Majora's Mask is found in Ponyville, with horrible results.
Majora's Mask is a mysterious artifact. When it was found in Ponyville, horrible results happened. Majora is back, and attempting to destroy Equestria. Can the Mane 6 stop him before the ill fate?
Pinkie Pie was happily hopping around in the Evergreen Forest. "La la la la la..." She spotted something on the ground. It was a party mask! Probably a Halloween mask, judging by how it looked. Pinkie Pie took the mask and decided to bring it back to Ponyville and find its owner. On the way back to Ponyville, she bumped into Twilight. "Oh, sorry, Twilight! I didn't see you!" "It's fine, Pinkie - what's that you're holding?" Pinkie bounced excitedly. "It's a party mask! Probably a Halloween mask, by the looks of it!" The mask looked very weird. "Um, Pinkie, are you stealing it?" "No, not at all!" Pinkie said, still bouncing. "I'm trying to find its owner! But I want to try it on first." Twilight shrugged. "What's the harm?" Pinkie put the mask on. "A perfect fit! I'll take - " She started coughing, and collapsed. "Pinkie?!" Twilight rushed to her. The mask started shaking, then flew off Pinkie's face. "Well, well, well. If it isn't our dear Twilight," the mask said. "Who are you?" Twilight challenged. The mask chuckled. "You can just look me up in one of those books, can't you? I am Majora's Mask! After I failed to destroy Hyrule, I migrated to here. I'll destroy this planet instead. But I have to start small." "Did you kill Pinkie?" Twilight asked, horrified. Majora's Mask laughed again. "Of course not. I simply knocked her out." Twilight lunged at Majora's Mask, but it flew out of the way. Twilight landed on her face. "Ow..." Majora's Mask let out a haunting cackle. "I shall take over Equestria, and no one will stop me!" It then clattered to the ground. "Huh?" Twilight asked, confused. She dashed to it and poked it. It didn't budge an inch. Pinkie got up. " - it off now!" Pinkie continued, oblivious to being knocked out. "Oh, look, it's off already!" Twilight backed away from the mask. "Pinkie, we have to get the others. There's a big problem."
After all the Mane 6 were together, Twilight explained what happened. Rainbow Dash was skeptical. "How do we know this wasn't a hallucination, or a publicity stunt, or - " "Ah'm sure Twilight isn't lyin," Applejack interrupted. "I agree with Applejack," Rarity said. "Twilight hasn't lied before. Neither has Applejack." Applejack chuckled a bit. Fluttershy had dove under a table in fright after Twilight had told the story. "Majora sounds scary..." "Oh, toughen up, Fluttershy," Rainbow Dash said, pulling her out from under the table. "Will the Elements work on Majora?" Rarity suggested. "That's a good idea, Rarity. Let's go to Princess Celestia!"
Author's Notes: Sorry the first chapter took so long, it took a while to write. If it sounds bad, DON'T FLAME AT ME, THIS IS ONLY MY SECOND FIMFICTION. I may have gotten the details a bit wrong, but I do know that Majora attempted to crash the moon into Hyrule.
The Mane 6 arrived at Princess Celestia's castle, but two guards were blocking it. "Access is denied," they both said at the same time. It was slightly creepy. "Um, we're looking for Princess Celestia," Twilight said. "Access is denied," they repeated. "Master is occupied at the moment." "Ah think these ponies got a bit off their 'eads," Applejack whispered to the others. "No kidding," Rarity replied. "That one has a horrid armor color!" Twilight rolled her eyes. "Well, there's nothing we can really do." As they backed away, Pinkie noticed Twilight smiling mischevously. "Twilight, why are you smiling? Are you going to throw a surprise party?" "I think we can get to the castle," Twilight said, still smiling.
At night, the guards were still there. Not even blinking. Twilight crawled out of a nearby bush, in black clothes. The rest of the Mane 6 followed. The guards simply stood there. "Ooh! Is this a party?" Pinkie Pie asked for the fifteenth time. "No, Pinkie, it's not a party! We're trying to infiltrate the castle so we can find out what's happening!" "Aww. I was looking forward to a party." "How about one after Majora's defeated. Sound good?" Twilight suggested. "Ooh! Yay!" "Okay, Applejack," Twilight said. "You ready?" "Armed and ready!" Applejack replied. She chucked an apple into the top window. The guards turned around. "Intruders!" They went inside the castle. "Now's our chance! Let's go!" The ponies headed towards Celestia's sanctuary.
