Link had been in the chariot to Neighagra Falls for a good 5 minutes. He had noted how some the towns he had pass seemed so similar to him, and yet so very different. Canterlot was much like the Castle Town in a sense, and Ponyville like Kakariko Village. But they had things he could not even think about, and yet many things he had seen so often in his journeys. It was confusing to say the least.

Umm, Link...

What is it Fluttershy?

Do you think that this place we're going to... is dangerous?

I can expect it, the treasure there has to have monsters in there to protect it.

Monsters!

Don't worry, monsters are not things I haven't dealt with before.

Oh good, you seem so brave. 'And cute.'

I guess so, I know that this was not what I was expecting. But then again, I was not expecting to go from a ram herder to a hero, just like that.

Oh, sounds like a strange way to become a hero.

Believe me, some things even I didn't get, but I went along with it nonetheless.

Good for you. 'Oh, he's so humble.'

"We're here!"

Link turned to the guard and saw over his shoulder the waterfall. It shocked Link how beautiful it was. Almost made him regret not trying to see the Twilight sunset during his last adventure.

"You okay?"

Link shook his head, and nodded at the stallion. He motioned to go down, which the puller understood. When they landed, Link got off and proceeded to take out a cyan gem and pointed at it.

"Thats right, just speak into it, and I'll pick you up."

Link nodded and the pegasus flew off. Link then looked for an entrance for a shrine. When he failed to do so, he assumed it was underwater.

Well, this is probably why the treasure is so well guarded. The entrance isn't even on the surface.

But how are going to go underwater?

I have something that will help. Link thought as he took out his Zora Armor and began to put it on. Fluttershy didn't know what it was.

What is that?

Zora Armor, it allows me to breath underwater.

Really! I can just imagine all the fish I can talk to.

I bet. Link had put on his Armor and put away his Hero's clothes. He proceeded to then get a running start to the water and dove in. As he did, he put a veil over his face and began to swim down. It was 5 minute before he found the cave entrance.

Blocked? No problem.

Link put on his Iron Boots and sank to the bottom. He then took out a water bomb and threw it at the cave entrance, blowing up the blockage. To his surprise, the cave began to suck in water and sucked our hero in as well. He was being trashed around along the walls and getting seriously hurt.

AHH! UGH! AEIA!

LINK!

A geyser made from the cave's sudden entrance spat out the hero and...

SMACK!

Link was seriously hurt.

LINK! DON'T DIE!

Link's breathing was labored, but he took a bottle and uncorked it. Out came a fairy and healed Link to only a fraction of his health. But that didn't matter, Link was okay.

Link! Don't worry me like that again, please don't!

It's okay, I'm fine now. I just need to find the relic and find a way out.

Link looked around and noted the room was flooding. He saw a large circular door and walked up to it. He pushed it open and walked through. It then closed itself on him and he looked around. The cave was really a temple...

A very large one.

Oh, for the love of Nayru!


"So Harry, are you sure that you will not need help?" Luna asked as she showed Harry a gate into the caverns under the castle.

"No, I know many offensive and defensive spells. There is probably not even monsters down here."

"Very well! Take care."

"Thank you." Harry said as he saw the gate unlocked and open. He took one last look at the princess, before entering the cave. He took out his wand and lit the way.

So Harry, how does your magic work compared to ours?

Well, my magic requires stern control of a wand, and incantations to perform the spell.

Interesting!

My magic also come in both spells that can heal, hurt and everything in between.

Has anypony in your world... murdered someone with magic before.

Many times, with curses and very powerful spells.

What!

Indeed, but with the dark lord gone from my world, that is not going to happen anymore.

Dark lord?

I'll explain when we're done here. Harry thought as he came to a puzzle, a simple lock. Harry tried to move it with his hands, but he couldn't move it. He then assumed that magic was needed.

CRR!

Perfect, I just have to move this just right...

CRR! CLICK!

That's it!

Harry saw the lock fall forward to reveal a doorway, leading to another puzzle, a giant version of Wizard's Chess.

Chess, this may be more difficult than I thought.

Just so long as the opponent isn't skilled, I think we'll be fine.

I guess we have to take this slowly.


"So, you ready, Celestia?"

"Of course, Queen Chrysalis." Celestia said as she sat in her end of the table.

David noted how this 'Queen Chrysalis' looks very bug-like.

Are those holes in her legs?

Yes, I never really understood why Changelings have them.

Aerodynamics?

It's plausible.

Yeah... still creepy as hell though.

Indeed. Hey, we're agreeing on something!

Holy crap! That is not something I'm interested in.

Why you...

"Ahem, Celestia."

"Yes Chrysalis?"

"Who is that?" Queen Chrysalis said as she pointed at David, who took off his cloak to reveal himself.

"His name is David, He offered his services and is my bodyguard for this meeting."

"Really Celestia, getting a non-pony to do your dirty work."

Shhrrk!

Chrysalis turned to see David point a massive 5 foot blade at her. He began to talk.

"Behave, or you're getting more than a failed treaty."

David made the blade disappear and saw Celestia's disapproving face. He took the hint and went out of the room for a few minutes.

Way to go, threatening the queen of an enemy country.

She should not have been a smartass.

You should behave more!

You should... Hey, what is with those changelings?

Indeed, a group of changelings were gathering and then some other creatures. David even noted some ponies among the group.

That can't be good.

What do you think will happen?

I expect shit to hit the fan, we need to warn the princess.

David walked in and noted the two were in a very heated negotiation process. David walked to Celestia.

"We need to leave, now."

"Not now, I've almost got the queen to agree to my treaty."

"Well, forget it, we've got problems."

"What kind of..."

BLAM!

