The crater looked to be no different than when the robot had last left it. The footage of the duo being swallowed up by King Dodongo was the most recent in its archive and frankly the most chilling for the machine to replay. The land was somewhat ravaged by the hordes of Dodongos, but they seemed to be absent from the crater for the time being. How they planned to summon them was a factor that A.I.M. had yet to consider. Perhaps the sage synthetic could brainstorm with its allies once they arrived.

The machine itself was situated next to a large and jagged boulder not too far off from the gigantic green pit that was once the Hyrule kingdom. The machine only had records to go by for the old castle’s design, but it meant nothing to the calculating robot besides a face that it could compare the ruins with.

The sky itself wasn’t so greeting, though it never was. What looked to be black storm clouds circled around the around, but it almost never rained around this area. For whatever reason rain seemed fairly absent from the lands, prepares it was the virus interfering with the ecosystem? It sounded absolutely ridiculous, but given that the planet almost never had a sunny day it wasn’t outside the realm of belief.

A.I.M. couldn’t hope, but it tried to fool its processor into calculating a higher percent succession margin for the sake of its fellow machines.

Ready? GO!

Dimentio was there first due to his teleportation. He was watching the robot through invisibility but it seemed lost in thought. Was that even possible? Maybe he was searching his data banks. Either Way, Dimentio was growing bored and a Black Outline of a box appeared in front of A.I.M. and after a flip the now 3D Jester appeared in front of A.I.M. "Greetings, Army bot, may I assume your the model known as A.I.M.?" Dimentio asked.

[Deleted]

Behind the Robot and the Jester, a small flicker of light formed that separated into two bright lights forming a circle, then a complex looking pentagram. The pentagram slowly began to shift around, spinning wildly until forming into the face of Jack frost. From the pentagram, a bright light formed from which the trio popped out of with there permanent grins showing wide. "Alright, were ready to explore some belhee-ho's!" Jack frost said, having a very cheery demeanor about him. His brothers not so much, Pyro jack looked very bored with a mixture of I dont want to do this mixed in. Jack ripper...was the exact opposite. He looked ready to explore dome dodongo's! Probably because he would get to stab something by the end of the day, even if it was just the wall's.

The brothers moved themselves over to the side of the robot, jack frost then noticing who it was...Uh-oh. Jack frost immediately hit the ground, immediately begging "IM SORRY I DID THAT THING WITH THE DEMONS AND THE HOSTAGES AND STUFF HEE-HO!" Little to everyone's knowing, Pyro jack was the only one that actually read the mission briefing. Jack frost only heard "You get to go free" and picked up the rest from his brother. Jack ripper only heard "You get to stab things" and hopped on board. Jack ripper moved away from the group, moving behind dimentio an flicking out his razor, moving closer and about to see if something would pour out of the man before both jack ripper and jack frost were hit by pyro jack's lantern to make them straighten up. He moved them back beside A.I.M and waited ti be told what to do.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The machine continued to stand in its position while it waited for the rest of the party. It remained unmoving and yet seemed more like an overgrown toy than an actual living synthetic. Perhaps it was the plastic material that gave that impression the most? It didn’t matter that much.

A cold wind brushed by A.I.M. and yet nothing on its chassis reacted to the gust. Its auditory sensor then picked up a voice arising from in front of the robot, but its ability to see the jester was delayed. The smashdar that was equipped into the machine’s internal computer was able to identify the creature. “Unit detected, subject: Dimentio, Level of hostility: unknown. Proceed with slight caution” its onboard computer had warned. A.I.M.’s optics shimmered as the being attempted to identify it as well. “Correct, greetings Dimentio” the machine returned. “Would unit Dimentio accept an exchange of gestures with this unit?” it questioned first since most Li residences tended to mistake its attempts at a handshake to be a punch. The sage synthetic was not designed to meet simple organic protocols.

A swift flick of light arose from behind the two, which summoned the three Jack brothers and in turn they began to swarm around the place within seconds. Even the robot had a difficult time keeping track of what was happening around it. It had known that the three criminals had hopped aboard the mission and frankly the machine would have preferred a much more capable and trustworthy team, but time was of the essence due to the fact that the speed at which a Dodongo could digest anything was not recorded.

