While The Imprisoned Attacks Skyloft

"Soooo, which one of us would be the most evil in an alternate world?" Haru asked, as she was in Chiaki's hospital room with Sora, Riku, Kairi and Ibuki in the room.

"Hmm… probably Sora-chan." Ibuki said.

"Eh?! Why go for me? If anything, Kairi'd probably be the best pick."

"Excuse you? I don't think that's possible." Kairi said. "...Although…" She rubbed her chin in thought. "Princess of Darkness sounds pretty interesting…"

"Then that means Riku's the damsel in distress~" Haru giggled.

"What…? No! I'd be helping Sora to get Kairi off her high horse."

"Oh come on, you'd look cute in a dress and tiara~"

Chiaki pictured Riku in said outfit, causing her to snicker while she was playing on her Switch. "I mean, if Cloud can pull it off…"

"Oooooh~! Ibuki'll get her sewing kit!" Ibuki grinned.

"N-Now w-wait a minute… just because Cloud can pull it off-" Riku stammered while sweating nervously.

Haru noticed Mikan walking in. "Hey Mikan-chan… do you think Riku would look cute in a dress?"

Mikan paused, looking at Riku. "...I don't see it."

"Thank you!"

"...Although, I do see Sora wearing a dress."

"HUH?!" Sora yelled in surprise, hearing everyone snicker. "...You know what, I'd probably look pretty in it."

"You do realize Donald is never going to let you live that down." Kairi said.

"Not until I make him wear a dress with me!"

"I can already hear him screaming…" Chiaki laughed.

"Okay, anyone in here think Chiaki-chan would be a good villain?" Ibuki asked.

"I don't see it." Sora said.

"The only time I'd see her being evil is by playing GTA V and killing off Michael." Haru said.

"Or deliberately causing a Pikmin extinction." Mikan added.

"Or! Ooooooooor! Dropping Yoshi-chan off a cliff to gain an extra jump!" Ibuki said.

"Um…" Chiaki sweatdropped. "I think if I was evil, I'd probably do something really malicious like… um… stepping on a ladybug?"

Everyone stared at her.

"...Well, you're boring." Kairi said.

"Hey!"

"Wait, actually, I think Riku would be the best fit for a villain." Sora said.

"What?!" Riku looked at him appalled. "Why?!"

"Well, you tried to kill me before. We haven't really talked ab-"

"What, you mean at the Grand Hall? Yeah… no. I'm sorry about that. You know Ansem was-"

"No no. Before that, at the Entrance Hall. You weren't possessed or anything, you were just trying to get rid of me, Donald and Goofy."

Riku cringed at the memory. "Oh… right. Sorry about that."

Sora laughed. "Don't worry about it. You've proven waaaaaay too many times that you regret all that!"

"By the way…" Kairi thumped Riku in the back of the head.

"Gah! What was that for?"

"That was for kidnapping my comatose body. I meant to do it after we all reunited, but I just forgot about it. Sora helped me remember to smack you for it."

Riku sweatdropped. "Of all things, you remembered that?"

At that moment, Hajime walked in with Pyra and Mythra, all of them having drinks. "Hey guys! Do you think Chiaki-chan can be evil in another universe?" Haru asked.

"Uuuuh… where did this come from?" Hajime wondered.

"Oh, I was just curious on who would be the most evil out of all of us in some alternate timeline~" Haru hummed.

"Oh! Well…" Hajime rubbed his chin. "Ha! The day Chiaki becomes evil is when Dimentio becomes a good guy."

"That'll be the day." Chiaki rolled her eyes with a chuckle.

"Yeah, and let's be honest. Chiaki wouldn't even hurt a butterfly." Pyra said.

"Ha! If she was evil, she'd be killing the butterfly! …But would continuously suck at it at every opportunity." Mythra grinned. "Hell, it'd probably be on the ground and you'd still miss."

Chiaki pouted. "Babe, are you gonna-"

"No no, she's right. You'd definitely struggle doing evil things."

"So let's here…" Sora wrote down on a piece of paper. "Most evil would be Riku, and the pathetically evil would be Chiaki. Chaotic evil would definitely be a tie between Ibuki and Haru."

Ibuki snickered. "Sounds about right…" She said, while also fist bumping Haru.

