Disclaimer: I do not own anything, expect the OCs. This is just a story for fun.
Aboard the Mecha Realm, Marco, Kelly, and Pony Head were sneaking around trying to locate Rhombulus and their friends. The trio were forced to hide behind machines and random pieces of junk, whenever they encountered a patrolling robot or a group of Hunters searching for them. Marco grew tired of this and came up with a quick plan. Grabbing some junk from a nearby pile, Marco and his friends put on some dome shaped helmets and managed to strap some metal sheets to their body with wires to make some disguises. The trio then nervously passed a robot to see if their disguises would work. The robot watched them pass, but did nothing and as soon as Marco and his friends were out of sight, they let out a collective sigh of relief, before continuing on with their search.
After some searching the trio by chance stumbled into Scrapperton's throne room. Lucky for them Scrapperton wasn't present in the room. The throne room, had a large metal throne, a few odd collectible electronic toys and other collectibles, and a large strange mirror that appeared to be missing a couple dozen pieces. Marco and his friends were studying the mirror, when they heard the sounds of approaching feet. The three friends quickly ducked behind a shelf full of comic books as Scrapperton and a couple of Hunters entered the room and headed over to the mirror. One of the Hunters reached into his pocket and pulled out a couple of mirror shards and handed them to Scrapperton. The collector held them up to the mirror and the shards flew to it feeling a couple of holes in it.
"Ah Cogsmith, the crown jewel of our collection is nearly complete! Tick Tock!" Said Scrapperton before he and the Hunters left the room.
Marco and his friends crept out of their hiding spot and cast one last glance at the mirror before leaving the room to continue with the search for their friends.
Down on Hyrule, Diablo Dog, Onyx, Raven, Robin, and Starfire had just arrived. The little group was a few hundred yards away from the castle near a small pond. Diablo Dog and Onyx turned to Raven.
"Alright now here's what we want you to do. Your going to project a giant psychic bird and fly over that castle a couple of times, until you see a little girl with black hair and red eyes begin to follow you. Once she starts following you, you lead her back this way and will do the rest. Once that is all said and done, you and your friends are free to go and will return to your home universe." Said Diablo Dog.
"Let's get this over with." Said Raven as she used her powers to conjure to create a giant psychic bird and took flight towards the castle.
At the castle Mimi was taking a nightly stroll through the courtyard. The little girl was enjoying herself and was looking around at what everyone else was doing. Lapis and Peridot were sitting on a bench together gazing up at the stars and Zelda was talking to a guard next to a fountain. Everything seemed peaceful in the castle, when suddenly a large dark shape flew by getting everyone's attention. At first the thing flew by to fast for anyone to clearly see what it was, but then it flew around and everyone could see it more clearly. It was a giant black bird. Mimi stared up at the bird transfixed by the sight of it as a memory of someone dear to her played through. As she looked closely she could just make out a figure with a blue hood and cape in the center of the bird.
"Raven?" Thought Mimi with a tiny bit of shock.
It couldn't possibly be. Raven had supposedly died in a explosion trying to kill Him, yet there she was. Mimi supposed that Raven could have survived that day, since Mimi hadn't actually seen Raven die. Mimi needed to get to the bottom of this and though a small part of her warned her not to, she began to follow the large bird. As the bird flew over the wall Mimi took a tremendous leap using her super strength and took to the sky. At first it seemed like Mimi was going to fall back to the ground as she flew over the castle wall, but instead of doing that she kept on going through the sky. Mimi was flying! It took Mimi a few seconds that she was flying by her own power. A smile broke out across Mimi's face as she took off after the bird leaving a red streak of light across the sky as she flew.
Back in the courtyard, Lapis and Peridot had seen the bird and recognized it as being similar to the one they in the film about Mimi's past and universe. The two gems realized that the bird must be some kind of trap for Mimi, but before they could do anything to stop her, Mimi had leaped into the sky and flew after the bird. Peridot and Lapis were momently taken by surprise by Mimi's power of flight, but quickly recovered and ran over to Zelda.
