Zelda was soon tired of waiting for Beat and Richard to meet her. She paced around the large room and around the long rectangular table. After a while, she picked a chair at the end of the table and sat down in it.
"Aryu!" She called. A tall, Gerudo woman came out of the shadows wearing the normal Gerudo outfit. She carried her sword-staff with her.
"Yes, my Princess?" Aryu answered, kneeling before her.
"Wait outside for our guests and direct them here when they come," Zelda ordered.

"No need for that, Princess."

Standing in the doorway was Drake with a man next to him. They walked down the steps towards them and Drake faced Aryu.
"The King wishes to speak with you, Gerudo," Drake said and turned to Zelda. "I shall take care of the duty." Zelda felt unnerved with Drake next to her. She felt unnerved whenever his prescene was nearby. She was also unsure about who this other man was with Drake, however, she wanted him gone, quickly.
"Very well, see to it that they arrive here,"
"Yes, my princess. However, my...associate, Clovis, will stay with you. He will protect you, I'm sure," Drake replied and left the room with Aryu, who gave Zelda a look that seemed to question her decision. She sighed as she waited for Beat and Richard.

Leia let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in. She almost had their hideout exposed to a stranger. Next time, she knew she would have to keep herself calm. She walked into the Castle Town to hand in the reward for the behest. As she was walking, she saw someone take something from one the stalls without the keeper knowing. She decided to follow the person. They moved around the town and into the poorer part that citizens called 'the shanty'. There, many citizens were poor and lived in poverty. The streets also showed the change. The path became dirtier and dirtier as you went deeper. The houses were poorly made and looked as if they would fall apart at any moment. There was also a distinct, bad smell that lingered around the whole of the shanty. The person walked into the shanty and went down several twists and turns. They turned a corner and...collapsed. Leia saw this and quickly rushed over to them. There was a hole in his chest and blood was pouring out of him at an alarming rate. She knew that they were killed. She looked around and saw the bloodied weapon. It was a short sword. She picked it up, inspecting it. When suddenly she was grabbed by two of the Hyrule Police Department.
"What's going on?!" Leia shouted as she struggled to get free from their grasp. "You are arrested for murder of an innocent civilian. Come with us." One commanded.
"Never!" Leia roared and freed herself from their grasp. She darted back the way she came. One policeman smiled at the other.
"Just like Drake suspected, Lewis," He said.
"Indeed, Malcolm," Lewis replied and they chased after her.

Finn and Lukas arrived at the Castle Town, hoping to get the reward for their behest. As they walked, they saw Leia running away from two policemen in hot pursuit.
"Move it, Farm boy!" She shouted to avail as she bumped into them and they collapsed. The policemen, laughing, walked towards them.
"Nice try, Gerudo," Malcolm laughed, reaching to grab Leia. An arrow hit him in the shoulder. As soon as the arrow came, so did the man who fired it. He quickly took down Malcolm and Lewis. "I tell you get a behest and this is what happens?!" Arthur questioned.
"No it wasn't..." Leia started but then shot a death glare at Finn. "It was his fault that I was nearly captured." Arthur looked at his son and smiled. Then, he said, sternly,"Don't put the blame on him! You know it wasn't his fault." Guards started to approach them. "Come, we must leave, Leia use your deku nut," Arthur commanded. Leia threw her deku nut, releasing a big, bright, white light. When it died down, they were nowhere to be found.

Beat and Richard arrived at the Castle Gates. The guards let them through and they were greeted by Drake.
"Mr. Grimsley and Sir Mellow! I am Senior advisor Drake" Drake greeted. "Come right this way, the princess is waiting for you." They followed Drake into the Castle and through its hallways. After a while, they came to a stop outside a door.
"She is waiting for you in here, have a nice...chat," Drake said and laughed as he walked away. Beat felt unsure about walking into the room. He felt like it was trap. Richard felt Beat's uneasiness but he felt it himself ever since he met Drake. Regardless, they walked in. It was pitch black inside but Beat felt the prescence of numerous people inside. "Richard!" Beat shouted in alarm as someone attempted to grab him.
"I know! Light a small flame so we can see more clearly!" Richard commanded. Beat did just that. He conjured a small flame in his hand which gave them vision on the enemy...which were royal guards.
"I knew it was a trap! Damn that Drake!" Beat roared. However, instead of fighting, Beat burst through the guards with Richard just behind. They quickly left the room and asked a servant where Zelda was. The servant directed them to the room she was really in. They burst through the doors and found no sign of Zelda.
"Richard, we're going to find Drake," Beat growled.
"Beat, calm down. We can't march up to Drake and accuse him of anything. He most likely has all the guards on his side and he is Senior Advisor," Richard reasoned.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Beat said. Shouts of anger and marching could be heard. "We'd better go."