"Pathetically?" Chiaki frowned. "Ouch…" She mumbled while Hajime patted her on the back.

"Where would we fit in?" Kairi wondered.

Sora rubbed his chin. "I think… you'd be a step above Chiaki-"

"Oh come on…" Chiaki pouted.

"With Pyra's flames, she could be… pyrokinetically evil. Mythra… actually would be on par with Ibuki and Haru-"

"Am I seriously that chaotic?" Mythra wondered.

"Good point. You'd probably be… uh… aggressively evil."

Mythra smirked. "Damn right!"

"The only ones I'm unsure about are Hajime and Mikan… I think they'll be Mysterious Evil."

"Oh, but that just leaves you." Haru said while Hajime and Mikan side eyed each other.

"Uuuuh… is there a category for me?"

"Lawful evil." Ibuki said.

"That's a thing?"

"I believe so, yes." Riku nodded as he looked at Sora's list. "...Do I have to be on top?"

"Would you prefer it if you were in the middle?"

"Uuuuh… I'm not… sure…"

At that moment, a ring portal opened up as everyone turned to see Strange walking out with Makoto, America and Mukuro. "Oh hey guys~!" Haru waved.

"Hey." Strange said. "Pardon our little party, but we brought some friends along." He said as they would see Hawkeye walk in with his family, along with Kate and Yelena.

"O-O-Oh my!" Chiaki exclaimed in surprise.

"Feelin' miserable~?" Ibuki teased.

"Nope. But I feel like I wanna fangirl right now."

"So, what's going on?" America asked.

"Going through a list." Sora responded, handing it over as Strange looked it over.

"Hmmm… I don't know if this is completely right. Is it possible for Chiaki to be a capable villain?"

"I'd probably have a cool villain origin story!" Chiaki said proudly.

"What would that be, going insane because of a shitty reward for Korok finding?" Mythra teased.

Chiaki sweatdropped. "It'd be a lot cooler than that!"

"Nope, I do not see her as a villain at all." Strange confirmed. "...Sidekick? No, she'd be worthless there too. Minion…? Nope. I don't see it either."

Oh come on… Chiaki thought with a slight eyebrow twitch.

"Koroks, huh?" Kate looked at Chiaki sympathetically. "I can relate."

"Soooo, I take it you got the Princesses of Heart then?" Riku asked.

"Yeah, now we just have to figure out who's who." Strange said.

Kairi walked forward, looking at Kate and Yelena. "Nope, definitely not them. I'm not sensing anything."

"Good. I do not know if I am princess material." Yelena said.

"Well… maybe we can get you a princess dress and we can determine from there." Kate teased.

Yelena rolled her eyes. "Nyet."

"How about a… combat dress?"

"...Is that a thing?"

"Probably." Clint said.

Strange chuckled. "I know a few huntresses who might fit that bill. Although one of them is in ancient Hyrule."

Kairi immediately sensed something, walking away as if she's in a trance.

"Kairi?" Sora wondered as he walked after her, as did Riku, where Kate decided to follow out of curiosity as did the others.

"...Wait, is that thunder I hear?" Clint wondered.

"Ah, I see they're still going at it."

Outside of the hospital…

Kairi walked out of the hospital, seeing gaps appear all around as everyone walked out. "Wow…" She said in surprise as Yukari turned her head to see Kairi.

"Not everyone's here. I dropped Gloria off at her home with a friend."

Meanwhile…

"Oh, by the way, Rubes!" Gloria spoke up. "I need to introduce ye to someone."

"Oh?" Ruby wondered as she headed over to Hop's house where they would see Merida chatting with Hop and Leon along with Hat Kid, Demoman, and Conductor.

"Man, your father sounds like the life of the party." Leon said.

"Aye. He's a good man." Merida nodded as she turned around and saw Ruby. "Aye, lass, is this the one who you were talkin' about?"

"Aye!"

Oh boy, another one. Ruby thought with an amused smile.

Merida smiled. "Pleasure to meet ya, lassie! Name's Merida!"

"Ruby Rose, nice to meet ya."

"So, is it true you have a scythe?"

"Not just a scythe." Ruby pulled it out. "It's a high impact sniper rifle that can be split apart into two sniper rifles. Oh, and it can also turn into a crossbow."