Twilight busted open the door. "Princess! We - " She stopped cold. Majora was floating above Princess Celestia's body. "Once again, she's not dead. Just knocked out." "What did you do to her?" Applejack demanded. Majora laughed. "Isn't it obvious? I knocked her out. I just said that." "What's your plan?" Twilight asked. Majora laughed again. "You think I'd tell you? Cause you'd be right. But before that... Let's make sure you're not uncooperative." Suddenly, Twilight flew into the wall. Then Applejack. Then Rarity, and so on. Eventually, all six were stuck to the wall, immobilized. "I hope you enjoyed my black magic," Majora said. "It lets me bend others to my will. I can't control their mouths, so that's a problem. But I trust you'll be silent. First to speak, unless I approve questions, gets slaughtered. Understand?" The Mane 6 nodded. "Very well, then. I'll explain my plan in detail."
Author's Notes: Sorry for ending at a cliffhanger, but I really can't think of a plan for Majora :P I'm open to suggestions.
Majora hesitated before speaking. "My plan is simple. "When I tried to destroy Hyrule, I took a host known as the Skull Kid, controlled him, and used him to crash the moon into Termina. Unfortunately, this idiot boy named Link stopped me." Majora growled a bit. "I appeared to have been destroyed, but that was not the case! I had created a doppleganger of myself called "Majora's Wrath". Link fell for it easily. I escaped to space, and ended up landing here. So, I shall destroy this planet - Equestria, I believe - by crashing the moon into this planet instead!" Majora paused. "Any questions?" No pony was able to raise their hooves, because they were paralyzed by Majora's black magic. "Okay, good," Majora said. "Since you know about this, I'm afraid I'll have to kill you. It'll be painless. No worries." Majora started charging up an attack. He was just about to unleash it. "This is the end!" Rarity wailed. But just as Majora was about to unleash his attack... An arrow flew through the air and hit Majora in the eye. "HEY!" Majora growled. It was a human in green clothes, holding a bow. "You may have escaped me before, Majora, but you're not getting away now!" Link said.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: No, the Mane 6 did not know it was Link. I just wanted to include his name, for those who didn't have an idea.
The ponies were freed of Majora's black magic and dropped to the ground. "LINK?!" Majora said in disbelief. "How did you get here?" "This mask I found that lets me travel through space. I haven't named it yet," Link said, taking off the mask. "You're Link?" Twilight asked in almost as much disbelief as Majora. Link glanced at her. "Yes. Why is that so hard to believe?" "Um... we don't have humans here." "And we don't have ponies in Hyrule. So we're even," Link replied. "Enough talk! I'll leave you be... FOR NOW. But I will be back, and with minions!" Majora left the ponies with those ominous words and disappeared. "So, Link... Nice fashion style," Rarity said, surprised she could get the lie out. "Thanks. So... could you tell me a bit about this place?" "This is Equestria," Twilight explained. "You're in Ponyville right now. I'm Twilight Sparkle." "I'm Pinkie Pie! Wanna have a party at some point?" Pinkie Pie asked excitedly. "I suppose, after Majora's stopped," Link said. "Mah name's Applejack." "Rainbow Dash is my name, flying's my game," Rainbow Dash bragged. "I'm Rarity, a stylist," Rarity said, still mentally wincing at Link's horrid outfit. "I'm... I'm Fluttershy," Fluttershy whispered from under the table. "She's shy," Twilight whispered to Link. "Yeah, I kind of got that," Link replied. "Do you have any restaurants nearby?" "Follow us," Twilight directed. They headed to the restaurant. Link ordered a sandwich. "Here is your order, sir," the pony said after the food was delivered. He left with a suspicious glance at Link. "So, could you tell us about Majora?" Twilight asked. "He tried to crash the moon into Termina - I'm sure you know that - and possessed a Skull Kid. I took his doppleganger down, thinking it was him, but..." Link trailed off, thinking he didn't need to say anything else. "This Majora fellow is a troublemaker," Applejack said. "A big one." "You can say that again," Link replied. "He's almost as bad as Ganon." "Who's Ganon?" Twilight asked. "Ganon's an evil king. He keeps trying to take over Hyrule and steal the Triforces." "What are Triforces?" Twilight asked excitedly. She had a thirst for knowledge. "There's the Triforce of Wisdom, and the Triforce of Power. There's also the Triforce of Courage. If all three are combined, something tremendous happens." Before Twilight could ask what happens, Link finished his sandwich. "I'll find an inn or something," he said and left in a seemed rush. "Do you think he was getting bored?" Pinkie Pie asked Twilight. "Of course not. Who ever got bored of explaining things?" "Well, there was - " Pinkie Pie fell asleep. Twilight face-hooved.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: I did not mean to insult Link's outfit. I think it's really cool, in fact. I just HAD to throw out that line for Rarity, though. XD And sorry for some of the boring parts, but I had to do it.
