Rika: Welcome back, y'all.
Previously, more filler were had, and LINO and Lita prepare to traverse through the Forest Temple. That's about it.
So let's continue with...
Chapter 7: Find the Fairy Bow
After they enter, Lita's amazed to the point where she...kinda notices that LINO's not there. She manages to defeat a couple mooks until he joins her again. They head to the main hallway, where they see four torches, all having strange-colored flames. That is, until the flames disappear, and enter the four Poe Sisters—Joelle, Beth, Amy, and Meg.
...
Is it me, or are they named after some of the characters from Little Women?
Oh, and it gets better. They manage to get the flames, saying that they will never get them back. O...kay. LINO tells Jupiter not to listen to them, and they realize that they'll need to solve the puzzles in order for the elevator to show up again.
By the way, the road to do this is boring as hell, so I'm sorry if I'm summarizing it all.
Along the way to the Poe Sisters, LINO and Lita face off against a Blue Bubble and later two Stalfos. They manage to curb-stomp them. After that, they find a treasure chest, and LINO finds a key, which makes Lita realize that there are a lot of locks to go through.
And so...
- After going through a door, they face the Skullwalltulas and later another Blue Bubbles. They find a map leading through the areas in the Forest Temple, and Lita keeps it near her.
- They then climb to a ledge, and LINO activates a switch. He then jumps down the damn balcony and survived the fall, for he landed by...tucking his head in and rolling forward. I'd have to think that shit would break your neck.
- Minutes after the well is drained again, they find another key, and they unlock a door. They solve a puzzle by pushing things. And we get this.
Lita: "I think… I need to work out more."
So says the person who once defeated some mooks even when powerless.
- Lita creates a warp point that's only known to LINO, and after seeing a chest hanging up on the wall, they find a painting of Joelle. We find out that she has a nasty trick: if she sees they're too close to the paintings, she'll vanish and reappear in one of the other three paintings. And they'll need to attack her from a distance.
- ...so that's where the Fairy Bow, the secret treasure in the Forest Temple, comes in. They'd only use if it they found it. What do you want to bet that it'll be oh-so-easy to obtain?
- Turns out that it exactly happens. After going down and curbstomping the Stalfos...
"BASH! They kicked him hard in the face from both sides which burst his head like a balloon, and the rest of him vaporized."
(Rika sports a very bug-eyed look)
What the hell, fanfic?
Anyway...the chapter ends with the duo finding the Fairy Bow at last. Oh, and LINO copies it. It's time to do battle with the Poe Sisters.
And speaking of...
Chapter 8: Defeat the Four Poe Sisters
We get a scene where the other Sailor Scouts beat the shit out of the mooks. But there's just one teensy-weensy little problem. Whenever they die, they come back stronger. In the author's own words, "fresh as daisies", even.
(Rika facepalms over the statement)
Who the hell says that anymore?
Back in the Forest Temple, Lita and LINO shoot at the paintings, summoning Joelle. Oh, and she can't be looked in the eyes, because she'll vanish. And when they're invisible, they can still beat the everloving shit out of you.
So kinda like a Weeping Angel, only probably not as scary.
They don't look at her, and they dodge the blow she strikes. Why? Just because they shouldn't look at them, doesn't mean they can't hear them coming. That's...just...
Lita uses the Jupiter Thunder Crash attack, defeating Joelle and having the red torch light up. Oh, and you know about the warp point? They use it, and Lita creates yet another one. Lather, rinse, repeat.
They head to another room, eventually to the one where they would have to open up that treasure chest. And it turns out to be a special key. What a surprise.
So after beating the usual mooks, they now head to a room where Beth's located. They still remember to not look at the ghost, and...
- Lita: "Here I am, Little Girl-Blue!"Beth: "Bring it on me, Greenie-Meanie!"
...whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.
Oh, and better yet, Link curbstomps Beth by stabbing her with his sword. No surprises there. So not only are there two more Poe Sisters to go, but they obtained a compass as well.
Skipping the part where they solve yet another damn puzzle and beat mooks, they head to Amy's room. Oh, and before I snark over how it's another lather-rinse-repeat sort of thing, this is different. For they would have to solve a huge-ass puzzle within a minute.
- Lita: "Oh, wow this hurts! It must be like a woman having a baby!"
(Rika drinks)
Seriously, can this fanfic get any more fucked up with the way people are talking?!
So after solving the puzzle, Amy uses her spinning attack, and Lita and LINO decide to tire her out. And then they curbstomp her. But they soon realize that they seem to be pretty well done with the—oh, wait. Turns out that the last Poe Sister is in the fucking main hallway.
Who would have thought?
Meg is mourning over the loss of her sisters, and upon finding the duo, she puts on an evil face and makes clones of herself. Lita tries to strike them all, but to no avail. They try to figure out until Lita notices something. One of the four was able to spin. The others do not.
Wait, how the shit would she know about that? And I thought that if she makes eye contact, they would vanish?
And so, the chapter ends with Lita using her forest razor leaf attack at Meg, defeating her once and for all.
- Meg: "You have done the impossible! You have defeated the four Poe sisters, but be warned of our Master… he shall avenge our destruction A-THOUSAND FALLS!"
(Rika is unimpressed)
Really?
- Diabolico: "You have done the impossible.. you've defeated the mighty Diabolico! But be assured that Queen Bansheera will avenge my defeat a thousandfold!"
Just fucking really?!
(Rika relaxes)
Okay, Rika...hopefully that will be the only thing that's ripped off from your favorite series. Calm yourself down, girl...
So after...that happened...they complete one final puzzle, that of the rotating rooms. They solve it, and they realize one thing. There are no more obstacles. It's time for the final showdown for this temple.
(Rika sighs)
God. I didn't think it would be this boring as hell. So join us next time as we complete this chapter and strike down another filler chapter.
The light of the moon is the message of love. So find out next time on the next Rika Liveblogs Vs. Sailor Moon Legend of Zelda!