Merida blinked. "...Can ye repeat that? Wot the bloody heck is a "sniper rifle"?"

"Aye, she's from the middle ages!" Demoman said.

No idea what that is. Ruby thought. "Let me show ya. It's pretty cool! …Has a bit of a kick to it."

"Ah, nonsense! Nothin' I can't handle." Merida said as Ruby transformed said scythe, causing Merida to sweatdrop. "...Wot."

"Try it!"

"Okay…" Merida held it. "Heavy, but it doesn't seem too bad. Now how do I shoot with this thing? Is it-"

BANG!

"Wah!" Merida fell on her butt while a few Wooloo ran away from the sound. "I'm okay!"

"Archery seems to be her thing." Hop said as Merida hopped back up, handing it back to Ruby.

"Hmm…" Ruby looked at Merida, Gloria, Demoman and the Conductor. "Ya know, I think we can make a Scottish team with you four."

"Oh good, I wasn't the only one who thought that." Hat Kid said.

"Hmm… now wot would be a good name for us?" Gloria wondered.

"Team Scotland!" Merida said.

"Actually, the team would be the first four letters of our names. For example-" Ruby pointed at Gloria. "G-" To Demoman "-D" to Conductor "-C" and then to Merida. "And M."

"...What the bloody heck? That's a bunch of nonsense!"

"Once you get used to it, it won't. It creates a name! Like how I'm the leader of Team RWBY!"

Merida sweatdropped, scratching her head. "That's… gonnae be tricky to remember."

"Not to Ruby." Gloria snickered.

"Now then, let's see what we can come up with."

Back at the hospital…

Kairi walked forward, looking over at everyone standing around and chatting amongst themselves as Sora walked out, and then immediately saw Ralph. "Heeey, Ralph!" He ran over to him.

"Hmm? Hey Sora!" Ralph waved, both of them immediately high fiving… which resulted in Sora yelping to his throbbing hand, blowing on it. "Ooooh, sorry."

"N-nah… it-it's okay! Ba-barely felt a thing!' He lied, fighting some pained tears that threatened to leave his eyes.

"Hooooly smokes…" Kate said in awe. "I should've known Disney was real the moment I saw Sora, and yet… goodness me! I don't know how many autographs I should ask for 'em!"

"Hmph, I like the soldier woman." Yelena said, looking over Calhoun with a nod.

Meanwhile, Clint looked directly at Elsa as he immediately flashbacked to his kids playing Frozen and its sequel over and over again. "...Ah… shit…" He grimaced, then noticed said kids running over to Elsa.

Laura giggled. "Oh, let them have their fun, honey. She's harmless."

"That's not what I'm worried about." He said.

"Elsa!" One of his kids called out. "Can you sing Let It Go for us, please?"

Both Clint and Elsa grimaced at the thought.

"Um… maybe later. I'm resting my voice…" Elsa said.

"Aww… okay!"

Elsa turned to Clint who quietly mouthed a "Thank you". She tilted her head in confusion before nodding with a small smile.

The other Princesses of Heart stared at Kairi, where they slowly approached her as Elsa turned around and did the same thing.

"I guess they have a connection." Makoto said before smiling. "That confirms it then. Kairi, Elsa, Anna, Rapunzel, Vanellope, Moana, and Tiana." He said. The rest are just a bonus, nice!

"Well, mission accomplished then." Strange said.

"Why do I feel connected to you people?" Vanellope wondered.

"I was thinking the same thing." Moana said.

"I feel like we're gonna get along just fine." Rapunzel said.

"Pssst, Eugene!" Sora whispered.

"Sora, my man! How's it going?"

"Great. Why's Maximus and Pascal covered in tar?"

"...Honestly, I'm not sure but I'm afraid to ask. Oh, by the way, dirty blonde and I got married now!"

"Really? That's awesome!"

Suddenly, green fire erupted from between the princesses of heart.

"Now this is a welcome surprise!" A voice said as Maleficent appeared before them.

BGM: Villains of a Sort (Kingdom Hearts)

"Maleficent?!" Sora exclaimed as he immediately summoned his Keyblade as did Riku and Kairi. In fact, Raven and Maia glared at Maleficent with anger in their eyes. The newcomers, unsure of what was going on, immediately got in battle stances the moment Sora summoned his Keyblade.