Majora, at his secret base Princess Celestia's castle, was pondering. "I can't pace back and forth like this!" Majora sprouted an arm. Then another arm. And then a leg. And then another leg. And finally, he sprouted a head. He had become this: Majora started moonwalking and pacing at the same time. "That's better." "Sir," a pony said, walking in. "Someone is attacking us. Sir." "WHAT?! How'd they get in?!"
"I can't believe Majora was stupid enough to leave his front gate open," Rainbow Dash said as they walked down a large hall. "I mean, he devised this clever plan and ends up leaving his gate open." "Some villains overthink," Twilight replied, chuckling. Two guards leaped out of the hallway's back door. "Hello! We have to capture you and bring you to Majora." "Ah don't think so," Applejack replied, as she chucked a lasso at one of them and smacked that guard into the other guard. "Yeehaw!" "Let's go," Twilight said after both guards were knocked out. The characters walked into the door the guards had entered. Something that looked like Majora was moonwalking back and forth. "Hello! Nice of you to join me!" "We're going to stop you as soon as we can. That's why we came back here as soon as Link ate," Twilight said in a challenging tone. "Well, Link's not with you. And I'm in my less powerful but speedier form, Majora's Incarnation. Now, prepare for your doom, as the cool villains say! Except for this other guy... I'll quote him later. Prepare for you doom, as I just said!" Majora charged at Applejack, but she slid under his legs and spin-kicked him. Majora fell over and started trying to get back up. "Oh, no, you don't!" Twilight fired a magic arrow at the stunned Majora, who screamed like a toddler. "That's just plain disturbing," Rainbow Dash said, backing away. Fluttershy hid under the same table she had hid under before. Majora eventually got back up and decided to use his black magic. Books telekinetically flew at the ponies. Twilight got hit in the head by "How to Moonwalk", but it didn't hurt too much. She managed to dodge the rest of the books, along with the other ponies. "I would throw you against a wall again, but that's no fun! You can't fight if I do that!" Majora rammed into Rainbow Dash, who passed out. "I sure hope we don't destroy the room," Fluttershy whispered from under the table. Then it hit Twilight. "Guys! Distract him!" Twilight rushed out of the room.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Woohoo, two chapters in a row! Anyways, I may have spelled "telekinetically" wrong. And for those wondering what the quote Majora was going to say was before he brutally mauled them, here it is: "What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets. But enough talk. Have at you!" Yes, I play SOTN often.
While 5 of the Mane 6 were distracting Majora, Twilight rushed outside the room and looked around a bit. She found a door labeled "Elements of Harmony". "Majora overthinks a lot," she said to herself as she rushed to the room. She opened the door, and there they were, on the wall! The Elements of Harmony! But, for some reason, another element was labeled below each original element. For example, "Deception" was below "Honesty", according to Majora's labels. The new elements looked like the original, but the opposite color. Like, for example, Betrayal, opposite of Loyalty, was blue. "I see you've found the Elements of Death," a voice sounded behind Twilight. She jumped, then whipped around to find Majora. Majora let out a childish cackle. "They weren't easy to take care - oh, who am I kidding? They were EXTREMELY easy to take care of. Oh, and you're next!" "What did you do with them?" Twilight demanded. "Honestly, you do not want to know," Majora said. "It will terrify you." "Fine, then," Twilight said, putting on the Magic crown. "Only one?" Majora did the cackle again. "You can't stop me with that." "It's worth a try." Twilight charged at Majora, but he moonwalked out of the way and put on the opposite crown, "Evil". "Evil?" Twilight was confused. "How is that the opposite of magic?" "I prefer to call magic 'friendship'," Majora answered. "And I'm not the only one using these. You'll be using them as soon as I take all of you out!" Majora stopped moving. His muscles started pumping up. "Oh, god, that's just gross," Twilight said, backing away. Majora's face turned much uglier, and finally, his arms turned into whips, leaving this: "I'll whip the sense out of you!" Majora chuckled. "Ha. Whip the sense." He snapped his whips at Twilight and hit her in the flank. It stung like when you put iodine on a cut. Eventually, Majora hit Twilight in the head, causing her to black out.
Twilight slowly came to. "Well, well, well," Majora, standing over the six ponies, said, chortling. "Now that you're all together, let's begin." Majora started walking - thankfully, not moonwalking - back and forth. "I am going to take control of you with my black magic. Sadly, I can only do one pony at a time, but it'll be worth it. "Then, I'll use the Elements of Death - the copies - to control the moon. And finally... I'll crash the moon into this planet!" The ponies gasped in horror.