"What's going on, what was that creature?" Asked Zelda.
"No time to explain, but we think Mimi might be in danger." Said Lapis.
"Then we need to go help her." Said Zelda.
Peridot grabbed her backpack and a metal shield she could stand and levitate herself on with her powers, while Lapis grabbed Zelda, summoned her water wings and took flight. The three took off in the direction Mimi went.
Mimi was a few hundred yards away from the castle, when she saw the bird dive down into the forest below. She dove after the bird and landed in a clearing with the back of the cloaked person facing her.
"Raven?" Asked Mimi as she took a hesitant step towards the figure.
"I am Raven, but...I'm not the Raven you know." Said the figure as she turned to face Mimi and lowered her hood.
Mimi could see that, though the women before her did resemble Raven, it wasn't the Raven she knew. This made Mimi angry, because she had been tricked.
"Imposter!" Yelled Mimi as she pointed an accusing finger at Raven.
It was then that Diablo Dog leaped out from behind a tree and slammed into Mimi's back pinning her to the ground.
"She might be an imposter, but you fell for her and now we got you! Your dad is going to be happy to see you!" Laughed Diablo Dog.
Mimi gritted her teeth in anger and slammed her head back into the demon's face making him shout in pain and let go. The young girl took to the sky, but before she could go anywhere Raven chanted a spell and grabbed Mimi with her psychic powers slamming her to the ground! Mimi let out a cry of pain as Onyx, Robin, and Starfire leaped out from some bushes to join Raven and Diablo Dog. Onyx went over to Raven and put some glowing red shackles on her arms to restrain her.
"Way to go Raven!" Cheered Robin.
"Look kid this is nothing personal. This was the only part of a deal, where me and my friends can get our freedom." Said Raven as she looked at Mimi.
"Selfish heroes." Said Mimi with glare.
"Don't judge me." Growled Raven.
"We got the kid!" Cheered Onyx.
Back at the Chaos Club and Casino the monsters and demons were cheering at what appeared to be the outcome of the hunt. The Batter and a few other customers growled at what appeared to be a loss for them. King Dice just grinned and began to address the crowd.
"Well there you have it folks. It looks like third time was the charm and our boys have finally caught the allusive Mimi. Got to give them credit on their determination and ingenuity. They really pulled one on that kid."
"Hey something is going on!" Shouted a monster pointing at one of the screens.
On the screens, Lapis, Peridot, and Zelda had landed in the clearing and were confronting the villains.
"It appears it's not over yet folks! Seems we got some interlopers. Will our boys be able to beat them and claim their target. It's double or nothing!" Said King Dice.
The demons and monsters started to make new bets.
In Hyrule Zelda, Peridot, and Lapis took in the scene before them. Mimi smiled a little as her friends took up battle stances. Robin looked at the newcomers and decided to try to negotiate with them.
"Look, whoever you are, this doesn't concern you."
"Well it looks like your trying to kidnap our friend, so I think this concerns us." Said Lapis.
"Um...ok." Said Robin.
"I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule, you are on my planet and are attempting to commit a grave crime by kidnapping one of my friends. If you kindly release Mimi, we will allow you to leave, but if you refuse, you will suffer the consequences." Said Zelda as she notched a light arrow to her bow.
"As if we would give her up. There are five of us and three of you." Said Diablo Dog.
"Wait...what?" Asked Robin.
"You and your friends are fighting to." Said Diablo Dog.
"I have the feeling that this deal is getting worse." Said Starfire.