Maleficent smirked, proceeding to raise her staff up high and blocked everyone else out with her fire, leaving only the Princesses of Heart with her.

"I like to thank the one who was responsible for this to happen, for you have gifted them straight for me."

Makoto gasped, his eyes widening. "Oh god…"

Maleficent smirked, and then another person walked up with a cane in his hands with a smile. Tiana gasped in horror. "You…?!"

"Ah, Tiana. A pleasure to see you again, my dear." Facilier said with a casual smile. He tapped his staff on the ground as suddenly, the Princesses of Heart were lifted in the air magically.

End BGM

BGM: Shaded Truths (Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep)

"At long last, the completed Keyblade of Heart will be created!" Maleficent declared.

"I don't know who this lady is, but she definitely needs some moisturizer!" Mabel said.

"I think I could make something that'll get rid of her permanent green skin!" Stan exclaimed.

"I'll moisturize her face with this!" Calhoun said, immediately shooting at Maleficent but the bullets disintegrated entering the flames. "You can't be…"

"Nnngh!" Maoi grunted as he was tossed aside. "What do you mean I can't get past these flames?!"

"You idiot, you're going through the flames!" Calhoun said as Ralph leapt over the flames and attempted to punch Maleficent in the face, only for Facilier to stop him and sent him crashing into a vehicle.

Light started to pour out of the seven Princesses as Elsa tried to freeze her at the spot and Vanellope tried to glitch her way out, but unfortunately, their powers seemed to be currently nulled.

Immediately, Raven turned into a raven as she latched onto Maia, the latter using her wind to propel them up in the air as they both dive bombed. Maia quickly blowing Facilier away, but his shadow held on to the staff while Raven and Maia landed on the ground.

"Ah, we meet again, Branwen." Maleficent said as Raven quickly slashed at her, but she blocked with her staff as aura shot out of the corners of her eyes while Maia lunged and slashed at Maleficent, only to have a tentacle smack Maia in the face.

"Agh!" Maia grunted, being smacked away.

"I see your Nobody is out and about." Maleficent said as Vernal rose up from the ground, then she immediately walked toward Maia.

"Nnngh…" Maia shook her head and looked up, immediately whimpering when she saw Vernal heading for her. "Y-you're…"

Vernal grabbed Maia by the throat. "You're worthless. You're a shell of me? Pathetic!" She threw Maia to the side.

"Maia!" Raven exclaimed as she immediately saw Vernal walking forward. "You changed her…"

"She accepted the darkness."

Raven growled, unsure if she wanted to fight Maleficent or save Maia. She immediately backed away and headed straight for Maia, getting between the two. "Vernal, stand down!"

"Ah, Raven… you're protecting her?"

"Damn right I am…"

"So you would protect her instead of me?" She asked as Raven's eyes widened before she shook her head.

"I would have protected you too! I was going to make you the new chief of the tribe while I settled down with my family!"

"Look where that got you. You fought in the Phazon War instead of keeping us all safe." Vernal said with venom in her voice. "I trusted you… I relied on you… and you abandoned us for some mere blonde bimbo with your boy toy?!"

"She's not a bimbo and by golly, Akechi isn't my boy toy! She's manipulating you, Vernal! You may be a Heartless but-"

"But nothing. I have embraced my transformation… and you're left with the scrap."

"She's no scrap."

"That is to be decided." Vernal conjured up electricity and shot at Raven, but she blocked with her sword and retaliated with fire, but Vernal sunk into the ground and reappeared, clutching Raven by the stomach.

"Hnnngh!" Raven grunted as darkness pierced through her spine. "Gaaah!" She cried as she fell on her knees.

"MOM!" Maia yelled.

"Mom?" Vernal laughed. "You seriously adopted this pathetic waste as your own child? You gave that pathetic blonde a new sister just like that? You really are pathetic!"

She knelt down, putting her hand on Raven's cheek. "I used to care about you… I looked up to you… You were the best leader there was. I waited for you when you went to aid everyone in the Phazon War. That's when Maleficent attacked us. In my final moments, I realized just how shitty you really are… I resented you in my final moments."