Only the machine’s head moved to investigate the three impish creatures next to it, given their size it also had to angle it downward. “Your actions will not go unrecorded, but you may attempt to appease them. Attempts at risking any other Life Sphere resident shall not be tolerated” the machine answered the creature’s plea. It then angled its head in a manner that it could see both parties within their tiny attack squad. “From what this unit has gathered, it is nearly the time for the Dodongo herd’s feeding frenzy. The success margin for this mission is significantly higher if we travel inside King Dodongo than if we tried to fight it. This unit has stored some poison mushrooms to make the transition easier. All that is required is to attract the horde.”

[Coolshaymin]

Before Dimentio could answer the strangeness of the robot asking for a greeting the 3 demons appeared. From their question it seemed like they were criminals... Interesting... Dimentio has not been in the Life Sphere very long so he did not know what they did. However, he did know about Ripper trying to sneak up on him, the dimensional properties of his teleporting would simply give him away. He just simply letting him have his fun since he would strike first if he should've made the move but fortunately for Ripper his Pyro brother stopped an inner quarrel.

Dimentio listened to the robot's plan and answered, "Oh, so to save from the belly of the beast we go into the belly of the beast? This sounds like its going to be quite interesting. If you need a distraction, I'm your guy, I shall distract them like a beautiful painting in a museum for the worst. Then once your in I shall pop in like a clown sneak attacking a bat with a crowbar," Dimentio suggested with 2 very bizzare similies.

[Deleted]

Jack frost laid down on his fiery brothers head, listening to A.I.M with glee. "Oooooooohhh OK! Any of us would be a great distraction hee-to!" Jack frost said, hopping off his brother. "Buuut either way were going inside a giant Dinologo or whatever you called it my robot pally, Hee-ho!" Jack frost immediately wrapped his tiny cool to the touch arm around A.I.M.  Pyro jack sat down, tapping the side of his pumpkin head as he kept Jack Ripper down to the ground by use of his lantern. Jack ripper gave a creepy "Hee hee hee" as he wiggled trying to get out. "You'll get to stab things later, i promise." Pyro jack said, giving much glee too his Serial murdering undead brother.

Jack frost immediately got bored with A.I.M, and moved his attention to dimentio. "Hey...Your floating....WOW, YOU LIKE MY BROTHER PYRO!" He said, immediately asking a million questions at light speed about how he managed to float, why he's floating, what can he do and generally acting like a little kid who just saw a super hero. "Oh, yeah that's right we forgot to introduce ourselves to you mister jesteree-ho!" Jack frost smiled, picking up his brothers and hugging them both. "Were the jack brothers, Jack frost, Pyro jack and Jack Ripper!" He said, smiling as pyro jack groaned. "Can we just get on with this..." Pyro mumbled, obviously not liking this amount of togetherness with his family.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Neither could be trusted, that much A.I.M. was very well aware of. Whether it be personal past history that the machine shared with them or what it learned from a quick scan of Dimentio’s background. It wasn’t very detailed and a few entries seemed to be missing, but it was able to understand the gist of a psychopath hiding behind a jolly face. It wasn’t the time for the robot to get picky though. The machine acknowledged what the two had planned with a simple nod of its tiny head.

A low rumble began to echo across the land after they finished with their words. A.I.M. spun its entire upper body around to investigate the happenings and its optics zoomed onto the scene that was taking place within the canyon. Like a mighty herd of wildebeests, the reptilian creatures poured down the crater side exactly opposite to them and began to pool at the bottom of the trench. Among the horde which could easily be spotted was their King, whom was just stomping about its fellow infected troops proudly. They didn’t seem to pick up on the group’s location just yet, but they were hardly being attentive to anything outside the crater.