AUTHOR'S NOTES: Sorry for the crappy writing, I'm in a hurry.
Majora walked to a telescope in his evil lair. He took a look. "Ah, perfect! The moon's at the right angle. Now, since you're probably not going to cooperate, I'll MAKE you." Majora activated his black magic, immobilizing the ponies. "Here you go." Majora placed the Elements of Chaos onto each pony. "I don't know how to make you cooperate with these, so... use them, otherwise I'll whip the heck out of you." He deactivated his black magic. All the ponies except Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, not wanting to get whipped, activated them. "Majora?" Pinkie Pie asked. "Yes! A question! Anyways, what?" Majora replied smoothly. "Before we all meet our doom, could I give you some cake?" Majora looked confused. "Why did you bring cake?" "Nothing's an occasion without cake!" "Oh. Sure." Majora made Pinkie Pie take out the cake. He gobbled it down like a hound. "That is GOOD." Rainbow Dash, being Rainbow Dash, was quite resistant. "I'm not going to use these!" Majora snapped his whip. Rainbow Dash wanted to scream in pain, but she gritted her teeth. It was like nothing she had ever experienced before. "Fine," Rainbow Dash whimpered. All the necklaces began to glow. "YES! Now I can destroy this planet, just like what should have happened in Hyrule!" "You really think so?" a voice came from the doorway. An arrow flew through the air and pierced Majora in the whip/arm. "OUCH!" Link stepped out. But he looked... different. The new Link was holding an oversized sword that looked kind of like a vine. He was wearing blue armor and reddish boots, and had a blue V shape on his forehead. His hair had been recolored green. "No!" Majora looked terrified. "Not... fierce deity Link! That was what defeated me the last time!" He straightened. "But no matter. The moon is still falling and there's nothing you can do about it!" "We'll see about that." Link notched another arrow, but Majora turned into his Mask form and flew to the moon. "Come on, ponies," Link said. "We have a psychotic, childish, squealing mask to take care of." "But how are we going to get up there?" Twilight asked, curious. "We've got that covered." Some alicorn guards from the castle entered the room. "We'll carry you up to the moon," the guards offered. "Except for Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy." Fluttershy was still hiding under a table, looking at the moon. The moon looked absolutely horrifying, with a face. A very creepy face with a disturbing grin and soul-piercing eyes. "Okay, maybe we'll have to carry her, too," one guard said.
One by one, the ponies and Link were carried up to the moon's unfaced surface. "Be careful!" The guards bid farewell. "The only visible thing is this tree with a passage in it," Rainbow Dash pointed out. "Well, we should go in," Applejack suggested. And so, the ponies went into the tree.
"This... is not what I expected," Twilight admitted. The inside of the tree was bigger than the outside. Yep, TARDIS style. But the shocking thing was what the inside looked like. Since the tree had twisted branches and no leaves, the inside was expected to look horrific. But it was a grassy plain, with beautiful flowers and a giant tree in the middle. That tree didn't have a hole inside it, however. Around the tree, four kids wearing masks were crowded around, frolicking. Twilight walked to one kid. "Do you know anything about Majora?" "The mask is in the Great Tree," the kid responded. "You can only enter once you have played with all of us." "What does 'playing' mean? Does it involve getting dirty?" Rarity asked worriedly. The kid laughed. "No. Would you like to play with me?" "Um... sure." "Follow." The kid walked to a stairway and went downwards, with the ponies following. The inside of the stairway was simply a stone brick room. The bricks were covered in vines and cracked. Then the kid flashed with dazzling light. The ponies had to look away for a few seconds. When the flash cleared, the kid was gone. In his place was a green-skinned man with various colors scattered around his body. His face remained the same as the mask the kid had been wearing. The man had a sword and shield. "I am Odolwa, the Masked Jungle Warrior," Odolwa said. "I will accept your challenge." "This is 'playin'?" Applejack said with disbelief. Fluttershy was trying to find a place to cower, but the entrance had been sealed. Odolwa slashed at Rainbow Dash, who avoided it easily. "You're too slow," Rainbow Dash taunted. Twilight used her magic to shoot a magic bolt at Odolwa. However, he blocked it with his shield. It did knock him into the wall, stunning him for a few seconds. Dash took the opportunity to punch him in the face. Link dashed towards Odolwa and slashed at his face. Odolwa howled with pain, but got back up. "Such tactics will prove futile now." He suddenly started spinning around while holding his sword out - a spinning slash. Applejack took out a lasso and whipped it onto the sword, being careful not to slice the rope in half. She pulled with all her might, causing Odolwa to topple. Rainbow Dash punched again, Applejack kicked the stunned Odolwa in the face, Link fired a flaming arrow, and Twilight fired a magic bolt again. Odolwa flashed with light again. Suddenly, the ponies were back at the Great Tree. One of the kids was gone. However, lying next to them was a mask - the same one the kid had worn. "Now I see. We have to take down the rest of them," Link said. "We can do it!" Rainbow Dash bragged. Since I don't want to go into tons of boring details, the ponies defeated Goht, the Masked Mechanical Monster; Gyorg, the Gargantuan Masked Fish; and Twinmold, the Gigantic Masked Insect. When they had all four, the Great Tree began shuddering. Then a hole split open inside. "It's time for the final battle," Twilight said confidently. The ponies walked inside.