The nearest door to David blew open and in came multiple creatures dressed in orange and black. The apparent leader, a gryphon, spoke up.

"Tuer la Grève 782! Kill the Queen and Princess!"

"Dammit!"


After about 30 minutes of solving puzzles, killing the monsters that stood in his way and getting the master key, Link had finally stood in front of the entrance of the monster that guarded the Trifocal Power Link needed to get.

This is it then.

Be careful.

Link put the key in the keyhole and turned it. The lock fell and the door opened. Link ran in and the door closed behind him. He looked up to see...








Nothing. There was nothing in this room. Link was confused, but he looked at the markings on the dry ground.

That seems familiar. Link noted as he looked at the markings. He looked at the wall above the door and gasped.

It's the relic!

The relic was glowing yellow. But from the distance it was at, it clearly could not be discerned what shape it was. The ground then felt, shaky?

GRR!

What was that?

GRRR!

What the... Link turned around.

GRRR!

A six armed monster came down, in each of its arms was in metal gauntlets and it's face was twisted to the point that is barely recognizable as a face. Its chest was skeletonized and its weak point, the heart, was covered. It looked down at Link and screamed at the hero.

AHHHHHH!!!!!!

Link just entered a battle pose and unsheathed his sword with his left hand.

THE GUARDIAN OF THE WATERFALL: HEXORSE!

Hexorse brought its middle right arm down where Link was. Link dodged out of the way and saw that its ribcage had cracks in it.

Maybe... Link took out his Clawshots and fired both at the ribcage. It worked, the ribcage began to split and the heart was exposed. Link dashed forward and hopped on it. Sword in his left hand, he began to stab the heart. Hexorse began to scream in pain as it frantically tried to shake Link off. After a few hits, Link was off and ready to repeat the process. Hexorse lifted its top arms and swung down, creating a shockwave. Link managed to backflip to avoid it and clawshotted the ribcage again. After it opened up, Link dashed again and began to stab the heart. After this was done, Hexorse roared in anger and took off its gauntlets. Link got off and stepped back to see that the hands had an elemental power in each hand. Forest in the middle right, Fire in the upper right, Water in the upper left, Shadow in the lower left, Spirit in the middle left, and Light in the lower right.

Once again, it roared.

Link had took off his Zora Armor in favor of his regular clothes. Fire would hurt Link severely in Zora Armor. Hexorse used the forest power to summon Deku Babas to attack Link.

AHHH!

Link swung his sword and sliced off the stem of the Deku Baba, killing it. Link repeated the process with the others. He then clawshot Hexorse again, opening its ribcage. Link began to attack the monster and stabbed it with fury. Link began to give the final strike and stabbed the creature in the heart. Hexorse had had enough, it began to stubble and collapsed. The power in its hands began to consume it until it dissolved into nothing. Link spun his sword twice in front of him, then another three time behind his back, before sheathing the sword.

The treasure fell down and Link looked at it.

Link! You did it!

I know. So this is what we need to get.

Has to be. Pick it up.

Link did pick it up, and fell in pain, still clutching the Trifocal Power. Link took one good look at it to realized something.

It looks like... AHH! the Triforce.

Link began to scream as the power consumed him. In bright flash, Link was now panting. He had looked to see the Triforce of Courage glowing brightly on his hand. It faded away shortly after.

Well, that was interesting. Let's get out of here.

Let's.

And Link began to leave the room, but one thought crossed his mind when he looked in his bag.

How'd I get this ocarina?


I never knew that Wizard's chess could be so... graphic!

And now we have went through about 7 different puzzles, each more difficult than the last.

This better be the last one.

Yeah. Harry looked at the layout. A large boulder in a sphere shape was in a maze, and there were multiple holes. There was a pressure gauge near the apparent end.

I'm guessing I have to be careful and calculating.

This is difficult, I know. I've done this before.

And I only get one chance, better move slowly.

Harry took his wand.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" Harry lifted the board and began to tilt it. The boulder moved. Harry did so carefully, as so the it would not fall in the hole. After about 25 minutes of doing so, Harry was on the last stretch.

"Last run, slowly and carefully now." Harry told himself as he drew closer to the goal.

CRR!

He had done it. The ball was now on the gauge and the door next to Harry opened. He went in.

He looked on to see the relic he needed to find. When he looked closer, it looked like the Hogwarts symbol. This made Harry raise an eyebrow, but he nonetheless knew what to do. When he grabbed it, he felt immense pain. He screamed at the power forced into himself. He only held on on the hope that he would get home soon. When the flash of power blew out, Harry was now panting in pained way.

Damn, that was painful.

I would figure.

Harry got up, slowly, and began to walk out of the cavern. After a few minutes, he reached the castle grounds and was walking to the throne room. There he saw four familiar faces. Deadpool turned to see the wizard.

"Hey! Harry's back! Now we can..."

"Wait until David's here." Stryker said.

"Do we have to?" Nikolai said.

Link nodded vigorously. And the other humans said 'yes' in their own ways.

"Fine, but I need..." Nikolai then felt something rising. "Oh shit! Nausea!"

The other's looked, expecting vomiting. What really happened was that Nikolai belched out something with a little fire, a scroll. Luna then took it.

"This is from my sister." Luna unraveled it and soon widened her eyes. Harry became worried.

"We need to go to the changeling empire! Tuer la Grève 782 has attacked my sister!"

"Tuer la Grève 782?"

"We need to go!"

"Does that mean Nikolai has to get drugged again?"

"Yes, let's go, NOW!" The six soon went to a large chariot and after Nikolai got drugged again, they went off. They all knew that their new skills would have to be tried in combat.

(David has to wait for the cavalry to arrive. And it seems that Fluttershy developed a crush on Link. What will happen next? Tune in next time!)
