Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.

Zelda, Mimi, and Lapis faced off against Vaati, Morpha, and Bellum who was controlling an armored Peridot. The princess could sense that her friends were greatly distressed by seeing Peridot get taken over by the enemy and forced to fight her. Vaati could sense the two's uneasiness and grinned wickedly. Zelda fired light arrows at Vaati forcing him to dodge around, Bellum charged at Mimi swinging a large sword forcing the girl to jump back, and Lapis got into a battle of water control and wills with Morpha.

Morpha's real body was the eye in the tentacle, which was made of water. Lapis was trying to gain control of the watery limb, so she could make it burst and attack Morpha's real body, but the monster had good control of the water that surrounded it's body and Lapis was unable to wrestle control from it. Lapis gritted her teeth as she continued to take control over the water surrounding Morpha's body, but was having no success. Morpha then swung it's tentacle at Lapis forcing her to summon her water wings and take flight to avoid the attack. Lapis floated a couple of yards above Morph, who looked up at her and created three more water tentacles to surround itself and strike at Lapis. The blue gem quickly conjured up some water arms from the nearby water to counter the tentacles. The watery appendages wrestled with one another in a stalemate. Lapis realized she wasn't getting anywhere with her current strategy, so she started coming up with a new strategy. The blue gem saw an old spear laying on the ground nearby and conjured up a water arm to grab it. The arm then hurled the spear at Morpha from the side. The monster was so focused on the battle between the water appendages that it didn't see the attack coming, until it struck it's real body and knocked it out of the tentacle. The tentacles melted into puddles of water, as Morpha's real hit the ground.

"Direct hit!" Thought Lapis with a grin.

Morpha's real body had been pierced by the spear and badly injured, but it wasn't out of the fight yet. The monster managed to roll it's eye body to dislodge the spear and made a beeline for some water, but Lapis wasn't going to let that happen. She conjured up a giant hand out of the water Morpha had been heading towards and brought it slamming down on the monster. Morpha let out a scream of pain before it's body exploded into a bunch of dark particles.

"Now that's out of the way time to save Peridot and Mimi." Thought Lapis as she went to assist her friends.

Mimi was not having a good time fighting Bellum. She was hesitant to attack because, she didn't want to hurt Peridot who was being controlled by the vile creature. Mimi couldn't use her eye beams to attack and she didn't feel confident enough with her ice breath to freeze Peridot, due to the fact she had very little practice with the power and she might end up freezing and shattering her friend along with the monster that was controlling her. Bellum charged at Mimi swinging his sword down at her and Mimi just barely jumped out of the way in time as the sword slammed into the ground, where she once stood. Mimi took a deep breath as she clenched her righthand into a fist. She knew she had to take action against Bellum quickly, otherwise she would die. The girl just simply had to hit Bellum hard enough to either stun him or knock him out. Then Mimi could figure out how to break Peridot out from Bellum's control.

"Sorry Peridot." Said Mimi before she swung her right fist at Bellum.

Mimi's fist was aimed at Bellum's helmeted head, but it just stopped and froze a few inches from the helmet. This at first confused Mimi, since she didn't stop her attack. She tried to move her arm, but her fist refused to move. Mimi tried to move her other arm to attack, but her left fist refused to budge as well. This confused Mimi at first, but then a sudden shiver of dread went down as she realized what was going on. Bellum was using Peridot's powers over metal to take control of the metal of Mimi's robotic hands!

"Not good!" Thought Mimi as she felt herself lifted off the ground by her metal hands.

Bellum had his armored hand raised and was using Peridot's powers to levitate Mimi in the air by her metal hands. The monster then waved it's hand and Mimi was sent flying back towards a column. Just when it seemed like she was about to hit it, Lapis flew in and caught Mimi.

"I got you!" Said Lapis with a grunt as she caught Mimi.

"Thank you." Said Mimi.

"Don't worry Mimi, will get Peridot back to normal." Said Lapis with a smile.

Lapis flew over towards Bellum and looked down at the armored monster.

"I know your still in their Peridot. You need to fight this thing! If you can show us a weak point, we can help get rid of this creature. Please you have to fight it!" Said Lapis.

Bellum's response was to raise both it's arms up and use Peridot's powers to levitate various pieces of armor and weapons up from the area and into the air. Both Lapis and Mimi's yes went wide as they realized what was about to happen. Bellum waved his sword forward and all the metal objects flew towards the two heroes. Lapis, who was still carrying Mimi took evasive action and flew about dodging all the objects.

