Mario was still walking in the mysterious cave. He mumbled himself in a song to keep him brave and strong. Mario kept walking until he found something red.

Mario: The Red Katana...

Mario said under his breath. He ran toward the glimmering light. It was the Katana.

Mario: Great I found it! But how am I gonna get out of here? And why isn't it hypnotizing me? Ah well I found it.

Mario grabbed the blade with his gloved hands. He pulled it out of the rock and everything started to rumble.

Mario: AAAHHHHH!!!!! Earthquake!!!

Back at Hyrule

Link and the team were walking to Gerudo Valley until an earthquake shook the Earth.

Link: W-Whats g-going o-on!?

Luigi: I-It's a-an e-earthquake!!

Then Link thought about the earthquake. Then it hit him.

Link: M-Mario h-has found t-the b-blade!

Back at the underground

Mario ducked for cover under a huge boulder. And holding the blade. Finnaly the earthquake stopped shaking. Mario peeked out of the boulder. Then a portal appeared out of nowhere.

Mario: Hmm I wonder where this leads to? I bet its a way out!

Mario closed his eyes and jumped into the portal. He opened his eyes in horror. Everything here was dead. Burned and turned into ashes.

Mario: I-Is this Hyrule!!!?

Voice: No it isn't... It's a replica of Hyrule.

Mario turned around and saw a hooded vigure talking to him.

Mario: Who are you?

Voice: My name doesn't matter. What matters is that you get out of here and your magical blade of yours.

Mario: But I don't understand!? What or who am I running from.

The vigure vanished into thin smoke.

Mario: Great... I'm stuck in this replica world of Hyrule... and I can't get out of here.

Mario sat down and think for a while. While Mario was thinking, something was going straight toward him. Mario turned around and some kind of wing beast went past by. Mario stood up and look at the beast.

Mario: What is that thing?

The beast went toward him again with great speed. Mario dodged it just in time. Mario gribbed his new blade and try swinging it. But the creature dodged it by ducking. Mario swing his sword again. The blade hit the creature on the head. The creature howl in pain.

Mario: Come here!! I'm not done yet!

The creature took out his sharp claw and tried to scratch Mario like a piece of ham. The creature missed his attack. And Mario tried hitting it but the creature swing his tail and hit Mario.

Mario: Ooof

The creature slowly walked to his prey. It opened its mouth trying to bite Mario and tear him to shred. But Mario stabbed the creatures mouth. The blade his the throat. The creature screamed in pain. The thing backed up and the creatures mouth started to drip blood on the floor. The the creature fell down to its side and died a slowly painful death.

Mario: Damn....

Back at Hyrule.

The gang still countinue on their quest.

Marth: So Link, how did you and Mario become, you know great friend?

Link: Its a long story Marth. Still want to hear it?

Marth: No thank you. I don't like long stories.

Finnaly they ventured into Gerudo Valley. Link showed the hole where Mario fell down. Everyone gathered around to see.

Ness: I don't see anything. Must be a dark and long cave.

Luigi: I'll go first.

Luigi jumped down into the hole.

Luigi: Okay its great down here!

Link's next. He jumped down and landed on his feet. Then everyone jumped down into the hole.

Link: Okay everyone! Mario is counting on us. Lets go!

Everyone ran into the darkness. To find their friend.
