven't you noticed your voice hasn't changed a bit?"
"What about your voice!"
"Simple. When I became one with the Fierce Deity, my voice became one with him, where I sounded like I was one of the gods. You, on the other hand, you took it because you wanted to be different than Dimentio. The Fierce Deity is rejecting you, Ghirahim. He's not giving you the power you desperately want. My heart was in balance when I became Fierce Deity. Your heart is nothing but hatred and malice. It doesn't take much to figure that out. Unfortunately for you… you're too in over your head to figure that out. You're nothing more than a false god!"
The False God - Fierce Deity Ghirahim
Ghirahim growled. "You speak nothing of lies. I am the Fierce Deity and you are nothing but a mere insect to my boot!" He teleported toward her, swiftly slashing at her but she blocked with her kodachi and parried him, quickly slashing him effortlessly as she tossed the Kodachi in the air after she parried him, quickly pressing several of his pressure points to knock him out for the count, placing her boot on his chest.
"What was that about me being an insect to your boot?"
End BGM
Ghirahim growled. "You fool… you think this is the end?!" He teleported away once he could feel his body again, standing up and facing her. "You win this round, Schnee… but know this. Me being in this Fierce Deity form is only just the beginning!"
"How so?"
"Why… I am the sword to Lord Demise, am I not? So If I gave him this Fierce Deity… hmhmhmhmhmhmhmhm… why, Lord Demise will crush you underneath his boot, make his way to the present and then partner up with Emperor Bowser! They will be unstoppable! And not even Salem will be spared by those two!"
"Demise with… the Fierce Deity…" Weiss's eyes widened before calmly collecting herself. "He'll be a false god too."
"Ohohohoho. I promise you, Weiss. He'll make the Fierce Deity god bow to HIM. He will be unstoppable! He will-"
"Move! MOOOOOVE!" A voice cried as Weiss turned her head to not only see the dark flames had fanished and Wizzro was nursing a headache, Lana came running in. "Out of my way, coming through!"
"What's going-"
"BCKAWWWWWW!"
Lana dove to the right while an army of Cucco came charging in directly at the two. Weiss jumped into the air and made an ice pillar to protect herself while they swarmed Ghirahim.
"Get your talons away from me! Stop! Ow! OW! OOOOOW! You piece of- YAAAGH! This is not how I envisioned this would go!" He declared as he quickly teleported away to safety, as did Wizzro.
Weiss knelt down, watching the Cuccos casually cluck amongst themselves while a few tapped the ground in curiosity. "Demise with the Fierce Deity… I feel like we're about to have a hell of a fight."
"Soooo…" Lana dusted herself off. "What'd I miss?"
Ibuki: *cackling* False God! Love it!
Deadpool: In yo face! I can't tell how many mic drops there were in that moment!
Yup! Shout out to Jacob for coming up with Sheikah Weiss's design!
...Soooo, I need to talk about Tears of the Kingdom, since I just beat the game today. Would've beaten it weeks ago, but one: I was also grinding the latest Splatoon 3 catalog to 100 and also searching for armor sets and Korok Seeds after I got all sages (I wanted to boost my item slots to save room for the Champion weapons after all. I was doing this for them too!)
But first... Ibuki?
Ibuki: Major spoilers incoming! If you don't wanna read this part, ignore this!
Deadpool: You've been warned!
So... Tears of the Kingdom is AMAZING. Like, it blows BoTW out of the water like a lot, the story is incredible (Though I will admit using the memory thing again was a bit... dumb. Worked for BoTW, and... well, not so much here but it kiiiinda makes sense too? Sonia's best Zonai queen by the way.) and honestly, Zelda transforming into a dragon to repair the Master Sword was so... feelsy that I actually took a moment to collect myself. Of course, I went for the Master Sword after getting Tulin and Yunobo, so when I saw the Light Dragon's blonde hair, I was like "Why does that look like- wait... no... ZELDA?! Noooo! I didn't think you'd go through with it!" so yeah, I figured it out before I got the last tear but the way Zelda transformed... along with the Silent Princesses you get at the end? That... that was so much feels.
Colgera was an amazing first boss and I can never get enough of the boss theme. The Wind Temple was awesome too. Tulin as an ally was a lifesaver for in the air and he's scarily accurate with headshots.
Marbled Gohma was a pretty fun fight and the Fire Temple was great to explore. Yunobo being used as a wrecking ball is awesome (Though him wearing a luchador outfit threw me for a loop.)
Mucktorok was a fun fight, though a friend called him a Shiver Simp. Sidon... well, I find him to be situational at best. And the water shockwaves you use drains the hell out of your weapon durability. What's up with that? Oh, the Water Temple was also simple, yet fun.
Queen Gibdo... the less I talk about her, the better. Lightning Temple was fun, but the less I talk about Queen Gibdo, the better. Riju is a BEAST and I typically only have her out on the field compared to my other Allies, though I tend to turn her off when I repair weapons with Rock Octoroks since she's a liiiitle too bloodthirsty, her AoE is AMAZING.
The Spirit Temple was unique and the boss fight was amazing! Mineru, though... yeah, she sucks. She's too slow, takes a while to wind up and... honestly, she's the worst party member.
Kohga's shenanigans was hilarious and Phantom Ganon was a treat!
As for Ganondorf himself... HOO BOY. That fight was thrilling! First phase was awesome, second phase when he hulks out into Demise was amazing and the health bar was a hell of a surprise and that final fight as a dragon when Zelda comes to help out... breathtakingly cinematic. Much better than Dark Beast Ganon imo!
I give this game a solid 10/10... and I don't normally give such high scores!
