Sic Parvis Magna

Sic Parvis Magna is the pilot episode of Heart of the Hero. The episode focuses on the formation of the Knights of Order, as the Lord of Chaos declares war on the Master of Order.
==Plot==
Beyond the universe, all universes, there exists two eternal beings, the Master of Order, and the Lord of Chaos. 
Together, they watched over all life, but never interfered, that is until the Lord of Chaos saw fit to overthrow the Master of Order, and make her way the way of All Things. 
With the balance of existence shifted into the favour of chaos, things bode ill for the beings that inhabit the multiverse.
The bad guys get the upper hand, and the heroes lose. This is not the way things should be, the world is wrong, and the Master of Order can't control his sister's power anymore. So, in a night of great consequence, in the world beyond worlds, the Master of Order summons his emissary of many years to his domain, as he is under a direct attack from the Lord of Chaos, and her newly formed team of minions. The once peaceful domain of the Master of Order had darkened into a pitch-black realm, difficult to traverse.
Existing on this plane as a mere star spirit, Order's emissary can't directly assist his Master, as a being of light, he creates a flash bang, and temporarily blinds everyone in the room. 
The light intensifies, the Lord of Chaos' group of minions are revealed to be the union of Ganondorf of Hyrule, Reala of the Night Dimension, Doctor Neo Cortex of N. Sanity Island, and a being not seen in many years. The emissary of the Lord of Chaos herself, Dimentio.
The light fades, the star spirit, and the Master of Order are nowhere to be seen. While the Lord's minions are furious they got away, the Lord of Chaos, for the first time in her life, is calm, and claims that He always comes back. Meanwhile, not too far away, the star spirit, and the Master of Order reconvene. 
The Master of Order desperately tries to explain the origin of the Lord of Chaos' madness and betrayal, all rhetoric as far as he is concerned. The Master pleads to his emissary to find the seven destined heroes from across the multiverse.
The Master leaves his emissary with some parting words, reaches out his hand, and its light fills up the entire world for miles, as Ganondorf arrives behind the Master. He casts a spell and paralyses the Master, he falls to his knees, in a puff of greenish-black smoke, the Lord of Chaos appears, and steps over the Master, stamping her foot into his chest. Sarcastically telling Ganondorf off for being impatient.
The Lord of Chaos dismisses her agents, after feeling a slight shift back into the favour of Order, she tells them to return back to their respective worlds, and begin preparing them to be conquered, by first taking care of the resident hero of the realm. In a puff of greenish-black smoke, they were gone.
The star spirit appears in a huge flash of yellow light in a land all too familiar. It looks around and recognises it is in the Mushroom Kingdom, surrounded by plains of green, and castles in the distance. 
The star spirit becomes drawn to a particular castle, and flies off into the its general direction. It reaches the castle doors, and notices a sign, with Hall of Fame carved into it. The star spirit wisps around the museum of heroes throughout the history of the Mushroom Kingdom.
It slowly circles a statue of a portly, mustachioed plumber, and zooms right into an old, dusty and dark room, that looks like it hasn't been visited in years. The star spirit looks around, and at the edge of the room sees a cloaked wooden doll on a shelf. The doll starts to vibrate, as the star spirit is pulled toward it, as if by an invisible force, the doll too starts to move. Faster, and faster, they race toward each other, and crash together in a mighty explosion of light.
The light fades, as the doll begins to glow. The limbs, torso, and head of the doll twist and contort slightly, as they grow larger. The doll stands up, at five feet tall, and opens its eyes. Geno walks among us once again.
Geno steps out of the castle and looks back to the biggest castle in the distance, looking back on his previous journey in this world, and quickly recalls what the Master of Order said about the seven destined heroes, images of such a group flashed through his mind. He reluctantly pulls out the jewel his Master gave him, and vanishes in a flash of light.
Meanwhile, back in the Domain of the Master of Order, the Lord of Chaos stands over her brother, whose body slumps over to his side. 
It's taken many long years, but I've finally done it... Brother. 
The Lord of Chaos continues to taunt her brother, kicking him across the place, and right into his would-be throne, cracking it slightly. The Master of Order lets out a short laugh.
