MLP:FiM Video Game Crossover Saga - Legend of Zelda Series

"This is just not good...not good at all..." Twilight said. It had only been a couple of days, but the fact of the matter is, is that the imprisoned combination of Cozy Glow, Lord Tirek, and the ex-queen Chrysalis were missing in action.

"...So...how long has she been going on like this?" Shining Armor asked Flash Sentry.

"For about the past two days. I've done my best to make sure she at least eats and sleeps though. Like any good husband should." Flash Sentry said.

"...Why am I not surprised at all?" Shining Armor asked.

"Because you know your sister?" Flash Sentry asked.

"Good point..." Shining Armor said. "I'm just surprised she responded so quickly to this then." He added.

"Oh, trust me, the guards spent the entire first day double checking the grounds to see if the statue got misplaced. None of them came up with anything, sadly." Flash Sentry said.

"Okay yeah, that sounds about right." Shining Armor said.

"At least Twilight is not wasting much time. After all, these are the three who sought to destroy all of Equestria as we know it." Cadence said.

"So...at what point do we start looking elsewhere?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yeah, Gallus, you must have some idea right?" Smolder asked.

"Not so much..." Gallus said. "But Celestia and Luna were also informed of what has been going on." He added.

"Aren't they retired? Why would Twilight contact them?" Applejack asked.

"Despite not being the rulers of Equestria, better to still have eyes out there then not have them." Flash Sentry said. "...Those were the exact words Twilight used when I asked her the same exact question." He added.

"That's my sister for you." Shining Armor said. Suddenly the doors opened; it was Celestia and Luna.

"Celestia, Luna...did you find them?" Twilight asked.

"We did not, but someone did approach us saying they knew of where they were." Celestia said. Suddenly a pitch-black male Griffon entered the room.

"...Whose this guy?" Gilda asked.

"Someone very familiar with the cause behind the disappearance of your three troublemakers." The griffon said.

"You know who did this? Was it the real Grogar?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Seriously?" Applejack asked.

"Well you never know..." Rainbow Dash trailed off.

"Point taken...especially given our track record..." Applejack said.

"The one you seek is someone more ancient then Grogar himself. In fact, he is someone who predates this planet entirely. You are looking for a being made entirely out of pure void energy." The griffon said.

"Wait someone whose existed before this planet did? How is that possible?" Silverstream asked.

"Hippogriff right, who could that possibly be?" Yona asked.

"And speaking of, who are you anyways? I've never seen you around before." Gilda said.

"You wouldn't have. I don't live in Griffonstone at the moment. I've been on the hunt for the very being I speak of." The griffon said. "Call me Gareth." He added.

"So then Gareth, how do you know about this being's exitance in the first place then?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Because...I accidently created it..." Gareth said. "In fact, I too predate this planet's exitance." He added.

"What? How's that possible?" Twilight asked.

"Long ago, I was a human man. Just an average man with an average job. There was nothing special about me or what I did. One day, after receiving my last paycheck, I was on my way to cash it in, when I was suddenly framed for a bank robbery at the very bank I was going to enter. The criminals had blown up the wall of the bank, and with no one else to blame, the entire blame fell to me. Back then, the concept of innocent until proven guilty did not exist yet, so once you were charged with a crime, you were going to go to jail for it unless you got lucky. I managed to get lucky, and was found not guilty, but back then people would constantly say you did it anyways even though you were found not guilty. Eventually, it got to the point where I had no one in my corner, and my only girlfriend distanced herself from me because of it all. I even lost my job." Gareth said.

"How terrible..." Fluttershy said.

"That's when I took a deal that was too good to be true. With nothing left to lose, it was the only thing I see making my crime go away. At least, that's what I was promised. Instead, I was transformed into a monster known as Zanth. Eventually, I was brought to my senses, and the one who I made the deal with was killed. That was six months ago from today actually. However, I should have died back then, but didn't. Instead, the impossible happened: I was reborn anew, in your world as you see me now. It wasn't long before I felt it: The void energy that made me Zanth. It's come here, to your world. And it's taken that terrible trio for it's own devices." Gareth said.

"So...how do we stop Zanth?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I still have some void energy powers, I can use them to help you chase after the ones Zanth has freed. He has scattered them across to various worlds of video game origin. The Pegasus manipulator known as Cozy Glow was sent to the timeline of the Legend of Zelda series. The one you call Lord Tirek was transferred to the world of the Mario & Luigi Pentalogy. Finally, the former changeling queen known as Chrysalis was put into the wide world of the Sonic Adventure series." Gareth said. "I don't have much power now as I did when I was Zanth, so I can only send you lot to one series of games at a time. So, choose wisely." He added.

"Then let's go after Cozy Glow first." Twilight said.

"We're coming too." Apple Bloom said as she, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon suddenly showed up.

"Wait what? If you five think you're coming with..." Applejack said.

"Rainbow Dash, Cozy Glow locked us in the closet remember? Me, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle have a few unanswered questions." Scootaloo said.

"Now listen he--" Applejack was interupted when Rainbow stopped her.

"No. Let them have this. I kind of what to know why as well. And it's best they get the answer for themselves." Rainbow Dash said.

"...Okay..." Applejack said.

"Plus...I have an inkling we're going to need them soon enough." Rainbow Dash said.

"Very well then. I will transport you into the world of the game that Cozy Glow was last seen in. All I can do from here is observe your progress. All of you who are going, get into one tight group; the range I have is limited." Gareth said. Once the group was formed, Gareth used his powers to send the entire group to the world of the legend of Zelda.