"That's not true… you reached out to me!"

"I was desperate, but you never came!" Vernal slapped Raven down as Maia growled, proceeding to lunge forward and slashed at Vernal as she dodged every attack, but then Maia sliced one of her tentacles off from her hair.

"Agh!" Vernal grunted before smirking, grabbing Maia by the throat. "You think you can protect your so-called "mother"? She abandoned her blonde bitch and you think she's going to protect you? Get real!"

She threw her to the side. "I'll put you out of your misery." She said, darkness forming around her hand and shooting at Maia, but then a scythe blocked the attack.

"You okay, kiddo?"

Maia's eyes widened. "Uncle Qrow…"

Qrow did a "sup" nod before deflecting the darkness away from Vernal. "You've certainly gotten nastier the last time we've seen each other."

"Qrow… it's been a while." Vernal chuckled.

Maleficent let out a hearty laugh while Facilier used his magic to prevent anyone else from interrupting. Facilier dropped the princesses as the Keyblade of Heart forged in front of their eyes, the teeth having formed a complete heart unlike before.

"At long last, the Keyblade of Heart is ours! And I don't have to worry about Ansem taking it for himself!" She declared as she took it with a smirk. "A pleasure doing business with you, but now we must be off. And Sora… I like to thank you for helping Dimentio come back to his former glory." She said, causing Sora to growl.

"YOU GET BACK HERE!" He called out, AirStepping toward her but she disappeared in a green portal along with Facilier and the Keyblade.

Vernal chuckled. "I'll be taking my leave now." She then turned to Maia. "Listen here, nobody. You will NEVER be human. As for me, I'm more than just a human… hmhmhmhm~" She disappeared in a portal. "Good luck being non-existent!"

End BGM

Raven growled. "Being a Heartless really made her nastier…"

"Ya think? I believe the darkness is making her say those things."

"Obviously…" Raven turned around, seeing Maia hugging herself with fear in her eyes. She immediately hugged her as Maia instinctively hugged her, burying her head in her shoulder as Raven rubbed her back.

Sora clenched his fists. "That little…" He immediately turned to Kairi, running over to her. "Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah, I will be…" Kairi was helped up by him. "But now… now I'm-... as Riku puts it… I'm royally pissed."

"Uuuungh… can the area stop spinning? I'd like to get off." Anna groaned as Eugene was by Rapunzel's side.

Moana looked at a small puddle of water as she aimed her hand at it, where it lifted up from the ground. "Okay, good. I still have that."

"Glitch over here, glitch over there… phew!" Vanellope sighed with relief as she glitched over to Ralph. "You okay?" She asked as Calhoun pulled him out while Felix tapped on the car to fix it back up.

"I'll be alright… it'll take more than magic to knock me down!" Ralph chuckled.

Elsa conjured up her ice. "Okay, good. Still letting it go-" She cringed at what she said. "Still… have it…" Stupid singing…

Kairi summoned her Keyblade. "Juuuust making sure."

"What's going on over here?" A voice asked as they turned to see Thor approaching with Nora, both of them having minor bruises on their bodies.

"Thor." Clint greeted.

"Barton! You're here too? Excellent!"

"Oh… my god." Kate stared at Thor. "He's even more chiseled than what I've seen of him on TV! I need to get his autograph now."

"Mmm, I feel like he could use a haircut." Yelena shrugged.

"Who's the plus one?" Clint asked.

"Ah, this here is Nora Valkyrie!"

"Hello~!"

"She's like the sister I've never had!" Thor chuckled.

"...Is that considered a good thing…? Because considering your track record on siblings…"

Thor laughed. "Nah, this one's better than Hela. Heh… if only Loki were around… he'd probably think you were great." He chuckled right after. "Of course, he'd think you'd be better than I am…"

"Oh, what are you talking about! You're a god! You're absolutely-"

"Excuse me?" A voice asked as Maui walked over. "Did you just call him a god?"

"Yes."

"Nuh-uh. No way, sweetheart. I'm the only god around here. Twinkle toes is nothing but a twig!"

"Ah, you doubt me, do you?" Thor mused. "I am Thor, the God of Thunder!"

"Oh, you're Thor? The Thor?"

"Yes."

Maui gave him a bored look. "Never heard of you."