The Lord of Chaos instantly appears behind him, demanding to know what he's up to. 
You told your little team of wannabe supervillains to go back to their worlds, to eliminate somebody, didn't you sister?' asked the Master of Order
That's correct, Brother, when they go back, they will dispense with any resistance they face. Then, I will rule them. Now what do you find so funny about that?
Haven't you noticed yet? Your loyal pet is still waiting for you. That jester.
What are you saying? Wh- Where is that little spec of light?! What did you do?! demanded the Lord of Chaos
It doesn't matter what you do sister, no matter how many people you add to your cause, I will be there to meet you directly. I've formed a little team of my own. They should be here shortly.
In the blackness of the Master or Order's corrupted domain, a blink of light was seen in the distance, the Lord of Chaos flew right toward it, but was blocked by a barrier of energy, behind it she saw Link, the Hero of Time, he looked around confused. 
He drew his sword once he looked up to see the Lord of Chaos, recalling his brief meeting with her back in Hyrule. Both were then drawn to the second blink of light, as Mega Man appeared before them, at first he looked up at the Lord confused, but then turned his Mega Buster onto Link, Link put up his shield.
Shantae appeared out of the third light, Ulala the fourth, and NiGHTS the fifth. The Lord of Chaos' anger grew, as the very resistance she intended to destroy stood before her. The sixth light blinked into existence, spewing up Crash Bandicoot, and his companion Aku Aku. Aku Aku got in front of Crash, sensing the evil coming from the Lord.
What did I tell you, sister? the Master of Order's voice could be heard back in the throne area. All of the heroes stopped, and drew their attention to the glowing, blue man in the distance. This is where we part ways.
The Lord of Chaos calmed down and floated back to the ground, in a meditative pose, she concentrated.
Meanwhile, in Hyrule, Ganondorf arrived back in front of the castle from the greena and black smoke cloud, ready to conquer it once again. He made his way into the castle town, as the townsfolk ran in fear at the return of the King of Darkness. 
Any resistance met by the guards was quickly dealt with, as Ganondorf merely raised a hand, and they were thrown back. Impatient with walking, Ganondorf glowed with a purple aura, rose into air, and rocketed forward into the castle courtyard, burning right through solid stone walls and stopping in the centre garden. 
Remnants of his fight with Link, and Zelda still remained, he looked around and saw no one. He teleported to the forest in search of the Master Sword, and its resting place, tearing through trees and wildlife until he found the pedestal, and nothing more. 
His fists shook in anger, as glowing purple light surrounded them, he fired dark magic blasts at the stone and anvil, blowing it to pieces. He knew then that Link had taken the sword, and left. Knowing what he did about the Lord of Chaos and her brother, which isn't much, he deduced that Link must have been spirited away by the Master of Order, and must be with him now. 
Ganondorf looked to the sky, and shouted for the Lord of Chaos to hear him, and take him back to the Master of Order's domain. His call was answered, and he was gone. Back in the Master's Domain, the Lord of Chaos got up from her meditation to meet Ganondorf, who had just appeared from a puff of smoke. 
He was gone, he even took the sword, like you said. He wa- Ganondorf cut himself off as he glanced behind the Lord of Chaos to not only see Link, but many other strange beings inside a semi-visible barrier. He lunged toward the barrier and punched it, cracks had formed.
Link jumped forward, sword drawn, the rest got behind him.
So, you made it back. The Princess asked about you. I had nothing to say.
Link lunged forward and hacked into the barrier with the Master Sword, a long cut had formed along the barrier wall. Ganondorf turned back to the Lord of Chaos.
What do we do now? They're all right here. Your brother is weakened, let's make our move.
No. We need one more. Somebody who knows dark magic. said the Lord of Chaos
I know it. I could bring Hyrule to the brink of ruin with my powers. said Ganondorf
I need somebody who can manipulate the forces of life and death, as a precaution.
The Lord of Chaos handed Ganondorf a rusted piece of gold, with a red jewel in the centre, taken from belt.
Take this, with it you can go back to the places I've been. Gather everyone, and meet back in my realm.
What are you going to do? asked Ganondorf
I'm going to find our last man.
Out of a blue flash, Geno appeared beside his Master.
