Gotet rushed forward quickly, punching Golem as hard as he could several times, each attack doing absolutely nothing. Golem took a swing, and Gotet ducked, but was caught by an uppercut. Gotet regained his composure quickly, running forward and kneeing the beast, then hitting him in the face.
Kafei followed up with a blast of his Mystic Ice magic. Golem turned angrily, giving Gogetta a chance to stab him in the back of the leg. The blade stuck, and the creature bled. Samson followed quickly, stabbing Golem in the other leg. It yelled in pain, spinning around quickly. It kicked both of the children, knocking them to the ground. It raised it’s fist. A stream of lava flew at Kafei, knocking him to the ground. Yoshimitsu now came forward, slicing at the demonic beast. It smashed it’s wings into Yoshimitsu’s body, and he fell to the ground.
“Goku, and Falcon. You two leave the mountain and look for something that can help us kill this guy!” Jet said quickly. They nodded in agreement, and Goku picked up Captain Falcon and they both flew quickly out of the crater. Shinota ran forward now, slicing at Golem with his Twin Diamond sword, all of the blows doing no damage. Golem head butted Shinota hard and the Zedusrian stumbled backward, dazed. Jet ran behind the creature, stabbing it in the back of the shoulder with his Royal Family’s sword. It growled in pain, it’s black blood spilling to the ground. With a loud scream, it surrounded the entire fighting arena in a dome of flame. All were hurt and smoking on the ground.
Goku and Captain Falcon landed on the ground of Hyrule field quickly. The sky was still covered in a darkness, and the sun was far out of sight, and it’s warmth evaded the field as well. They looked around the field slowly, as if they expected an answer to their problems to just be lying around in the grass. After several moments however, they both got the same idea, and bolted toward the castle. There had to be some clue there.
“And you trust this creature to escape from the mountain and destroy Hyrule when they are all on his tail like that?” Apocalypse Modeus asked angrily.
“He is not a creature my lord. He is a demonic god. He is the lord of fire, the very essence of the mountain’s dark energy. He serves as a sage, just as Darunia, in a very negative opposite way. He needs no assistance, nor help. If he wills it he can collapse the entire crater and escape unscathed,” the Dark Knight responded.
“I care not. He is a Dark Sage. I am a Hell Lord. Look what they have done to me. I order you to assist him in the mountain crater. Make sure they hinder his exit no longer!” Apocalypse Modeus said angrily through the magical flame the Dark Knight summoned to communicate with.
“Yes….my lord,” the Dark Knight said slowly, bowing down and then standing quickly, using his magic to quickly reach the crater.
“Just…..because…..I bleed…..it does not mean….that I am….defeated,” Golem said angrily, looking at the charred wounded members of the Triforce Team before his feet. Trunks stood slowly and spoke through gritted teeth.
“Just because….we’re smoking and burned….doesn’t mean we’re defeated,” he said slowly, holding the hilt of his blade tightly and running at Golem. He took a swing, and Golem brought up his own blade, blocking the attack, and countering with a smash of his hilt to the saiya-jin’s face. He moaned in pain, then spun around, delivering another blow, this time to Golem’s face.
“Triforce of Wisdom!!!” Zelda yelled. The familiar golden light shot forth, hitting Golem in the back. He turned to face Zelda. He was not wounded, but he was being overwhelmed somewhat.
“You are all lucky. I have not been awake for close to a million years. But soon, I will return to my full power….and then….it will be you….who will bleed,” Golem said angrily. Suddenly the Dark Knight appeared in front of them.
“I was instructed to aid you, Golem,” the Dark Knight said in his demonic tone, drawing his long blade and surrounding it in flame.
“Very well,” Golem said, punching Zelda. The odds of victory were slowly rising against them.
“How are we supposed to find a clue to fighting a demon in a castle?” Captain Falcon asked in a rushed tone.
“I really have no clue…maybe we should ask someone?” Goku asked.
“Like who?” Captain Falcon asked. A maiden with black hair walked by the hallway the two were standing in, and a smile crossed Goku’s lips.
“H-hey! Can I ask you something ma’am?” Goku asked happily.
“Umm, yes, sure,” the woman answered, stopping.
“If you were to…..fight a demon…..metaphorically speaking of course….um….what would you do?” Goku asked. The woman gave him a strange look, then quickly walked away.
“Spoken like a cunning linguist my friend,” Captain Falcon said with a smirk.
“Let’s see you do better,” Goku said angrily.
“Heh…if you insist,” Captain Falcon responded, walking towards the throne room. He approached one of the two soldiers on guard at the door. “Hey…..I need some help,” Captain Falcon began.
“Yes?” the soldier asked.
“The king is combating a demon of fire named Golem. I need to know anything that may help him win,” Captain Falcon said.
“Golem!? I know just what to do….follow me,” the soldier said. Captain Falcon winked at Goku, and the two followed the Hylian soldier.
The Dark Knight swung at Lord Deimos, who parried with his all seeing sword, punching Golem in the face then quickly countering the Dark Knight’s attack with one of his own. It bounced off the Dark Knight’s armor, doing no damage. Gogetta stabbed Golem in the back of the leg again, more blood seeping through the black rock. Golem slammed the ground hard with his foot, and a blast of lava flew at Gogetta, hitting him square in the chest.
Samus angrily shot several rounds of Diffusion missiles at Golem, and he was frozen for several seconds. Jet took the opportunity to blast the creature with his Tetraforce at point blank range. The Dark Knight angrily sliced at Jet, the blade cutting across his back. He fell to his knees. The Dark Knight lifted his blade, ready to finish the weakened earthling. The executioner ran at the Dark Knight, tackling him to the ground and hitting him in the face. Ogre fell to his knees quickly, bashing the Dark Knight in the helmet with his shield, the noise reverberating through his deadened ears.
Golem broke free of the ice now, smashing Jet in the back of the neck with his hilt. For some reason it seemed as though he was biding his time, and not taking opportunities to kill the team. Dead or not, they were all beginning to become weary.
“Now, in order to understand the method of defeating this….thing…you first need to know the manner in which this thing came to be. So I will tell you the history of this….Golem,” the soldier said slowly.
“Okay,” Goku said. This soldier seemed to know a lot. They only hoped he could help them defeat Golem before it was too late for Hyrule.