Drake was pushed to the wall by Aryu who was angry. "What have you done with the princess?!" She roared.
"My, my, I believe the rumours are true. Gerudo women are feisty," Drake replied, smirking.
"I know you have her! Where is she?" Aryu growled.
"I don't have a clue," Drake said, still smirking.
"I will find her, and I will expose your evil intentions, mark my words," Aryu threatened, and let go of Drake turning to leave. As she left, she saw Richard Mellow, the most venerated guard in the whole kingdom and Beat Grimsley who she knew through his visits to the Princess. They looked like they were in a hurry, running at top speed from the royal guards that were in hot pursuit.
"What is going on here?!" Aryu shouted, hoping to have her voice heard over the shouts of the men.
They stopped in their tracks-including Beat and Richard. One of the guards stepped forward to speak but Drake interrupted him.
"It appears that these young men attempted to abduct the Princess,"
"I don't think so," Aryu replied. Drake paused for a moment to think. He knew he had all of the guards on his side, through false promises and bribery. He basically owned the castle. He was untouchable.
"Guards, throw them out of the Castle Town gates...immediately," Drake ordered.
"Soldiers, stop!" Aryu counter ordered. Drake laughed. "You clearly do not understand the situation you are in. Guards, would you please?"
The soldiers followed the Senior advisor's orders. Roughly, they grabbed Beat, Richard and Aryu. They marched them through the Castle Town and threw them out.
"What do we do now?" Aryu asked.
"We need to find out where the Princess has been taken," Richard answered.
"But how? We have no leads," Beat replied.
"I think I may know who took her," Aryu suggested. "It may have been that man Drake was with. Clovis I believe."
Beat's eyes widened with realisation.
"Skull King...Drake...They must be working together!" Beat exclaimed.
"I've heard about this Skull King and his mighty army. He seems to be a force a to be reckoned with, however, so is Drake," Aryu told them.
"Together they would be too much for us to handle alone. We need help," Richard replied.
"And I know just where to get it," Beat said, marching towards the spot from before.
"Beat?" Aryu questioned.
"There's something here...I know there is," He replied and focused on the area. It flickered from a cottage entrance to the walls of Hyrule Castle Town. He walked forward and grabbed the door knob. He twisted it and opened the door. No one was inside.
"Amazing..." Aryu said, admiring Beat's work. Beat put a finger to his lips. He entered and beckoned them to follow. They all crept around. The room seemed to be a small library. There were three bookshelves with neatly packed books on them. Inside an open cabinet, there were scrolls piled inside.
In each corner, there were tables and chairs, seemingly for studying or reading.
"What is this place?" Richard muttered.
Faint whispers and footsteps could be heard. Gradually, they got louder. The group of three froze as the door to their right opened, revealing Leia, Finn, Arthur and Lukas.
Leia stood wide-eyed at Beat. She whispered an "Oh no" then looked at Arthur. Arthur scowled at the three.
"Who are you and how did you get in here?"

"Well done, Clovis" Skull King smiled as looked at the princess in his throne room.
"You will have a splendid time here, princess."
"I disagree," Zelda replied. Skull King bellowed with laughter.
"Onto more important matters," Skull King said, suddenly getting serious. "Give me your triforce."
"I would never give it to the likes of you," Zelda spat.
"You will...in time," Skull King replied."Clovis, take her away from here."
"As you wish," Clovis said as he bowed. He then ushered Zelda out of the throne room.

Drake knelt down before the King in his throne room. He noted that he knelt in the same way as Ganomdorf once did and in the same area. He knew this because he could see the courtyard window to his right.
"Drake, my most trusted advisor. What news do you bring to me today?" The King asked.
"Your Highness, you may want to know that..." Drake trailed off.
"That what?" The King demanded.
"That your Princess has been abducted,"
The King rose from his throne.
"Who did this?!" He demanded.
"None other than Richard Mellow and Beat Grimsley," Drake replied. "We found them leaving the scene of the crime. We believe that the Gerudo assisted in this crime. She was quick to retort and defend the two's actions. However, they escaped. For this high act of treason, I reccommend you make a speech to all citizens that their beloved Princess has been taken and that a high reward will be bestowed upon those who manage to turn the perpatrators in."
"Very well," The King replied. "Is that all?"
"No my King. The vigilante and his help committed the act of murder. I suggest you include them in your speech and give a high reward for the two as well. That is all," Drake said.
"Then let it be so. Now leave me be," The King ordered.
Drake rose and bowed before exit. Upon exiting, Drake cackled villianously at the King's stupidity. All was going well. He decided to report to Lord Drazo and update him on all that happened. Afterwards, he would go to Skull King.