At that moment Lapis and Peridot went into action. Peridot used her powers to remove the shackles from Mimi's hands, while Lapis used her powers to conjure up a water arm and slammed it into Diablo Dog and Starfire knocking them away. Onyx tried to attack the group, but Zelda fired a light arrow into his shoulder and made the villain stagger back. Mimi kicked Onyx in the back knocking him down to the ground. Robin pulled out his staff to attack, but Peridot grabbed it with her powers and caused it to swing back striking Robin in the forehead making him fall on his back moaning. Raven had just about enough of this. She put up her hood and four red eyes began to glow underneath it and she grabbed a bunch of trees with her powers and began to lift them up and throw them at Lapis, Peridot, and Zelda. Zelda managed to duck and dodge a tree, while both Lapis and Peridot were struck and pinned down.
"Enough of THIS! We are talking the girl! She's my ticket to my freedom and nothing is going to stand in my way!" Declared Raven.
Seeing her friends gets hurt and listening to that selfish women struck a nerve with Mimi. She felt her blood boil as she reached out with her own psychic powers and lifted the tree off of Lapis and Peridot and dropped it on the ground a few feet away.
"So you have some psychic powers? Big deal! Your still coming with us!" Said Raven as she was fixing to grab more trees and throw them at everyone.
Mimi pointed a hand at Raven and used her psychic powers to grab a couple of trees near her and slam them together on Raven! Raven just barely managed to throw up a barrier and protect herself. The trees shattered against the barrier, but before Raven could do anything else Mimi had closed the distance and had grabbed the front of Raven's uniform. Raven looked down at Mimi and saw the anger in her eyes and it sent a shiver down her spine.
"Hurt my friends." Growled Mimi as she slammed Raven through a tree.
Raven let out a gasp of pain as her eyes turned back to their normal number and color. Mimi yanked Raven out of the tree and flew into the sky above. Raven desperately tried to escape from Mimi by slamming a fist of psychic energy at the little girl, but it had no affect on her. The two were now a hundred feet in the air, when Mimi decided it was time to head back down. Mimi raced downwards with a screaming Raven in front of her. As they got near the ground Mimi slammed her free hand into Raven's face just as they hit the ground creating a crater and kicking up a lot of dust in the process. The dust soon cleared to reveal Mimi standing over a battered Raven, who had a broken nose and was missing most of her teeth.
"Puny bird." Said Mimi looking down at the defeated enemy.
It was then that Diablo Dog leaped up in the air above Mimi.
"I'm going to maul you and then I'm going to kill all of your little friends!" Declared Diablo Dog as he came down at Mimi with his claws extended and mouth opened wide.
"Putting you DOWN!" Yelled Mimi as she turned around to face the evil canine and fired two beams of red energy at him with her eyes.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhhh!" Screamed Diablo Dog as he was enveloped by the lasers and completely destroyed.
"Yeah I'm out of here!" Said Onyx with a panicked look on his face after seeing, his partner get destroyed.
Onyx had only managed to run a few feet, when he felt something wrap around his legs and he tripped and fell to the ground. The villain looked down to see that the shackles that had been wrapped around his legs. Peridot stood by with a smirk on, her face. Onyx managed to push himself up, but before he could do anything else a light arrow struck him in the chest! The demon stared at the arrow in shock before he let out a scream before exploding into a bunch of tiny rock shards.
"I be doing the surrender!" Said Starfire as she raised her hands in surrender to Zelda and the others.
At the Chaos Club and Casino the demons and monsters were going wild with the destruction of Onyx and Diablo Dog.
"Well folks it looks like our boys have lost and there's out of the game for good. Those who betted against Onyx and Diablo Dog come up and collect your winnings." Said King Dice.
The Batter and a few others went up and collected their winning as the tv screens went off.
Back in Hyrule, Mimi went over to Lapis and Peridot and hugged both of them happy for them coming to her aid.
"Thank you." Said Mimi.
While that was going, Robin came to his senses and took a look at the surrounding area, it only took him a few seconds to realize his comrades had been defeated or had surrendered. Robin saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he started to crawl away, but only got a few feet, when he bumped into a pair of legs. He looked up to see Rob and Bobert looking down at him.
"Um...hey...Rob." Said Robin as he gave a nervous smile.
"Back to the Void with you." Said Rob as he pointed his remote at Robin and pressed a button.