Master, are you alright? I found the first six, I had to come back to check on you.
You got your old body back. I'm fine. You must hurry and find the seventh.
It's not safe to leave you here, my barrier will protect the six. You have to come with me. said Geno
The Lord of Chaos turned around, and saw Geno in the distance.
It's a risk, but maybe we could lure her to the place we're going to. said Geno
So that's it is it? You already know where the seventh is? Both mine, and yours. said the Lord of Chaos from across the room
A race then? Let us see who can find the seventh the fastest. taunted the Lord of Chaos
GO! 
The Lord of Chaos disappeared, leaving Ganondorf behind. Geno, and his Master then did the same to a place beyond.
That barrier won't protect you forever. said Ganondorf
I'm sorry, but what the heck is going on here? asked Shantae I was told by some talking doll that I'd be saving the world, or something, where am I, and who are all of you?
NiGHTS took a bow to the group. I am NiGHTS. I too was recruited by the doll, what about the rest of you?
Crash looked rather dumbfounded by the events of the day, until Aku Aku spoke for him.
The same for us, I am Aku Aku, and this is Crash.
Mega Man, Link, and Ulala introduced themselves one after another, and they all looked up at Ganondorf.
So, who's this guy? asked Shantae
I think you should be asking this young man, correct? He's someone you're familiar with? asked Aku Aku
Link nodded.
In a matter of time, I will return with powerful allies, your greatest foes, all of you. Together, we will defeat you once and for all.
Ganondorf held the red jewel, its aura surrounded him, and he disappeared. With him, the blackness of the Master's domain also disappeared.
Our greatest enemies... Together? said Shantae
Glad to know we're all on the same side... Right?
Indeed you are. said Geno's voice from up above, descending from a flash of light. When he touched ground, the barrier disappeared, and Sir Daniel Fortesque, of Gallowmere appeared from a blink of light.
What are we all doing here? Where are we? asked Mega Man
I'm sorry for the deception, my Master needs your help said Geno
...And, where is he? asks Aku Aku
He didn't return with me. I am certain he was intercepted by... Her
That reminds me, just who are you? asked Shantae
My true name would most likely be unpronounceable to you all. So, just call me Geno. I am known as the walker between the worlds, I, like my Master, have no Universe to call home.
Geno explains to the newly gathered Knights of Order that the Lord of Chaos, an ancient, and destructive being has rebelled against his Master, and built a team of their own nemeses. The Master of Order sees fit that these seven are the only ones who can defeat the Lord of Chaos' forces.
It was silent for a while. Until the others started to look around.
Where are our friends? asked Ulala
Well, your allies will be important in the coming fight, they'll support you in ways we cannot. We've got them here, in my Master's domain, from here, he can see every Universe, and everyone in it.
You can meet your friends later, for now, we have to prepare. Ganondorf will be back, with friends. We can't risk staying here, we have to find a neutral meeting place to face them. said Geno
Geno, and the Knights of Order make their way to the Master or Order's throne room, in the centre was a large crystal orb, with ten smaller orbs floating around it. Geno touched the biggest orb, and images of various unknown worlds flashed in front of them, including the worlds of the heroes.
Geno continued to scroll through different worlds until he came across what he believed to be a neutral world.
Here, this should do. Nobody's been around here in a while. said Geno
Geno turned to face the new team. This is what I've gathered you all for. You each faced down your enemies before, but never together.
They'll be able to follow us, so be ready.
Geno, Link, Mega Man, Shantae, NiGHTS, Ulala, Crash & Aku Aku, and Sir Daniel Fortesque touch the centre orb, and disappear. The newly established Knights of Order reappear in a place with many old, marble ruins across grassy plains. Thunder is heard, but no clouds appear in the sky.
Geno looks around nervously, as Ganondorf appears out a greenish-black smoke cloud, with him steps out Dr. Wily, Risky Boots, Reala, Evila, Doctor Neo Cortex & Uka Uka, and Zarok.
Dimentio appears from behind the group and jumps in front of Geno, the two meet face-to-face and ascend into the air. The Knights of Order stand to attention, and face the Agents of Chaos.
The battle lines have been drawn. Who will make the first move?