"My name is Aryu and I was the Princess' attendant. I met with young Beat Grimsley here and Sir Mellow, they took me here, after the abduction of the Princess," Aryu introduced whilst bowing.
"We came seeking your help...and I'm just Richard Mellow. Not 'Sir Mellow' I'm not a knight," Richard said.
"You want our help?" Leia replied, surprised.
"Yes, because Skull King and the King's Senior Advisor are working together," Beat added.
"Drake," Arthur said with venom. "You still haven't answered my other question."
"Oh right. I saw this place with my Shiekah training," Beat laughed and looked at Leia. "Despite her efforts."
Leia's face went red. Arthur raised an eyebrow at her.
"Look, I-I tried okay?!" She stammered. "Don't look at me like that!"
"Back to Drake," Finn reminded. "What do we do now?"
"Me, Finn and Lukas will confront Drake," Arthur decided. "Leia will go with you three to try and track down the Princess. Are we agreed?"
Everyone agreed apart from Leia who complained about not being with Arthur.
"Leia, you need to show them what we're made of and," Arthur whispered to her then looked at Aryu who kept glancing at Leia. "One of them may know who you are."
Leia nodded and joined the group of three.
The two groups headed out and split up.
Leia asked her group: "How will we find out where the Princess is?"
"Well, we know who took her. All we need to do is draw him out," Beat replied, cracking his knuckles.

Drake entered Skull King's throne room to find him sitting in his chair as usual.
"Don't you ever want to get up and move around?" Drake laughed.
"Don't tease me advisor," Skull King replied."What news do you bring?"
Drake took something out of his pocket. It was a clear crystal with different colours flowing around inside it. He held it up to Skull King.
"Do you know what this is?" He asked.
"A crystal," Skull King answered.
"Not just any crystal," Drake replied. "It is a dimensional shard, given to me by Lord Drazo when I freed him from his prison."
"What does that have to do with anything?" Skull King questioned.
"It can tear open a rift into what I call 'The Void'. Inside the void are many different worlds that we can conquer and rule," Drake informed.
"There is something else to this," Skull King stated.
"Right you are. There is a petty guardian who guards The Void. He should be easy enough to defeat," Drake replied. "Just to demonstrate its power."
Drake threw the shard to the ground. The crystal disappeared as a rift opened up and began sucking in everything with great force. Skull King's sins were sucked in. Skull King was sucked in too. Drake was unaffected.
"Only the person who throws the shard is unaffected!" Drake shouted over the noise. He walked in after the sins and Skull King then the rift closed inwards. As soon as it closed, the crystal reappeared and Drake caught it.
"Welcome to the void," Drake said, spreading out his arms. There were balls of light that showed different landscapes and areas. They lit up the darkness of the void. Where they stood were small disperse stars.
"Where is this guardian that you talked about?" Jacob spat.
A tall being, twice the size of one man appeared in a burst of light. He had large, angelic wings and a long glowing sword in his right hand. He glared at the group before him.
"I sense great evil in you," He stated and went into a fighting stance.
"You would not be wrong," Drake laughed as his hands sparked with magic. Everyone went into a fighting stance and charged at the guardian.
The guardian batted away all magical attacks with his glowing sword and blew away the melee attackers with his wings. He began to charge a magical beam from the tip of his sword. Drake started charging one from the palm of his hands. The Sins ran in and dodged the guardian's wings that came at them. Anise cut her way through one and started attacking his legs. The others started attacking with their magic and swords. The guardian was forced to stop charging with his sword and fought them back with it.
Drake laughed as he released his magical energy, hitting the guardian on his shoulder.
Skull King conjured up some stalfos and sent them to attack. The guardian was soon overwhelmed.
"This is not over yet," The guardian said and retreated.
Drake used his crystal once again and the group were back in the throne room.
"Very interesting, no?" Drake laughed.
"It was interesting indeed," Skull King agreed.
