Reality Shift

Part 6

Hey hey! Well here we are once again. As per-usual, I don't own much of

anything in this fic. The only things I can manipulate in any way I wish are Mike, Wolf,

and Jason. Everything else is just visiting and I'm forcing them to participate. So as you

can see, I own nothing. I am poor, sad, and oh so pathetic. Now with that out of the way,

let's get on with the story.

The past week had been very peaceful. There have been no more attacks, and

Sonic has been behaving himself. Jason still isn't that happy about staying on Mobius,

but he is dealing. That and the guitar is helping. At this moment, Mike Wolf, and Jason

are in the Masters Domain playing Super Smash Brothers: Melee. Mike is playing as

Samus, Wolf is playing as Link, and Jason is playing as Ness. Jason is kicking everyone's

ass. "How can he be winning so much?" asks Wolf. "He's beaten us twelve games

straight." Mike nods. "It's just not right."

As they continue to fight, Zelda suddenly appears on the screen and attacks them

all. All three of them lose. They stare wide-eyed at the screen. "What the hell just

happened?" asks Wolf. "I happened," says a voice behind them. They spin around to see

who said that. Standing in the doorway is Princess Zelda. "How the hell did you do that?"

asks Mike. She holds up a wireless controller. "I have my ways." All three of the visitors

slump in their chairs. "That's not fair," says Jason. Mike looks at him. "You're just

saying that because you were winning." "So?" asks Jason.

Zelda rolls her eyes. "Would you three shut up, I came here for a reason." "She's

pushy for a princess," says Mike. "HEY!" says Zelda. "Anthony wants to see you three

right now. He says it's very important." The three friends look at each other for a moment

before turning back to Zelda. "Lead us oh royal one," says Mike. Zelda rolls her eyes and

walks out of the room. The outsiders follow. They walk through the palace for about ten

minutes before they come to a large double door. They open it to find a large table. It

appears to be some kind of conference room. At the table are heroes of Arcadia. They can

see Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, Megaman, Protoman, Bass, Roll, Link, Princess

Zelda, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Sally. At the head of the table was King Acorn, Queen

Alicia, and Anthony.

"We think we have found out who was in control of those Stalfos that attacked

Lon Lon Ranch," says Anthony. Link stands up. "We have been having Mages searching

for a new source of magic in Hyrule, We believe we have found the source in some caves

on Death Mountain. We are readying a search team and were wondering if the three of

you wanted to help."

They look at each other for a moment. "HUDDLE!" screams Mike. The three of

them huddle together near the door. Every few seconds, Wolf lifts up his head and

quickly looks around the room, then ducks back into the huddle. After about a minute,

they clap and scream, "BREAK!" They walk towards the table. "We're in," says Wolf.

"Good," says Princess Zelda. "We leave for Hyrule at once."

They immediately exit the castle and head to the nearest portal. From there, they

use the mini portals to get to the Hylas portal. They emerge in the Goron Caverns.

Everyone that was at the meeting except King Acorn, Queen Alicia, Sally, and Roll were

there.

They had decided to split into groups. "Alright," says Anthony. "We should split

up. We can cover more ground that way." Wolf raises his hand. "I'M WITH LINK!"

Anthony leans over to Mike. "There is something wrong with that boy," he whispers.

Mike just nods. "You have no idea."

And so the teams were made. Of course Jason stayed far away from Sonic. Wolf

went with Link and Zelda. Mike went with Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. Jason went with

Megaman, Protoman, and Bass. That leaves Anthony with the Mario Brothers and

Princess Toadstool.

They each search a different part of the cavern. One group heads north, another

south, one east, and one west.

First off, we shall follow Wolf. They head far east in the caves. They have been

searching for about fifteen minutes. Zelda has long since slapped Wolf for continually

talking and the sexual innuendo. As we join them, Wolf is still rubbing his jaw from the

last hit. "All I said was, `I'll watch your back'" "Well it sounded dirty," she says. "That's

just cause it was from me!" says Wolf. "Ok yes," says Zelda, "but that doesn't matter."

Wolf lets out a sigh of exasperation. The tunnel had many twists and turns. After another

few minutes, they were lost. Wolf turns to Link. "I thought you said you knew these

tunnels like the back of your hand?" says Wolf. Zelda gives Wolf a look. "Have you seen his hands? He hasn't taken those gloves off in years." "Hey!" says Link. "They look

good. And besides, I haven't been in these parts for years. I think it's understandable that I may not remember everything." Wolf is visibly disappointed by this. "Great. So we are doomed." "We aren't doomed," says Link. As soon as he says that, they hear a growl.

They turn around too see about fifteen Wolfos staring at them. "Eep," says Wolf. Link

draws out his sword and Zelda activates her Descendancy Powers. Wolf even activates

his armor. The Wolfos charge them. "This should be fun," says Wolf sheepishly.