"Ah, but perhaps we can have a civilized discussion between gods."

"Pffft, more like a discussion between god and pipsqueak! Hahahaha!"

"What the hell is going on over here?" A voice asked as they turned to see Futaba walking over with Jade, BB-8 and Elfilin. "Seriously, did a Disney convention immediately happen after we left?"

"I… guess you could say that." Kate said.

Meanwhile, with Makoto…

Makoto sighed, walking into Kyoko's hospital room. "Hey Naegi!" Aoi waved. "...Why do you look so down in the dumps?"

"So… you know how I gathered everyone up to search for the Princesses of Heart?"

Kyoko immediately knew where this was headed. "Maleficent ambushed everyone, didn't she?"

"I didn't take her into account… I didn't think she was watching us just like that! And now… she's got a Keyblade of Heart."

Aoi grimaced. "Ooooh, that's bad…"

Kyoko frowned. "That's unfortunate…"

"I know, I didn't mean to screw up that badly."

Kyoko got up from her bed, her legs wobbly as Death immediately went to make sure she was steady with Aoi also accompanying her. "Thanks…" She said as she walked over and then hugged Makoto. "Don't worry about it…" She said gently. "I would've done the same thing… not taking Maleficent into account either."

Makoto softly smiled. "You probably would though."

"Maybe… but we'll always find a way to stop evil from destroying everything. It's in our blood." She said as Makoto nodded, then they both shared a kiss.

Kyoko pulled away. "Oh, by the way, there's someone here who wants to see you. She just stepped out to get a drink with Leon."

"She?" Makoto wondered as the door opened to see Sayaka come in with Leon.

"And so, I said to the girls that-" Sayaka turned to Makoto, gasping with her eyes widened. "Naegi?!"

"S-Sayaka?!" Makoto looked at her in surprise.

"Oh hey dude. Back from your Disney trip, I'm assuming?" Leon grinned.

Makoto and Sayaka stared at each other. "You…" Makoto whispered. "You look different."

"I'm… an Inkling now. I woke up in Inkopolis and formed a band with some Inklings and Octolings."

"Ink Fresh? You guys are really good."

"Yo-you heard our songs?"

"Yeah!"

"Oh Naegi…" Sayaka softly smiled before looking away. "I… I just want to say th-that… I'm sorry… for what I tried to do to you. I was so desperate to wanting to go home that-"

Makoto hugged her. "Don't worry… I forgive you."

"Yo-you do…?!"

Leon grinned. "Told ya!"

"O-Oh… N-Naegi…" Sayaka sniffled and hugged him back, her head buried in his arm as he patted her on the back.

Kyoko smiled. "That's adorable."

Back with Maleficent…

"Hmhmhmhm. The Keyblade is ours." Maleficent said.

"But who should wield it?" Pete asked. "It can't be Vernal. Heartless can't touch the darn thing."

"That is a shame…" Maleficent mused. "Your mitts are too huge to fit through. Gaston prefers his Blunderbuss and you-"

"Sorry, I'm more into my own magic tricks." Facilier said.

"Indeed… but perhaps Dimentio could use it if he so wishes. I wonder how our jester friend is doing…"

Back with Chiaki…

"Hmm? Who's this beautiful woman waking Zelda up?" Chiaki wondered.

"Where am I?"

"We didn't mean to startle you. I'm sorry."

…Cherami, is that you? Chiaki thought.

"it' s okay. My name is Sonia."

Chiaki immediately smiled. "That's such a lovely name for her. Ooooh, she's so gorgeous!" She said.

She had failed to hear footsteps coming in as Futaba walked back in with Jade.

"Hey…" Futaba greeted.

"Hey Futaba-chan~! Chiaki-chan's playing Tears of the Kingdom." Haru smiled.

"I-I am… the daughter of King Rhoam of Hyrule. Zelda."

"What an unexpected answer. We are the king and queen who founded Hyrule, after all. Or at least we were, the last time I checked."

Hmm? Does this take place between Skyward Sword and Minish Cap? It almost sounds like it… Chiaki thought.

"You two founded Hyrule? And you're the king?"

"My name is Rauru. King Rauru of Hyrule."