Nearby Zelda was still fighting Vaati, when she looked over and saw the carnage Bellum was causing. Vaati took this opportunity to shrink down and get behind Zelda before he returned to his normal size and blasted the princess with a gust of wind. Zelda crashed to the ground and her satchel got knocked away from her.

"You really shouldn't take your eyes off your enemy in the middle of a battle princess. It's very unwise." Said Vaati as he walked over to Zelda's satchel and picked it up.

The mage began to go through it's contents and found the wrapped up piece of the Fused Shadow. Vaati began to remove the cloth and look at the mystical item. He then reached down to touch the item.

"Don't touch it! It's a dark item that has tremendous dark power, there's no telling what it can do to you once you touch it!" Cried Zelda as she stood up.

"Oh I intend to find out." Said Vaati as he touched the Fused Shadow piece and held it up.

The Fused Shadow piece glowed with dark energy as Vaati held it. The mage felt a surge of energy go through his body and it was nothing like he felt before. Vaati's eyes glowed bright red and he began to laugh.

"This power is incredible!" Declared Vaati.

Zelda quickly decided to take action, while Vaati was distracted with his enjoyment with the Fused Shadow piece. The princess notched a light arrow to her bow and fired at Vaati. The arrow struck Vaati in his right shoulder making his shout in pain and drop the Fused Shadow piece. Zelda charged at Vaati firing another arrow at him forcing the villain to retreat. Vaati glared at Zelda as she wrapped the Fused Shadow piece in a cloth and picked it up. The mage yanked the arrow out of his shoulder and dark energy leaked out of the wound and closed it.

"Oh your going to regret that and I'm going to be taking that part of the Fused Shadow back." Sneered Vaati as he conjure up four small dark spheres that grew red eyes on them.

"Fine come and get it!" Yelled Zelda as she towards the chaos Bellum was causing.

Vaati let out a little curse as he and the eye sphere took off after Zelda. Lapis was still carrying Mimi as she continued to fly and dodge the crazy metal storm Bellum was flinging at her and Mimi. Mimi could sense that Lapis was growing tired from the dodging and decided to take action by using her psychic powers to lift up a bunch of stones from the ground and crash them against the armor and weapons Bellum was flinging at her and Lapis. It was total chaos.

Zelda was dodging about just barely avoiding the flying derby. The eye spheres chased after and tried to blast her with energy beams, but they all got hit with metal and rocks and they were destroyed. Vaati let out a scream of pain as a rock slammed into his left arm with a crunch and it hung limply by his side. The mage let out a curse as his magic began to heal the injury. Zelda ran through the chaos and saw Bellum up ahead, with his back facing her. The princess saw that Bellum's body was attached to the armor's back. The central eye in Bellum's body looked at the princess with alarm as she fired a light arrow into it making the armor shake and shudder. Bellum lost control of the metal and it all crashed to the ground. The monster whirled it's armor around to attack Zelda with it's sword. Zelda looked up at Lapis and Mimi.

"We need to pin this thing down and attack it's back! The central eye is it's weakness!" Called Zelda.

Lapis nodded as she and Mimi landed on the ground. The blue gem used her powers to conjure up some water arms that grabbed Bellum's arms and slammed the armor to the ground. She then conjured up some water and froze it into a large icicle hovering over Bellum. Lapis slammed the icicle into Bellum's central eye and the monster let out an agonizing scream of pain as it let go of the armored body. The suit of armor vanished leaving nothing, but Peridot behind, as Bellum squirmed in the air and exploded into a bunch of sand. Zelda looked over at Vaati, who had just finished healing his arm and glared at the heroes.

"This is far from over." Said Vaati as he took flight and exited the chamber.

Mimi and Lapis ran over to Peridot, who was sitting up and looking shameful.

"Oh...Lapis! Oh Mimi! I'm so sorry! My powers and body were used against you and both nearly died because of me!" Cried Peridot.

Mimi looked at Peridot with sympathy. She knew what it was like to be used against people you cared about, but she also knew that you shouldn't be blaming yourself if someone was controlling you and you had no control of your actions.

"Not your fault." Said Mimi.

"What?" Asked Peridot looking a little confused.

"What happened wasn't your fault Peridot. That thing was controlling you and made you attack us against your will, so don't blame yourself for what happened. That Vaati guy is the one to blame." Said Lapis.

"I suppose...your logic makes sense." Said Peridot as she began to smile a little.

Lapis just smiled, helped Peridot up and embraced her. Mimi joined in on the embrace and Zelda just smiled at the tender moment.

The Fused Shadow piece was theirs and they had beaten their enemy. The group began their journey back to the palace.

To be continued.