A portal to the Void opened up beneath Robin and he fell through it with a scream. Rob pointed the remote at the unconscious form of Raven and opened up a portal beneath her, which she through. The two portals closed and Rob opened up a third portal next to Starfire who had just silently been standing nearby. Rob pointed at the portal and Starfire flew into it. The portal then closed.
"And who exactly are you two?" Asked Zelda.
"Well I'm Rob and that's Bobert. You can say we're the jailers of those three people you saw get banished. As a token of our thanks for dealing with, here's a gift basket." Said Rob as he pressed a button on his remote and a gift basket appeared before the heroes.
Rob then opened up another portal and he and Bobert left the scene.
"Well that was rather strange." Said Zelda.
Peridot and Lapis nodded in agreement, while Mimi helped herself to a muffin from the gift basket. The four ladies headed back towards the castle with their gift basket.
Miles away, Link was making his way through the ruins of an ancient temple, when he came across a large room. At the end of the room he saw Midna, without her helmet, hanging from the wall in a large spiderweb. Link, began to run towards her, but as he got closer to Midna, he saw a panicked look in her eyes, a split second he heard the sound of an energy blast being fired from behind. The hero quickly and rolled to the side, barely avoiding being hit by a red energy blast.
"Nicely done Link, your reflexes are quit sharp." Said Veran as she appeared next to Midna and grinned at the hero.
"So are you going to fight me witch?" Asked Link.
"Oh no, I'm not going to fight you, but someone else will. Vaati your on." Said Veran as she pointed at someone behind Link.
Link spun around and saw Vaati, only this time, he was different. Vaati was much taller now wearing a black robe that shimmered and waved like smoke. He had golden armored shoulder pads and a small golden crown on his head. Vaati's hair was longer and hung at his shoulders and his eyes were bright red.
"The great hero, Link. A worthy challenge to test my new powers on." Said Vaati with a grin as six purple spheres with yellow eyes on them rose up and hovered around him.
"Link! Be careful, he touched the Fused Shadow pieces and got a bunch of dark energy from them!" Cried Midna.
Vaati let out a mad laugh as he pointed his hands forward and fired two beams of energy from them along with the sphere, who fired lasers as well at Link. Link managed to dodge most of the lasers and blocked one with his shield, but the force of the laser pushed him back a few feet and nearly knocked him down. Vaati stopped his barrage to let out another evil laugh. Link just grimaced. He had a feeling, he was only seeing a small glimpse of Vaati's power and the battle was only getting started. Link prepared for battle as he wondered, how Finn and the others were doing.
Outside the temple Finn, Ling, and Phoebe were locked in battle with Veran's minions. Waves of spiders and bats attacked the heroes, who quickly destroyed them as fast as they could Agunima laughed as he made copies of himself and they all flew towards Ling and threw energy balls at him. Ling dodged the energy attack and struck at one of the Agunimas with his sword, only to have his blade to pass harmlessly through it. Ling gritted his teeth and stuck at another Agunima, only to be met by the same results.
"You'll never find the real me!" Laughed Agunima.
It seemed like Agunima might be right, but then flew by overhead blasting bats with her fire and casting some light. Ling noticed that only one of the Agunimas cast a shadow in the light. He struck at the Agunima with the shadow, slashing it across the chest and it screamed in pain as it fell to the ground. The other Agunims vanished as Ling picked the real one up and used Greed's power to armor up his arm to deliver a powerful punch to the monster's head. Agunima flew through the air and crashed through the wall of a small building. Ling went back to fighting spiders.
Up in the air above Phoebe blasted away at bats and fought Grim Keeper and his eagle, who went by the name Evil Eagle. Phoebe took down some bats and dodged some razor sharp feathers thrown by Evil Eagle. Grim Keeper played his flute and summoned more bats to attack, Phoebe. The fiery princess flew past the new group of bats and threw a fireball at the skeleton. The fireball struck Grim Keeper's flute destroying if and causing him to let out a panicked scream.
