Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
Up in the sky above Hyrule was the Mecha Realm, the home of Scrapperton and his collection. A beetle ship had just docked itself at the docking bay and out marched a group of hunters with a captive Marco, Kelly, and Pony Head. A one foot tall robot that resembled a firefly flew up to the group and a holographic screen appeared hovering in front of it. Scrapperton appeared on the screen and surveyed the group.
"It's a brain in a jar attached to a robot." Whispered Marco in awed shock.
"This is like some kind of weird horror movie." Whispered Kelly.
"What have we here?" Scrapperton asked one of the Hunters.
"We collected some specimens from the surface. I think they'll make nice additions to your collection." Said the Hunter.
A Hunter that held the bag with Pony Head in it stepped forward and opened the bag up to show the prisoner. Pony Head stuck herself out of the bag and looked up at Scrapperton in both alarm and disgust.
"Ah this dude is seriously freaky! His like all brain! That's nasty!"
"Interesting creature, though she does have a sharp tongue. Proceed to the crystal chamber, for Rhombulus to crystallize for the collection." Said Scrapperton before the holographic screen vanished.
"Rhombulus is here?" Thought Marco recognizing the name as the Hunters hustled him and Kelly along deeper into the Mecha Realm.
Pony Head was pushed back into the bag and the other Hunters moved on. The floating head was annoyed by her current situation and she didn't like the sound of being frozen in crystal and added to some freaky brain nerd's collection. The group was walking on a walkway that expanded over a large chasm, when Pony Head adjusted herself in the bag and used her horn to tear the bag open! Pony Head shot out of the bag like a speeding bullet towards Marco and Kelly taking the Hunters by surprise. Marco and Kelly took this opportunity to attack the Hunters next to them. Kelly kicked one Hunter in the shin, while Marco karate kicked another Hunter in the face. Both Hunters went down as Pony Head sliced through her friends's bonds.
"Let's ditch this place!" Yelled Pony Head as the Hunters began to recover from their surprise and regroup and surround the group.
"We're surrounded!" Said Kelly as they backed towards the edge of the walkway.
Marco cast his eyes over the edge at the chasm as a crazy idea began to form in his mind. He cast a look to Pony Head and motioned to the chasm with his eyes. Pony Head seemed to understand what Marco was planning and grinned with excitement.
"Only way to go is down." Said Marco.
"You can't be serious." Said Kelly as she cast a nervous look at the chasm.
"Oh, his serious. Grab on! All aboard the pony express!" Said Pony Head.
Marco and Kelly grabbed onto Pony Head, who lifted them into the air with a grunt and flew out into open space. The Hunters watched in stunned shock as Pony Head flew a hundred yards from the walkway with her two friends and then they began to slowly descend down the chasm and became lost from sight.
"I'm...guessing we're not going to be paid." Said one of the Hunters.
A few hundred yards below the walkway, Pony Head was panting as she floated through the air towards another walkway. The group soon reached it and collapsed. Pony Head fell to the walkway in exhaustion, while Marco and Kelly collapsed in fear. After a few minutes of resting the three friends got up.
"We should leave this place." Said Kelly.
"Unfortunately we can't. This Scrapperton guy has Rhombulus and I think...Star and Buff Frog might be here as well." Said Marco.
"How do you figure that?" Asked Pony Head.
"We'll both Star and Buff Frog went to Hyrule before they disappeared and now we know that Rhombulus is here. Star told me that Rhombulus has a thing for following people, he thinks are evil and then crystallizing them. My guess is Rhombulus followed Star to Hyrule because he saw she was with Buff Frog and because he was a monster, Rhombulus assumed Star was up to something evil and chased after them and crystallized the two of them. Then Scrapperton must have captured them to add to his collection and use Rhombulus's powers to crystallize living things for his collection." Said Marco.
"Whoa, that makes a lot of sense." Said Kelly.
"Well if Star and Buff Frog are here, then we have to find them." Said Pony Head.
"Exactly." Said Marco.
The trio of friends snuck off and began to search for their captive friends.
Down on Hyrule, Midna woke up in a strange stone room, secured to a wall by what appeared to be a giant spiderweb. Midna also noticed that the piece of the Fused Shadow she wore on her head was no longer there, meaning she had no powers.
"Ah, I see your awake." Said Veran as she appeared in Midna's view.
"Did you take the Fused Shadow pieces to your master Zant?" Asked Midna with a growl.
