Shinobu was curious about her Master, Travisâ, day so far. She had walked to his apartment after another Friday at school.Â
She knocked on his door, âMaster Travis! You awake?â
After a few minutes of waiting, with no response, she opened the door, âIâm coming in!â
She looked around for him, seeing no sign of him.
âGimme a second, Iâm on the shitter,â he blurted out.
She stopped in her tracks, âSorry, Master.â
He came out from the bathroom, scratching the back of his head, âWhat do you want?â
Shinobu sat on his loveseat, âI wanted to see my Master after a busy week of school, of course.â
âThatâs a surprise.â
âWhy?â
âOf all people, you were thinking of me.â
âWell, youâre my master is why.â
   He sat down next to her.
âThereâs something Iâve been wanting from you.â
âWhatâs that.â
âYou, Master.â
Her chocolate-colored skin was tinted with a deep crimson, like a pomegranate.
âYou serious?â
She slowly nodded.
âHell yeah!â
She was surprised at first but quickly reorganized herself. Travis put an arm around her and the other on either of her thighs, kissing her. She smiled and kissed him back.
âWhy donât we take this to the other room,â he smirked.
Shinobu looked up in confusion, âHuh? Why? Canât we cuddle here?â
Then Travis realized... She confessed her romantic need for him, not her sexual need for him. Heâd been rejected again! Well, somewhat...
   Early in the afternoon, Zelda received a report of an invasion in her beloved kingdom of Hyrule. Ganondorf may be defeated, but his influence still remains. The leftovers of his army have decided to invade and take over Hyrule in his honor. They must be pretty dedicated to challenge Hyruleâs own, Zelda, Link, Sheik, and Impa.
   Zelda prepares her rapier and bow of light.
âPrincess, are you sure you can handle this...?â
âYes. This is only the remnants of Ganondorfâs army, followers, and believers.â
âAlright, milady. I believe in you,â Impa bows.
   Link was already on his way to the Castle from The Temple of Time. Link wielded the sword of legends once more, The Master Sword. Sheik wields the Goddess Harp, musical spells on his side. Aside from the harp and its melodic magic, he was assisted by ninja tools; shuriken, kunai, smoke bombs; and his own hands and feet.
   The two arrived at Hyrule Field, viewing the enemy at hand. A large group of very small enemies. This was Ganondorfâs army of choice?
âHow pathetic,â Sheik boasted.
Link glanced at him and then back to the army. Link lets out a powerful war cry, holding The Master Sword skyward.
Link and Sheik split up, Link taking the left portion of enemies, and Sheik the right.
   Zelda exits the Castle, facing the front of the army. She strikes with a light arrow, clearing a thick, wide bunch of enemies. They close in around her, but she isnât phased. She sings out Zeldaâs Lullaby, a signal to Link and Sheik.
Sheik responds by playing it back on his harp, signifying his safety. Link plays it back on The Ocarina of Time when he has the chance.
   Zelda fights the enemies after clarifying the safety of her allies, using her rapier now. The Triforce of Wisdom lends her power, allowing her to defeat enemies with ease. The same is with Link and The Triforce of Courage and The Master Sword. The two work hand-in-hand.
While Sheik has no legendary weapon or power, he was a Sheikah. Sheikahs, especially ones aiding the Royal Family, were naturally strong.
   Half of the army was stopped now, Link and Sheik meeting back up.
Link plays the Song of Healing, restoring both of their vitality.
Sheik looks at Link and gives a wink. Link gives a look of confusion as Sheik darts off, continuing the battle.
   Link and Zelda meet up next, combining the powers of their Triforce pieces. Zelda launches an empowered, Godlike arrow to the sky. It rains down, finishing the final bunch of evil souls, but not harming Sheik.Â
   Zelda gives a sigh of relief, âthat was close. Good job, Link, Sheik.â
Link was still confused about Sheikâs wink at him...
