A small, diminutive, monstrous humanoid with a huge head and ears and a hunched back entered a dark castle. The creature, known on this world as a Bokoblin, made his way to the castle\u2019s throne room. He was allowed into the throne room and went down the blood-red carpet. The torches offered dim light, but he could see his master in all his dark splendor sitting on the throne and resting his head on his hand. \u201cMy Lord Ganondorf,\u201d spoke the Bokoblin in a gravelly voice, \u201cour spies have reported that our agent is now in the care of the Hylians. As we speak, she is being escorted into the castle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026You think I am unaware of that?\u201d asked the figure on the throne in a bass voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy Lord?\u201d asked the Bokoblin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf I needed you to report of the plan\u2019s success, we would all grow old at the rate news reaches us. Leave me.\u201d The Bokoblin felt offended, but he knew better than to make his master angry. He bowed and departed the throne room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a much brighter castle, the princess dwelling there was talking to the delegates of all the races of Hyrule. The princess was called Zelda and she was a Hylian, a race that looked human aside from the pointy ears, but elves they were not. The delegates were a red-scaled humanoid with fins on his forearms and a fish tail sprouting from his head (Sidon, Prince of the Zora), a tanned woman with deep-red hair and a revealing outfit, (Chief Riju of the Amazonian Gerudo), an orange-skinned giant with a massive beard and an eyepatch (Patriarch Bludo of the Goron), and an old owl man with five feathers on his wings acting as fingers (Chief Kaneli of the Rito). They were all in a conference with Zelda, discussing recent events. \u201cUnfortunately,\u201d said Sidon, \u201cthe East Reservoir Lake is near to flooding again. We can\u2019t exactly blame Vah Ruta again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Gorons can help with fortifying the lake\u2019s walls,\u201d assured Bludo. \u201cPerhaps we can create a spillway that doesn\u2019t enter into Zora\u2019s Domain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have Purah checking that idea out,\u201d said Sidon. \u201cShe\u2019s also trying to get us power that doesn\u2019t generate electricity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOdd, considering her job,\u201d remarked Zelda. \u201cBut she\u2019s a genius, so I\u2019m sure she\u2026\u201d She trailed off when she heard a noise. The delegates stopped talking and listened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026So I\u2019m not the only one hearing that, right?\u201d asked Kaneli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI hear it too,\u201d replied Riju.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think I see it!\u201d called Sidon. A blue box faded into existence with a lamp flashing on top until the noise finished with a thud!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Is that a new invention of Purah\u2019s?\u201d asked Riju.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoesn\u2019t look like Sheikah tech,\u201d remarked Bludo. The box\u2019s door opened and out stepped four people! Three women, one man, and one of the women looked recognizable to Zelda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Miss Rose?!\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Princess Zelda?!\u201d asked Amy. Zelda grinned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAmy Rose! Welcome!\u201d She picked up the hedgehog girl and hugged her. \u201cIt\u2019s so great to see you! I\u2026You\u2019re wearing\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, the new dress!\u201d realized Amy. \u201cNo, none of my friends on Mobius are dead. I\u2019m just trying something new.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAh, that \u2018Goth\u2019 fashion I heard about. Who are your new friends?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPrincess Zelda, meet Dr. William Davies\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHello, your Highness,\u201d greeted William as he bowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd the Doctor and Rassilon of Gallifrey,\u201d finished Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGallifrey?\u201d asked Zelda, worried. \u201cThen you\u2019re both Time Lords and that box is your TARDIS?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m a little amazed to hear you say that,\u201d remarked the Doctor. \u201cDid the Time Lords visit your world?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne has,\u201d admitted Zelda. \u201cShe\u2019s in her room right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2026have a Time Lord in your custody?\u201d asked Rassilon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe said she was escaping Ganondorf,\u201d explained Zelda. \u201cLink\u2019s guarding her room right now. There\u2019s\u2026something about her. I can\u2019t explain what, but I feel a sort of\u2026malice behind her kind face.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the Time Lord\u2019s name?\u201d asked William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe said she\u2019s called Miss Tarae.\u201d The instant that name escaped Zelda\u2019s mouth, the Doctor, William, and Amy goggled at each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s that woman doing here?!\u201d demanded Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere is she?!\u201d asked William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve got a better question,\u201d interjected Rassilon. \u201cWHO is she?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Master in a new female incarnation!\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026That devil is here?!\u201d asked Rassilon. Fury filled her eyes as she recalled the CyberMasters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside a room, a blonde Hylian man in a green tunic and hat was playing on a blue ocarina. The song was called Zelda\u2019s lullaby. The woman inside, however, wasn\u2019t soothed. \u201cMust you make that incessant noise?!