*From the estate*

Melissa entered the meeting room of the family estate that belonged to Daxter McKensey. She saw a very comfortable couch, and a round table with more comfortable chairs, and she sat down in one. As she sat down, she noticed her sword was glowing, as it mostly did when something shadowy was at hand, and she began to ponder what it was. Then she realized Naside, as his name apparently was, used Dark magic, that must be the source of her sword glowing. While waiting for the others, she put her hand together and said a prayer to the Light. Not because she was worried, but she was a paladin, and the Light was her faith.

Suddenly, Melissa got a telepathic message, and her face turned pale. She quickly left a note for anyone who entered the room, saying she had to check something out, and ran down the stairs quickly. She also drew her sword.

*To the estate*

*From the Estate*
Finn arrived to see Melissa turning back. Must these heroes meddle in other's affairs? Very well... He turned back.
*T the Estate*

*From the basement*

Ganondorf stepped into the meeting room of the estate, and with a mere sweep of his hand, the chair he was about to sit in turned into a small throne, suitable for his standing. He sat down in it, and watched as the wound on his arm closed up, and he grinned wickedly for himself.

That mortal girl was a pest, but he had left a surprise for her that would teach her not to meddle with affairs of the truly powerful. On the table, there was a map over Hyrule and one over Termina, and Ganondorf began to study these, waiting for Phantom Ganon II to arrive.

*From Daxter McKensey's Estate*
Phantom Ganon II materialized at the entryway to the room. He shut the chamber's door behind him. Across the floor from Ganondorf gathered Dark energy, and, from another one of the Phantom's teleportations, formed Neseige.

The Dark Remnant smiled, pleased with the outcome of events. Chuckling softly to himself, the dark being sheathed Mandrag's Gate. Neseige looked momentarily to Ganondorf before turning his gaze to Phantom Ganon and sitting in an armchair near him. The Dark Remnant murmured to himself thoughtfully, "This realm has been reconnected; tied to the Darkness. At last, it will soon be completely eclipsed..."

At last, the dark being gazed back to Ganondorf. His own being, fully restored, one in the same. "They're all too weak. I would have finished them off there and save the trouble, but really watching them fall back into the Darkness is just too fun." the Dark Remnant said, laughing.

"Those mortals are nothing but insignificant gnats, I have left them with my mark upon them, so we will not have to worry about that foolish little girl with the trident". The former gerudo king studied the maps infront of him. "That paladin had potential, she's powerful, but naive".

The warlord took up the map of Hyrule. "Enough about them now. Neseige, I have a job for you. Go to Hyrule castle town, scout out what is going on, and report back to me. If someone gets in your way, kill them, and bring them back here, I have a plan, but I will need dead bodies for it".

He then took up a map of Termina, mumbled something, and put it back down. "Phantom Ganon, go to the gerudo fortress and see what is going on, I require a new headquarter closer to Hyrule, I don't wish to remain in this wormhole of a town longer than needed".

The warlock rose from his chair. "..And as always, I have not returned. If you two do a good job, I will make it look like you two are running the show, meaning you will be ranked above my other minions, and carry out my personal orders". Ganondorf looked out the window. "Look at all these weak mortals, living their everyday lives, not knowing that if they served me, they could become like gods, pathetic mortals". Though Ganondorf's voice often was calm (when he was calm), it was now dripping with disgust.

Torch light glinted in the Dark Remnant's eyes as he watched Ganondorf speak. He did not respond or provide am immediate reaction to show what he was thinking. After a minute, he put a hand to his chin, smiling and softly laughing. Neseige did not stand or move to indicate that he was about to go. Instead, he leaned back in the chair he sat in, watching Phantom Ganon.

The Phantom bowed to the evil king as soon as his orders were issued. "Of course, Lord Ganondorf." As Phantom Ganon II spoke, he took on his Grado Finn disguise. "I visited the fortress and Spirit Temple momentarily shortly before your resurrection, but I know not of any events that have happened since.

"I shall find out anything that has changed." False-Grado Finn said. The disguised Phantom watched its lord speak his final words before being dismissed. With those last words, Phantom Ganon bowed, almost activating its teleportation spell.

However, Neseige attracted his attention when the Dark Remnant stood laughing. "No matter their goals or choices, those ants will never have such power. Whether they tried working with us or not, I'd merely continue to enjoy watching them suffer in the pain that they'll never be able to stop. Their emotions and thoughts of power that will forever remain unfulfilled." The dark being crossed his arms, gazing at Ganondorf.

Neseige started towards the room's door. "I wonder; what do you need these cadavers for? New Phantoms? Surely not. Undead were never all too appealing to me... Perhaps more of..."

He paused by Phantom Ganon II, looking back once more. "I suppose, it never hurts to have a backup, huh?" The Dark Remnant watched the evil king for a moment more before tapping Phantom Ganon's arm. "Time to go, 'Master.'" Wordlessly, Phantom Ganon activated his teleportation spell, and the two vanished into Darkness.
*To Gerudo Desert and Hyrule Fields*

Ganondorf was just about to tell Nesiege that he hadn't asked for his opinion, and expected his orders to be carried out without questioning, but seeing as they left, Ganondorf was satisfied. He sat back down in his throne-chair and began to think, for a new masterplan had been born.

After a while of pondering, Ganondorf left the meeting room and headed into the ballroom, which he was going to change to a throne room.

*To the throne room*

*From Hyrule ~Resistance Camp~*
Black smoke gathered in the meeting room, forming four figures. Neseige stood in the chamber, his hood down, gazing at the three corpses he had gathered. He shook his head. "I had better be able to find some sort of use for these wastes of space..." he growled, the laughter he had a few moment before simmering down. The Dark Remnant looked about the room, raising a hand to the red and gold crystal embedded in his forehead, his feeling there growing dull.

He shut his eyes, focusing. His form was growing slightly unstable and falling apart. Massaging the blackness that appeared there for several moments, he focused on regathering himself. When he opened his eyes, the skin on his forehead reformed.

He looked around the room a second time now realizing that no one was there. What an annoyance. He brought just what that king had asked for, and now he wasn't even here to claim his prize. Ridiculous!

The dark being tapped into the Darkness, seeking the rest of his being. He located the man in Clock Town still within moments. Satisfied, Ganon's Dark Remnant broke apart into black smoke once more and vanished.