"King Rauru… and Queen Sonia? But that must mean-"

"Oh, the memory ended… I'm sure I'll find the next one soon." Chiaki smiled.

"Ahem." Hajime cleared his throat.

"Hmm? Oh! Hey Futaba!" Chiaki greeted. "I'm just playing some Tears of-... you okay? You look a little sad."

Futaba sighed. "Sorry, I'm just… a bit emotional right now." She said. "I went to go see Fria, but apparently the Rift Portal that Elfilis opened up made some radiation seep into Atlas and it got a hold of Fria pretty hard. She's on death's door right now… she couldn't remember my name."

"Oh gosh…" Chiaki said with a frown. "Wait, radiation? Come to think of it, I think I saw Solar from the Lylat System get closer to one of the worl-... no, now's not the time. C'mere."

Futaba immediately hugged Chiaki, softly crying into her shoulder as Chiaki rubbed her back. "Shhh, it's gonna be okay…" She whispered.

"But… it's not… she's not gonna be okay…" Futaba sniffed, wiping her tears as Haru came over to hug her from behind. "Thanks, Haru…"

"You're welcome~" She said softly as Futaba looked at Chiaki's Switch.

"Oh… have you been to the cave yet?" She asked, attempting to get her mind off things.

"Cave?"

"Yeah, there's a cave entrance near the Lindor's Brow Tower. You'll see a Blupee guiding you to it."

"So THAT'S where it ran off to… okay, making a quick pit stop." She said, fast traveling to the tower and then once the loading screen ended, she made her way down and spotted the cave. "Okay, anything of note aside from a Bubbul Frog?"

"There's a shrine in there."

"Ooooh! Nice!" Chiaki happily walked inside.

"Wait a moment…" Ibuki spoke it. "Futaba-chan, isn't that-"

"Shhh!" Futaba put a finger to her lips as Ibuki smiled while silently giggling.

Ooooh boy… Hajime thought.

"Let's see, the shrine should be around here somewh-" She immediately saw gloom appearing in front of her. "Oh, it can just randomly spawn wherever it pleases. Love… ly… what in the…?"

She saw something come out of the gloom. A few things actually. In fact, the demonic hands turned around and screeched directly at Link.

"Wh-wha-WHAT?! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!" She yelled in horror as she frantically tried to swipe at them, only they snagged a hold of her. "Ack! Get your death grip away from me! Why are my hearts gray and broken?!"

She broke free as she quickly turned the other way and ran off. "Okay, okay… they're probably slow. I can snipe them with a few Bomb Arro- WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE ALREADY BREATHING DOWN MY NECK?!" She screamed as they got a hold of her again. "No no no no NO!"

Game Over

Chiaki blinked, staring at the game over screen, trying to process what she just witnessed while Futaba was stifling her giggles.

"Huh… you don't see that every day…" Jade said while Elfilin fainted at the sight of the Gloom Hands.

"What… the heck… just happened?!" Chiaki asked, finally finding her words.

"Surprise! They're the new Guardians!" Futaba smiled.

"...Oooooh lovely." Chiaki whimpered. "Well, if they're the new guardians, I… I suppose I can have solace that they're not a boss battle…"

"Oh, uh… bit of a spoiler alert, but gloom is grabbing a hold of the Deku Tree and… you're gonna have to fight those assholes."

Chiaki paled. "...I'm gonna need a lot more Bomb Arrows…"

"Excuse us…" A voice said as they turned to see Twilight Zelda walking in with LttP Zelda behind her.

"Oh, hey you two." Chiaki waved.

"You seem a little frazzled." The latter spoke.

"It's… complicated." Chiaki chuckled. "What's up?"

"Listen, um… you wouldn't happen to have the Triforce on you, would you?" Twilight asked.

"Nooooo…? Why would I?"

"Well… it's… a long story. You have a few minutes?"

With Esdeath...

"Wait... what?" Esdeath asked.

"Yes. Apparently their visit gave Fria a few more weeks to live." Ironwood said.

Esdeath frowned. "I'm going to have to give Futaba a hug when Fria finally passes. She's going to need it."

"Indeed. By the way... I failed to mention that she has the network finished."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

Esdeath turned around. "I'll be right back. I'm feeling some Sea Salt Ice Cream."

"For yourself?"