The robot twisted its body back around to fixate its view onto its current allies. Even allies seemed like a stretch of their relationship with one another. “There is no option to turn back until the trophies of the two are safe. Time is of the essence, but do not proceed until ready” the sage synthetic instructed as a hatch on the base of the unit popped open to reveal a small collection of mushrooms. “Take one each. Do not use them until the last possible moment. They are still experimental and therefore might not last forever. They are guaranteed to last longer than the average Poison Mushroom however.”

“We cannot fight them all, we must provoke King Dodongo or at least charge through the army if we plan to make it at all. “

[Coolshaymin]

"I am the pleaser of crowds, Dimentio!" Dimentio decided to due his quick intro. He was annoyed by all the questions of the little blue demon but kept a smile since it was his main perk that a smile is always on his face. "Indeedagree with the fire demon, haste would be wise," Dimentio agreed. He listened to A.I.M.'s plan and simply waved it off. "So, what? We eat these mushrooms and get into his mouth? I can easily provoke the King Dogongo if needs be. A little bit of MAGIC and he'll be at us in no time!" Dimentio said pointing upwards and a yellow spiky sphere appearing on his finger.

[Deleted]

Immediately, like little children the jack brothers reached for one of the mushrooms as they chuckled, giggled and laughed at they crowded around it. "Leave it to us mister, we can do it! Hee-ho!" The fairy's immediately began skipping along the group, watching the dodongo's from afar. "Oh wow, they all look like demon's from our world!" Jack frost said excitedly, looking curious as ever. "But, i bet they all still bleed....heeeheeeheeeheee!" Jack ripper replied, moving along and taking out his straight razor. They looked ready at least, but hopefully this excitability wont cost the mission.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

A.I.M. nodded at Dimentio’s suggestion. While magic seemed illogical to the technology based machine, it couldn’t argue that he seemed most fit for the task. He was somehow able to teleport at will, so that made him a fairly valuable diversion in this mission. How well the robotic being could trust him though was still yet to be seen, so perhaps the sage synthetic should avoid direct contact with the Dodongos until the being has certified their entrance into the pack leader. Even then, there was still plenty of room for either one of the machine’s partners to sabotage the plan whether it be intentional or not. “Affirmative, attract as little attention as possible from the underlings.”

The machine’s head immediately twisted toward the Jack Ripper of the three brothers after he made an idle comment about the Dodongos. “Negative, blades and swords prove to be ineffective on their rough hides. Do not attempt confrontation unless necessary and avoid conventional tools at all costs” A.I.M. commanded before switching its view back to the horde once more. It analyzed a couple of stragglers being picked off by the mighty Dodongo King himself, even to the point where he was swallowing his disciples entirely. They didn’t even give off much reaction to it either, almost like they accepted their fates at the hands of their master. An odd race to record indeed.

Without warning, the machine’s exhausts began to burst into a blaze as its chassis began to rocket into the skies. It could observe the chaos so much better from the air and possibly deduce when the perfect moment would be to return to the ground below. The jester just needed to perform his end of the bargain now.

[Coolshaymin]

Dimentio clapped his hands together at the Robot's approval, "Perfect! I'll begin the magic show in a moment!" Dimentio said as a black outline of a box appeared around him. With a flip, he was gone. Another box shortly appeared in the crater behind the Horde Dodongos in the crater and Dimentio called to the Dodongo Horde, "Hey, Bomb eaters! Come and get your dinner!" It said as it called to all of them in its and then flying in the opposite direction of where they met.

However, this was just a duplicate Dimentio made to distract the Horde as the real Dimentio appeared out of a box flip next to A.I.M. "Quite the looker, isn't he? Made him just to fool creatures into attacking the false one and even doubling my attack in Dimension D. So, shall we begin? Or is there still finishing touches?" Dimentio asked as a few more Dimentios joined by appearing out of the first one to confuse the horde and send them in differant directions.

[Deleted]

the jack brothers watched as dimentio's little clone distracted the dodongo's. They ooh'd and aaah'd for a moment before growing bored. "When are we gonna fight something, were booooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooorrrreeddd ... hee-ho." Jack frost said annoyingly like a little kid being taken on a long long trip. Pyro jack sighed, annoyed by his brothers voice before clonking him in the head with his lantern to get him to be quiet. "So, Mister A.I.M. What can you tell us about these creatures?" Pyro said, looking oddly confused from them.