"You honestly believe Zant is my master? Oh please, Zant is merely a tool. His a puppet ruler at best and besides I wouldn't trust the power of the Fused Shadow to him, even if is currently incomplete." Said Veran.
"So where are the Fused Shadow pieces then? I know that the pieces can give a Twili a little power, but nothing truly special." Said Midna.
"That is true. You need all the pieces to be together for the real power, but the pieces have a unique affect on non Twili." Said Veran as she gestured to the far side of the room.
Midna looked to see Vaati standing and holding the pieces of the Fused Shadow in his hands. Vaati had an insane grin on his face as his eyes glowed red and his body glowed with a dark aura. Midna shuddered at the sight and Veran chuckled.
"Your brave heroes are in for a surprise." Said Veran.
Midna just glared at Veran in anger.
In the Land of Tainted Souls, at the Chaos Club and Casino, Diablo Dog was using his super sense of smell on the ghostly image of Raven to get her location. This got the attention of King Dice and a pale stoic man dressed in a white baseball uniform, who went by the name Batter.
(Author's Note: Batter is from the video game OFF. King Dice is from the video game Cupehead, which I forgot to mention in the last chapter.)
"What are you gents up to with this young lady?" Asked King Dice.
"We're going to get this girl to help us in capturing the boss's daughter." Said Onyx.
"Just have to locate this girl first." Said Diablo Dog as he continued sniffing.
"Your going after the kid you failed twice to capture." Said Batter with a tiny bit of taunt.
"Yes, but this time, we plan to succeed." Said Onyx with a glare.
"Got the location." Said Diablo Dog as he opened a dimensional portal and the ghostly image of Raven vanished.
"Happy hunting gentlemen." Said King Dice with a smile and a wink.
Onyx and Diablo Dog entered the portal, but before it closed King Dice threw a poker chip at it.
The poker chip grew bat wings and an eye before it entered the closing portal and vanished. King Dice tapped the bar and a bunch of tv screens appeared all over the club showing a live video feed of Onyx and Diablo Dog going through dimensional space.
"Attention all you ghouls and demons, we have a special treat for you today. Two of our own, Diablo Dog and Onyx are going on a mission to capture the boss's daughter Mimi. They have already failed twice, but will the third time be the charm? Place your bets and will just see." Boomed King Dice.
Crowds began to gather in front of the screens and make bets.
"I bet they fail." Said the Batter.
"Perhaps, but it should prove entertaining either way." Said King Dice.
Onyx and Diablo Dog arrived in the Void, where they met Raven, Robin, and Starfire.
"So your Raven." Said Onyx as he pointed at Raven.
"I am." Said Raven.
"This will work out nicely." Said Diablo Dog.
"So I'm helping catch some guy's daughter?" Asked Raven.
"You are. You resemble a friend of the girl and that makes you the perfect bait. It also helps that you have the same powers as her." Said Onyx.
"Ok...I'll help, in exchange for my freedom and my friends's freedom." Said Raven.
"Deal." Said Diablo Dog.
The demons opened a portal and they entered it followed by Raven, Robin, Starfire, and King Dice's poker chip and they headed towards Hyrule.
On Hyrule, Link and Finn's group had arrived at the ruins that the scroll had instructed them to go. The heroes dismounted their horses and entered the ruins. They soon came across an old temple and were fixing to enter it, when several large spiders came out of the surrounding area and surrounded the heroes. A red cloaked figure with glowing yellow eyes appeared before the group cackling.
"I am Agunima and by order of Lady Veran, my associate Grim Keeper and I will destroy you!"
The heroes heard the flapping of wings and looked up to see a large red eagle carrying a skeleton dressed in a red robe, who must have been the Grim Keeper. The Grim Keeper pulled out a flute and began to play it. A swarm of bats appeared in the sky around the Grim Keeper and his eagle. Agunima let out another laugh and the spiders and bats attacked. Phoebe fired several fireballs at the bats, while the others slashed at the spiders with their swords. Link fought his way through and dashed into the temple. Finn was fixing to follow after him, but Agunima gave a command to a hidden enemy.
"Block the entrance Facade!"
A large pair of evil gleaming eyes and a smirking mouth merged from the ground before the temple entrance. Finn watched in shock as a bunch of lose tiles and a bunch of broken clay pots levitated into the air and formed together into a massive block in front of the temple entrance. Link who was in the temple looked back to see the block cover the entrance. It appeared Link would have to face whatever challenges lied ahead and save Midna by himself.
To be continued.