   It was a dark, murky day when Lady and Dante headed out for a new demon hunt. This time, after a well-known and powerful demon by the name of Scylla. She was a humanoid figure with elements of aquatic speciesâ in her. Gills and fins, scales and sharp teeth. It's said she drowns her victims using waves, tides, and cyclones and eats them afterward.
   Dante packed his two melee weapons, the pair, Agni and Rudra, and a newly earned one, Vulcan; Scylla, being a water-related demon, Dante packed his fire weapons. Like he tends to, his firearms of choice are Ebony and Ivory, his signature guns. Lady has her only weapon, a combination of several others, Kalina Ann.Â
   The two travel to Scyllaâs temple. The area surrounding it, silent, almost like it had been abandoned.
âIs this it?â Lady breaks the awkward silence.
âThis is where he said it was,â Dante answered.
âWhat if itâs a trap?âÂ
âWell, then they better not expect much. Canât surprise me.â
   As the two spoke to each other, a voice rumbled through the entrance of her temple, âWho dare disturb Scylla, the Terror of the Sea?!â
âNot like it matters; youâll be dead soon anyhow,â Dante boldly presents himself.
Scylla lowers herself from the ceiling, âYou wouldnât hurt a poor little girl, would you?â she whines.
âNo fooling me, weâve been told youâre a monster.â
âWho, me? You seem pretty bad yourself, hybrid!â
   Dante aims Ivory at her head and shoots. The bullet goes straight through, and she collapses.
âEasy enough,â he puts Ivory away.Â
The silence returns. Dante and Lady both knew what was up.Â
A trick.Â
   Dante turns around and starts leaving.
âDante, no! Itâs a...â
A mountain of rocks fall and block the entrance, thanks to the rumbling ground.
âYeah, I know, a trap.â
   He froze right in front of the wall of rocks, just barely out of the way of being crushed. He pulled Vulcan off his back, propping it up on his shoulder. Lady did the same with Kalina Ann but instead, holding the handles tight.
   Scylla rises from the pool in the center of the temple, âYou fools. You think you can barge in here, only to do whatever you like? Without my permission?! You... will pay, idiots!â
She loomed over the two, her head poking through the hole in the ceiling right above her pool. Sheâs as tall as the room and more. The bottom of the pool along with a foot above the roof. Maybe 15 feet tall?
   âHah! Still a piece of cake,â Dante smirks.
Lady, on the other hand, seems fearful.
âWhat, you worried, baby?â
âHmph! You wish,â she pouts.
âWhatever you say, Lady.â
She lightens up at Danteâs joke, âLetâs get âem,â she holds Kalina Ann up.
âYou know it.â
   Dante hacks and slashes at Scyllaâs tentacles, which are moving around wildly, trying to grasp or smash the two. Lady swings the knife mounted on Kalina Ann at tentacles that near her and shoot missiles at Scyllaâs face.
Dante glances at Lady, âkeep her busy, Iâm gonna find her weakness.â
He tosses a thing of Holy Water at Scylla, stunning her, and backs off.
   He takes a good look at Scylla, her body, and her temple.Â
âMhmm...,â he hummed to himself when he noticed an array of water crystals across the walls of the temple. Her water is coming from them.
He jumps up to one, breaking it with Ebony. The water in the fountains mounted on the walls weaken, and Scylla is lowered into the pool. This takes Lady by surprise.
Dante rushes over to the other crystals, breaking them one by one. He stingers toward Scylla and jumps.
âFinishing!â
âMove!â Lady says along with Dante, them combining their strongest attack.
âJackpot!â they say in harmony.
Scylla gives a deafening shriek, her head blown off for real this time.
   The body fades to black and Dante picks up the weapon. Scylla the Cutlass. Lady glances at Dante and raises her hand. He gives her a high-five.
âThat was so easy I couldâve done it myself.â
âHey!â
He chuckles, âkidding. Weâre better as a team anyway...â
