In Gerudo City, Finn, Ling, and Wolf Link were getting restless, until finally they couldn't take waiting around anymore. They asked the Gerudo for a map of the desert, so they could go to the temple and do a little recon. The Gerudo gave them a map and some supplies for their travels. Finn and Ling set out from the city on horses, while Wolf Link ran alongside them keeping pace. After a few hour they reached the temple and saw the shimmering barrier around it. Wolf Link sniffed the barrier, while Finn and Ling got off their horses to inspect it. Finn touched the barrier and then he poked it with his sword. He then hit the barrier with his blade and it made a sparking sound, but held.

"This is going to a problem." Said Ling.

"You gentlemen admiring my work?" Asked a voice from behind.

Everyone turned to see Ghirahim lounging on a rock and grinning.

"Ghirahim!" Said Finn with a glare.

Wolf Link just growled, which seemed to amuse Ghirahim.

"Your behind this?" Asked Ling.

"I am, did you really think I would leave this temple undefined, so you and your merry band could just waltz on into the Twilight Realm and take on Zant? I not only put a magical barrier up, but I also have a couple of good guards." Said Ghirahim as he snapped his fingers.

The ground began to shake as two large, segmented worm-like creatures burst from the ground and flew into the air. One was red and the other was blue. On each one's head was a pair of large pincers and three large eyes. On their tails, they have what appeared to be stingers. The creatures were known as Twinmold. Finn, Ling, and Wolf Link looked up at the massive monster their bodies tense and ready for action. The Twinmold stopped next to Ghirahim and just floated there.

"Now I could have these two attack you three and end you, but that would be no fun at all. So here's what's going to happen. We're going to play a little game. Wolf boy is going to have a little fight with a different monster and if he wins, I'll let you three go free and I'll give you a little quest info." Said Ghirahim.

Finn and Ling looked uncertain about Ghirahim's offer, but Wolf Link stepped forward ready to fight.

"Are you sure about this?" Asked Ling.

Wolf Link just nodded his head.

"That's the spirit! There's that courageous hero ready to take on the odds!" Said Ghirahim with a grin.

Twinmold went back under the ground and Ghirahim let out a loud whistle. The air was filled with a booming roar as a large saber-toothed tiger with a red ball tail end charged onto the scene. Ghirahim clapped his hands and a small stone arena popped up around Link and his opponent.

"Your opponent is named Syger. I should warn you, his quit ferocious, but I'm guessing your quit fierce as well considering your a wolf now." Said Ghirahim.

Wolf Link ignored Ghirahim and focused on Syger. The monster let out a roar and charged towards the wolf. Wolf Link let out a howl as he charged forward. Both beast leaped into the air and collided with each other. Wolf Link crashed to the ground with Syger on top of him. Syger was twice Wolf Link's size and easily outweighed him, giving the monster a strength advantage over the wolf. Wolf Link glared up at Syger who tried to bite down on his head, but Wolf Link twisted his head at the last second and avoided the attack and bite into Syger's right frontal leg. Syger roared in pain and got off Wolf Link. The heroic wolf quickly got back to his feet and lunged at Syger with his claws. The monster managed to get his body out of the way, but the red ball tipped tail got struck by Wolf Link. Syger let out a deep roar of pain as it stumbled back. Wolf Link blinked his eyes in confusion.

"You found his weak point!" Cheered Finn.

"Keep hammering him!" Cheered Ling.

Wolf Link pressed forward with another charge. Syger swiped at the wolf with his claws, but Wolf Link dodged out of the way and bite Syger's tail making the monster roar in pain. Wolf Link tried to take another bite at Syger's tail, but the monster swatted him with a paw knocking him back. Syger then rolled up into a ball that seemed to covered in spikes and rolled towards Wolf Link. The wolf dodged out of the way as the ball raced by him. The ball hit the wall and went racing back towards Wolf Link, who jumped to the side to avoid the attack. Syger raced by and then got out of his ball form looking a little dizzy. Wolf Link charged at the woozy Syger, who swiped at him, but the wolf was to fast and he fiercely attacked the ball end of the monster's tail with both his fangs and claws. After a few fierce attacks the ball shattered to pieces! Syger let out one last roar before he fell to the ground and exploded. Finn and Ling cheered as the arena vanished.