\u201d she hissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with a little ocarina music?\u201d asked the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLink!\u201d called Zelda\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cZelda!\u201d replied Link as the princess and her new guests arrived. The two Hylians hugged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI know how boring this kind of guard duty is,\u201d said Zelda, \u201cbut it\u2019s paying off, I promise. Oh, I almost forgot! We have guests. Presenting the Doctor and Rassilon of Gallifrey, Dr. William Davies\u2026and I believe the hedgehog needs no introduction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAmy?\u201d asked Link. \u201cHow did you-?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHer doing,\u201d said Amy as she pointed at the Doctor. \u201cWe need to speak to Miss Tarae. She\u2019s\u2026I gotta put this bluntly. She attacked my world and is an old enemy of the Doctor and Rassilon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSorry, did I just hear Miss Rose and did she say \u2018Rassilon\u2019?\u201d asked Miss Tarae from inside the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLink, let us pass,\u201d directed Zelda. Link nodded and opened the door. The room was a tasteful guest room with a bed, a vanity, and a wardrobe. But the Doctor and her team were more interested in Miss Tarae, now wearing a dress worthy of a Hylian noblewoman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow that\u2019s what I call luxury!\u201d chuckled the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor!\u201d hissed Miss Tarae!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn the flesh and making new friends,\u201d said the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat are you doing here?! And why did you and William bring Miss Rose?! And is that flamenco girl really Rassilon?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn reverse order,\u201d answered the Doctor, \u201cYes, that\u2019s really the same Rassilon that drove you insane to enact her plan of breaking the Time Lock surrounding the Last Great Time War, I brought Amy with me and William because her future self arrived and told her it was an opportunity worth taking-.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd I was right,\u201d said Amy. \u201cShe even convinced me to try my current goth look.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd, well, let\u2019s just say we\u2019re all on a quest,\u201d finished the Doctor. \u201cBut enough about us, let\u2019s talk about you! Dropping the Lolita look? Blending in, are we? Doesn\u2019t seem like your usual nature. Don\u2019t you have some sort of speech about how it\u2019s your fate to be the one ruler of time and space?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFate and nature had little to do with my arrival here!\u201d hissed Miss Tarae. \u201cIn fact, it had little to do with my entire journey since we first clashed on Earth! I point the finger of blame at YOU, Doctor!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMe?! What have I done?! I wasn\u2019t the one that made a deal with the Autons during my exile! I wasn\u2019t responsible for you decaying at the end of your first regeneration cycle, and, well, the actual woman to blame for your madness IS wearing a flamenco dress, as you said.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank you SO much for reminding me of my sins,\u201d remarked Rassilon, not even bothering to hid her contempt for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe point is that YOU, Miss Tarae, didn\u2019t do anything to change your mad state,\u201d continued the Doctor. \u201cYou\u2019re simply unwilling to accept responsibility for your own horrific degeneration, which, conveniently, leads us to the here and now. Your TARDIS still has some residual faults from when Eggman tried to roboticize it, I take it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour efforts to purge the majority of Eggman\u2019s lunacy are commendable, there is no question about it,\u201d replied Miss Tarae, \u201cbut the process managed to damage my navigation systems. I was forced to land here to effect repairs. A real shame I couldn\u2019t land during a time when the Sheikah were the technological masters of the world instead of an isolated village in a valley!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat was 10,000 years ago,\u201d remarked Zelda, \u201cas I\u2019ve been reminding you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd taking great pleasure in my annoyance at your repeated reminders!\u201d hissed Miss Tarae. \u201cAnd need I remind you that Ganondorf\u2019s forces were chasing me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGanondorf?\u201d asked the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAn evil sorcerer that\u2019s after me,\u201d explained Zelda. \u201cNot for any romantic attachments. No, his lust is all dedicated to power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot a bad form of lust, all things considered,\u201d remarked Miss Tarae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou shut up,\u201d said Rassilon. \u201cI thought that way once and now look where I am. Exiled from a dead planet. A dead planet, by the way, YOU created. Finishing what the Daleks started?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow see here-!\u201d hissed Miss Tarae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnyone hear that?\u201d asked William. Everyone stopped talking for a bit and listened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026That\u2019s a Bokoblin spear clashing against a Hylian Shield!\u201d revealed Link. \u201c\u2026And that\u2019s a Bokoblin club hitting someone in the head!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow do you-?\u201d asked Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ll explain later,\u201d replied Link. A guard then rushed into the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy lady!\u201d he said to Zelda. \u201cGanondorf is attacking the castle! He\u2019s leading his armies personally!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat?!\u201d asked Zelda. \u201cHe\u2019s never been this bold before!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