The inside of this tree was average sized. However, it was rainbow colored and flashy. Majora's Mask was in the back wall, eyes closed. "So... you made it. I'm surprised. Well, then. If you win, you can stop the moon. If you lose... Equestria goes bye bye. Now let's get on with it." The masks flew out of the ponies' hooves and into four other walls. "Hey!" Rainbow Dash yelled, trying to pull one out. Majora opened his eyes. The wall started shaking, and finally, Majora flew off the wall. "Good-bye, my little ponies!" Majora spun like a maniac in an attempt to slash some of the ponies. Link shot him with an arrow, but it was deflected. Luckily, the ponies managed to avoid Majora. Majora started flashing with a red light. Link switched masks to a white-colored Link and threw out some boomerangs. "OW!" Majora fell to the ground. Link quickly switched to the Fierce Deity mask and started beating Majora up with his sword. The other ponies joined in, except Fluttershy, who was cowering in the corner. Majora screamed. "BOSS REMAINS, COME TO LIFE!" The four masks flew off the walls, animated. They fired energy at the ponies and Link, who took the Boss Remains down without ease. "That mask is a durn powerful one," Applejack commented. Link shrugged. "What can I say? It has its uses." Majora fired a fiery beam. Rainbow Dash was hit. "OW!" Twilight, panicking, quickly summoned a water spell to douse Rainbow Dash. It worked. "Phew! Thanks! I thought I was roasted!" Rainbow Dash sighed with relief along with Twilight. "Relief? During YOUR DOOM?" Majora was then stabbed by Fierce Deity Link. "NOOOOOOOOOOO! YEEEEEEEEOW!!!!" "YES! Equestria is - " "It's not over," Link said. "We still have two more forms." Majora did the grotesque transformation into Majora's Incarnation. "Oh yeah. This." Majora started moonwalking around. He was so fast that Link's shots kept missing and images of Majora were left in a trail as he moonwalked. Twilight managed to hit him with a magic bolt. He fell to the ground. "BEAT HIM UP!" Pinkie Pie screamed with excitement and blew on a party whistle. Even Fluttershy joined in this time as the ponies attacked. Link added a nice touch. "One more to go!" Majora's Incarnation backed off, then transformed into Majora's Wrath with the muscle-pumping grossness. Majora instantly went for the whip maneuver and swung his whip across the screen room. It hit all of the ponies, who fell to the ground. Even Link couldn't stand it. "Yes.... YES! I knew I could win. Now.... to finish you off!" Majora raised his whip. "Oh, no, you don't!" Twilight gasped. "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna?!" Princess Celestia nodded. "I finally recovered from Majora's magic and found out where you were. I managed to wake up Luna." "We'll be able to return all the harm you've caused," Luna said, speaking to Majora. "Try me," Majora said, growling. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna charged up a spell and fired. "You can't kill me with that pathetic - " It went right through Majora. And not the ghost-like - it hit him and ended up going through him. Majora started shaking. Cracks started forming in his body. Then finally, he exploded into dust. Fluttershy let out a "Yay". "We beat Majora!" Twilight jumped with joy. "You still have to stop the moon!" Celestia pointed out. "How about the Elements of Harmony?" Applejack suggested. "Good idea, Applejack." The ponies, with the help of the princesses, got back to the castle. "Wow. Majora's evil lair was just the top room of the castle. I'm shocked," Twilight said, without sarcasm. She dashed to the "Elements" room and handed her friends each of the elements. "Now, let's activate them!" They charged up. A rainbow beam blasted out, countering the chaos energy on the moon. The rainbow made the moon start shaking, come to a stop, then slowly turn in the other direction. The ponies stopped just as the moon was in the right place. "We saved Equestria. I don't believe it." "We couldn't have without Link here," Applejack said, pointing to Link. Link blushed. "You guys helped a lot too." He had an idea. "Pinkie, how about that party?" "I'm on it!" Pinkie Pie dashed to her house.