Meanwhile, Jack frost hopped onto Dimentio happily as he chuckled. "You know, you could make a grheeat demon ho!" He said, poking the side of dimentio's head to see if that was indeed the jesters face. "We could teach you all sorts of spells, Like Bufu, Agi, Garu or Zio!" Jack frost then gasped loudly. "YOU COULD BE THE FOURTH JACK BROTHER, HEE-HO!" At least jack frost seemed to be having fun with the group. Jack ripper started chasing some squirrels, stabbing at them wickedly.

[Mr. Game & Watch]

The Dodongo horde seemed to be playing out like it was any other day. Sniffing the ground and being wary of whether or not they were about to be stomped on by their leader as he casually thrashed about like some sort of alpha male despite them not being canine. Suddenly a jester like being appeared for the sole purpose of mocking their mere presence. Being feral creatures, they cared little for the words spewing out of the clown’s mouth and more for what sort of flesh this new individual was made of. The entire horde began following the fake Dimentios taking the bait like the unintelligent creatures they are. While the minions decided to waste their breath, King Dodongo slowly pursued while circling his troops like he was waiting for them to weaken the prey.

Just before Jack Frost left their meeting place behind, the jagged rock that they met up around began to shift. A pair of eyes sprung open and the grimace of Moundo grew out of the rock’s face. The mass lifted off the ground as he pulled his little yellow feet from the earth. The crater tremored as the thing shifted his position to face the area he had crashed landed not too long ago. His eyes immediately locked onto the massive lizard and he dropped to his side and began rolling down the hill, the boulder gaining a ridiculous amount of momentum as he rolled down the valley. He slammed into his target and ground pounded onto his back before he could even flinch. “Open yer yapper, lizard lips!” he commanded as he continued to hop on the lizard. His jaw came loose and eventually the king did as he was told, not willingly.

The drone hovered over the battleground as it watched both the rock giant and Dimentio’s decoy handle the reptiles. It calculated their chances and going as quickly as possible seemed to be the most successful route. “The unit’s appearance does not factor into this situation, but yes that unit indeed looks like you. The time is best to go now, absorb the mushroom’s power and we shall move into the King Dodongo’s gullet.” It quickly turned to the other Jack brother as he questioned the reptiles’ capabilities. “Such data is not required for this mission, but if unit Pyro Jack must be informed: Dodongos are able to spew fire breath and they have a weakness to explosives so long as they eat the explosive. Otherwise their hide is near invulnerable.”

Once A.I.M. completed its response to the curious imp, it popped its compartment open once more and phased the poison mushroom into its external plastic hide. The act made the machine shrink down to almost a fourth of its original size and rocketed straight toward the beast’s mouth. It expected its allies to follow.

[Coolshaymin]

Even though Dimentio was not happy with the offer form the Jack, his smile remained. "I prefer to stay me. My magic is better than your primitive demon magic. Anyway, gotta shrink," without further ado Dimentio pulled out the mushroom and then held a blue flame to burn it and began to shrunk down just like A.I.M. He wasn't too familiar with these mushrooms but he did know what they did.

The rock guy that Dimentio assumed was a Goron was a bit perplexing though. Why did it just pop up to help them like that? "Why did Rocky pop up? Either way I'm ready." Dimentio said as he watched his still large Dimentios fly around to confuse the Dodongos, much to Dimentio's amusement.

[Deleted]

Jack frost sighed at Dimentio's decline as each jack brothers took there own poison mushroom and shrunk along with Dimentio. Jack frost immediately leaped into Jack rippers arms in fear of being so much smaller. Pyro jack groaned, grabbing them both and throwing them into the dodongo's mouth and following them. "Oh wow, its dark in heere-ho!" Jack frosts aid, Pyro jack turning  on his lantern to better help them see there way inside of the beast.

Jack ripper didn't waste any time, about to start stabbing at the walls of the king dodongo. Pyro jack grabbed him by his shirt, sighing as if he was the care taker for the two trouble making demons.