"My flute! Oh this is to intense for me! Retreat Eagle!"
Evil Eagle flew away from the scene with Grim Keeper.
"That's a first." Said Phoebe as she went to finish off the last of the bats.
Down below, Finn was dodging rocks and pots thrown by Facade. He ducked a flying rock and reached Facade stabbing him in the eye. Facade screamed and reappeared several yards away to throw more rocks and pots at Finn, who nimbly dodged them, reached Facade, and stabbed him in the other eye. Facade let out another scream as his face vanished in a flash of light from the floor. Finn went off to help Ling take down the last of the spiders.
Inside the temple, Link was dodging lasers from Vaati as he charged at him, but every time, he reached the mage, he would simply teleport away and reappear in another part of the room to fire more lasers at Link forcing him to dodge about again. Link was managing to avoid the attacks, but his stamina was beginning to waver. A laser beam grazed Link's right shoulder and another grazed his left knee making him shout in pain and fall to his knees. Vaati laughed as he stopped his attack and floated over to Link.
"The mighty Link, I guess your not as tough as the legends claimed you to be. What an utter disappointment. Don't worry your death will be swift and I promise to keep good care of Midna for you. I'll even undo the curse on her and she will be my bride!" Said Vaati as a sword appeared in his righthand and he prepared to swing it down on Link.
"Link!" Cried Midna.
Vaati swung down at Link and the hero blocked it with lightning fast reflexes and pushed Vaati back. The mage stumbled back and fired a laser from his lefthand at Link. Link ducked beneath the laser charged at Vaati and sliced him across the chest and destroying a couple of Vaati's spheres in the process. Vaati screamed in rage and pain as dark energy leaked from his wound and he swung his blade at Link. The Triforce on Link's left hand began to grow as he met Vaati's swing. There was a thunderous clang as Vaati's sword went spinning through the air and straight towards Veran's face! Veran managed to move her head out of the way, but the blade sliced her left cheek a little leaving a scratch, before imbedding itself in the wall. Link then unleashed a barrage of sword slashes on Vaati destroying the other four spheres. Vaati collapsed to the ground with dark energy leaking from several slash wounds on his body. Link turned to face Veran, who held a hand to her wounded cheek.
"Nicely done Link. You may claim the princess and the Fused Shadow pieces. I suggest you hurry, for this place is about to go down." Said Veran before she vanished in a flash of light.
Link ran over to Midna and cut her down, before he picked her up and embraced her.
"Are you ok?" Asked Link.
"I am now thanks to you." Said Midna with a smile.
The two exchanged smiles and the temple began to shake and crumble. Midna grabbed the Fused Shadow pieces and she and Link ran leaving the unconscious form of Vaati behind.
Outside the temple, Finn and the others had finished off the spiders and Phoebe had destroyed the blockage in front of the temple entrance, when the place started to shake and Link and Midna came rushing out saying they needed to evacuate. The heroes quickly ran away as the temple and ruins began to collapse.
"Well that was a rush." Said Finn.
The others agreed and Phoebe saw Link and Midna exchanging smiles and smiled a little.
At the wrecked remains of the ruins, Agunima pushed some rocks off himself and stood up looking around at his surroundings. Agunima was about to go looking for his master Veran, when a hand busted out of the wreckage and smashed through his chest! The monster let out a gasp of pain as Vaati rose from the wreckage before him. Vaati smiled as Agunima burst into a black cloud of smoke and then he sucked it into his mouth absorbing the energy and using it to heal his wounds. Thoughts of revenge played through Vaati's mind as he floated off through the night sky.
Miles away in a cave, Veran was meeting up with Ghirahim.
"Master Ghirahim I have just discovered a weakness in Link, that we can exploit. I have a brilliant plan to destroy him once he collects all the Fused Shadow pieces." Said Veran.
Ghirahim smiled as he listened to the plan.
To be continued.