The tunnel that Mike, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles were traveling was small. Only

five feet in height and maybe four feet wide. Needles to say that the Mobians were

having no trouble walking in there, but Mike on the other hand… He's 5'9" and has a 44"

waist; he's having a bit of trouble keeping up. "This is killing my back guys," says Mike.

Sonic gives him a look. "You're 17 and you're complaining about your back? That's not

right." Mike gives Sonic a look back. "I'm taller than the cave is. I have to bend over.

Doing this puts my weight forward, stressing my back. I weigh 310 pounds. That's a lot

of weight to put on your back at once." Everyone stares at him with wide eyes. "You

weigh 310?" says Tails with disbelief. "Yeah. Some how it must be mostly muscle, cause

I don't look that big." They just slowly nod. From behind them they hear a hissing sound.

They all turn around to see about two-dozen Lizalfos. "Trouble just loves us doesn't it?"

says Sonic. "It would explain the Christmas card I got from it," replies Mike. Everyone

stops and looks at him. "What? Heroes tend to make comical quips during fights." Tails gives Mike a look. "Yeah, but they tend to be good." "HEY!" says Mike. At that

moment, the Lizalfos attack.

Jason, Megaman, Protoman, and Bass are walking down a dark tunnel. They were

heading west. Megaman and Protoman had taken point, while Bass and Jason were

bringing up the rear. They have been walking for some time now. Bass and Jason really

seemed to be hitting it off. They had been talking about hardcore metal music the whole

time. "You play?" asks Jason. "A little. Being a hero can cut into practice time, but I try."

"We need to jam sometime," says Jason. Bass nods. Megaman looks over his shoulder at

them. He turns to Protoman. "They seem to have a lot in common," he says, "Yeah," says

Protoman. "A need for destruction and a love of music." "Yeah," says Megaman. Jason

has now pulled out the guitar that Dr, Light gave him and started to play some

Mushroomhead (they are a metal band). He and Bass start head banging when they hear a

strange scraping noise. They turn to see nearly two-dozen Stalfos charging at them. "Well

that isn't good," says Megaman. Jason puts the guitar away and activates his armor and

starts to swing his morning star. "And let the fun begin," says Bass.

Anthony, Mario, Luigi, and Princess Toadstool are still headed north. Anthony

just starts smiling for no reason. "What is ona your mind Anthony?" asks Mario. "My

empathic abilities are picking up on our friends. Both Mike and Wolf seem to be a

little…out of sorts with their traveling companions. Jason seems to be having fun

though." As he finishes saying this, a grim expression comes over his face. Mario gives

him a worried look. "What a is it now?" Anthony turns to the others. "Prepare for battle.

All the others have just been attacked, and I'm betting we are next." As he says that, a

legion of ReDead start to lumber down the tunnel at them. "This just seems to happen

only to us doesn't it?" says Anthony. "ARMOR ACTIVATE!" His armor covers his body

and he activates his light saber. Princess Toadstool activates her Descendancy Powers

and they all take a fighting stance. "And so the fun begins," says Anthony.

All four groups fight hard for almost twenty minutes. They have been forced even

deeper into the tunnels. They haven't been able to do much against the overwhelming

odds. All they have managed to do is kill of two or three from each group, but they are

still starting to tire out. Mike is firing shot after shot from his plasma cannon. He is able

to make a few cuts with his sword. He even manages to cut off one of the Lizalfos' arms.

Sonic is slicing everything that gets in his way and Tails is letting loss with the fire, but

they are still getting forced back. Knuckles is having trouble if his own. He is being

forced back by a small crowd of six Lizalfos. They are forced back foot-by-foot. Finally,

they hit a ledge, and fell down. When they hit the ground, they could hear three other

groups hitting the ground at about the same time. When looking around the cavern, they

could see the others, all of them visibly tired out by their fights. The heroes regroup in the

center of the cavern. They start to take out all of the monsters, and after a few more

minutes, they are alone in the cavern.

"Well that was tons of fun," says Wolf. As he says this, maniacal laughter can be

heard all around. It seems to resonate directly from the walls. The heroes look around for

the source, but see nothing but dead monsters. From nothingness comes a voice. It is high pitched, and yet some how threatening. "YOU THINK MY FOURCES CAN BE

DEFEATED THAT EASILY? FOOLS!" The monsters start to stand back up. Above the

room, a figure appears. It is about four feet tall. It wears a gray robe that goes all the way

to the feet of said figure. It is hovering in mid air. The figure spreads its arms wide. "MY

CREATURES! STAND UP AND FIGHT THESE WHO DARE TO DEFY

PLAGGMYR THE SMALL!"

A/N: Here we are. This story is drawing to a close. One more chapter I think. That

will mark the end of what I have dubbed, The Arcadian Chronicles. After this section of

the story is done, we will have more adventures. I won't tell you where I plan on taking

this next, but it will have next to nothing to do with Arcadia. It will be an anime. A rather

well known one at that, but no names will be mentioned at this time. You will just have to

wait and see. And lastly, I would like to thank Renian Magnanimus for proof reading this

for me.
