A dark shadow looms in the water. It seems to be at least 150 feet or more! Nothing has been right scince the clouds appeared over Parapa... Winged Dodongos, burnt areas, cave-ins... and now this! The shadow begins to move, then attacks! You ready your weapon, but the fish misses. It is a Horned Gyorg!

Moments later, Hiro, Hiree, and Alpha arrive. "Okay, let's do it to it!" Yells Hiro. Hiree creates a whirlpool, stopping the creature dead in its err... water marky things? "Okay, Alpha, get that horn!" yells Hiree, narrowly missing an electric bolt.

Alpha takes out his rod, holding it above his head as he jumps out of the way of another electrical attack. "Gaia Staff!" The staff glows green yet again, and Alpha uses it like one would a sling. A boulder rises up from behind the group, then suddenly splits apart into multiple shards of earth. The small rocks hurl themselves at the Gyorg's horn, completely encasing it in stone. After a few seconds, Alpha heaves a sigh as the earthen seal hardens together so that now he doesn't have to use his elemental powers to keep the rocks on the horn.

In front of Hiro another small platform slowly hovers out of the sand. "Your ride, my prince," Alpha says with a small grin.

"Hehe, right..." Hiro jumps on the stone. "Prince... please... Get me up in its mouth. Wait, do I have the Psyche bomb? Dammit! Lost it..."
"Here it is, Hiro!" Hiree throws the magic stone to Hiro.

OOC: Nice signature...

OOC: Heh heh...yeah, I made it last night. Yours is nice too.

IC:
Alpha nods in comprehension. "You got it, Hiro!" He throws his staff forward, and the rock Hiro stands upon flies towards the mouth of the giant sea creature. "Go get him," the Sheikah adds to himself.

OOC: Really? I made it right after I read yours. I had to take my name out cuz it wouldnt fit. It said extra stuff, to, but i took it out.
IC: "Thanks, Alpha! And, I f I don't come out, make sure-" The fish leaps out of the water, jarring the rock. Hiro falls into the fish's gaping mouth.
Hiree gasped. "Wow... I never knew he was that brave... he... is willing to... sacrifice himself for... us. How brave..." Hiree starts to cry. "Alpha, what.. do you think he was going... to say?" The Gyorg roars, trying to break free of the tide.

Alpha gasps in shock as Hiro falls. "Hiree, I hate to break it to you, but I don't think he meant to do that!" He turns to face her as a new rock rises from the ground. "I'm going after him. Keep that whirlpool going!" He leaps onto the rock and flies it towards the gigantic fish, searching for any sign of Hiro. 'Hold on...'

A low rumbling shocks Hiro. He had dropped the Psyche Bomb somewhere in the fish, but he knows not where. "Alpha, Hiree... I ... falied..." Hiro begins to weep. Moments later, Hiro's eyes turn red.
"No. I am Hiro Vulcan Infinite. Fire Knight of Incinera. Born to keep the balance. THIS IS WHO I AM!"
The Gyorg suddenly explodes in a flash of fire. Hiro floats toward the sky, burning (literally) with rage. The fire within Hiro flares. A giant sphere of white-hot fire appears around him.
"Shining Supernova!!!"
The ball flies toward the fish, engulfing it with its mighty flames. After the supernova disappears, the Gyorg is gone. Hiro can be seen floating in the waves.
"Ah! Hiro! I'm coming!" Hiree jumps in the water, swimming with the speed, power, and grace of a zoran warrior. She returns with Hiro's body. "Alpha, you know healing magic! Help me!"

'Woah. Impressive attack. Do I get one like that?' Alpha thinks. But he refuses to dwell on such selfish thoughts. His rock drops down to where the two Incinerans are, and he places his glowing hands on Hiro. "Life!"

Hiro gasps for breath. After caching his breath, he sits up. "Thanks, Alpha. Well, I guess I owe you an explanation. That attack I just used was a 'Dragon Spirit' attack. I think yours is um... Gaia Rage? Yeah, Asita used that once... But don't go trying it out! It's severely draining. Normally, I wouldn't have needed to be healed; just pop a green potion and be ready to go! But I was weak from being digested in a mutant fish's stomach..." After he says this, the clouds above Parapa Desert suddenly start to dissipate.
"Wow! We did it!" exclaims Hiree.

'Neat...' Alpha thinks to himself in satisfaction as he looks up into the sky. "So, is that all of Remix's monsters?" he asks as he extends a hand to help Hiro stand up.

"Ah... finally! We're done here. But it's not over yet. As we speak, King Damian is assaulting every town between this desert and Death Mountain. We have to stop him! I'll go ahead and take out Shadow Castle. Wait for me here."
Next Day
Hiro comes from the distance, dragging himself along the sand. "H-Help... me..." Hiro faints.

Alpha has waited all day for his fellow adventurer when he spots him in the distance. "Hiro!" The Sheikah sprints forward to where his companion crawls along the sand. "I was going to tell you that it probably wasn't smart to go on your own," he says as he places his hands on the man's back, "but you left too quickly. Life!" His hands glow a bright white as energy flows back into Hiro's body.

"Thaks, Alpha. Damn... I can't go one day without you having to heal me... We have big problems now. Damian's shadow-magic has made an unstoppable servant... A clone of... me. He uses Blue Fire (like OoT) instead of my Everblaze. (Burns forever) He's got my armor and he can teleport. Also, I stopped by North Castle for a sheild and a speech or two... Yah, now I can protect myself! The clone, Hiron, will be readying Damian's armies for an assault on the villages around here. We have to find him and stop him! But we'll need to enlist the help of the red crusaders. As soon as I send the signal, they'll come for an epic showdown. Let's go. Oh, yeah. Any objections?"

"What about finding Hiron? Where will he be?" asks Hiree.

"Well, he'll probably hang out in a dark place... The Underworld! But we can't get in there..." Hiro is perplexed. "Alpha, do you have any ideas?"

Alpha slowly shakes his head. "I've never tried to get into the underworld before; never made much sense to try and do so." A look comes over his face, showing that he is considering many options. But finally he just shakes his head again. "I guess we should just go see those Crusaders you were talking about. Who knows; maybe they'll have some ideas."