"Well done! Well done! Quit a nice little battle. I see you still have your touch Link." Said Ghirahim with a smirk.

Wolf Link just growled.

"Now for part of your reward, I'll tell you what you need to do to get into the temple." Said Ghirahim.

"Why don't you just let us in?" Asked Finn.

"Sorry no can do. That would be no fun at all." Said Ghirahim as he shook a finger at Finn.

"Tell us what we have to do." Said Ling.

"You need to gather the Fused Shadow pieces to form the Fused Shadow. I'm sure your other friends know the locations and according to one of my sources a piece has already been retrieved. Now you just need two more pieces." Said Ghirahim.

"So just collect the pieces to form the Fused Shadow to get into the temple to access the portal to the Twilight Realm to stop Zant and his army from invading Hyrule." Said Ling going over the facts.

"That's about the sum of your quest. Happy hunting boys. I'll see you around." Said Ghirahim with a wave and a smile before he vanished.

"I'm really starting to hate that guy." Said Finn.

Wolf Link growled in agreement, while Ling just nodded. Finn and Ling saddled up their horses and started to head back towards Gerudo City with Wolf Link following them.

Miles away at the Yiga Clan hideout, Koume and Kotake were trying to come up with a new plan to take Gerudo City. Kohga's men had spied on the city and had reported that Death Sword had been beaten. Kohga was furious by this and had sent his men out to get in contact with a group of warriors know as the Garo to propose an allianc. The Garo were a band of ninjas like the Yiga, who wore large grey coats and hoods that concealed everything, but their eyes and legs. They were lead by the Garo Master, who wore a purple and red robe, along with a silver beak like mask. The Garo Master was more then happy to team up with Kohga and combine forces. Ghirahim had stopped by the hideout with a strange assortment of resurrected monsters to serve Koume and Kotak. He then said he would come back with a small army to help take Gerudo City before he left. The villain began to make plans.

At Hyrule castle, Zelda and her team had returned from their quest and had cleaned themselves up. An hour later Phoebe and Midna arrived at the palace. Phoebe explained what had happened to Link and they needed the Master Sword to help him, while Midna floated nearby in her shadow form.

"This is indeed troubling. The Master Sword should help Link with his curse." Said Zelda as she removed the Master Sword hanging from the wall and handed it to Phoebe.

"Thanks." Said Phoebe as she took the sword.

"Also I have this for Midna." Said Zelda as she presented the wrapped piece of the Fused Shadow.

"A piece of the Fused Shadow!" Exclaimed Midna as she took the piece.

"I learned it's location along with the other two pieces. I then went to one of the locations with Lapis, Peridot, and Mimi to get it." Explained Zelda.

"Thank you. I'll be sure to put it's power to good use." Said Midna as she stored the piece in her helmet.

Zelda also gave the two heroes a book telling them the locations of the other Fused Shadow pieces. Phoebe and Midna said goodbye as they flew off to Gerudo City, unaware that they were being followed by Vaati who wanted to get his hands on the Fused Shadow pieces.

Finn, Ling, and Wolf Link returned to Gerudo City to rest and wait for Phoebe and Midna to return. However things were fixing to get chaotic in Gerudo City. Deep beneath the catacombs of the coliseum a large pile of rocks began to shake and then it exploded outwards revealing a battered and bleeding Onox. The general's teeth were clenched in anger as he recalled the wounds that were inflected upon him by Link and Finn.

"Those brats are going to pay for what they did! I'll show them my true power and reduce them and this city to ashes!" Declared Onox as his body began to bulk up and change.

Chaos was fixing to hit Gerudo City.
