Vaati and Dark Link exit the archery building and walk to the graveyard. When they enter, they spot Lila standing outside the Shadow Temple with her back to them.

"Excuse me," Vaati calls, "it's very rude to ignore your guests."

Lila turns around and crosses her arms, saying nothing.

"Oh, right, phase two is progressively in motion."

Lila then smiles, "that's amazing!"

"Are you sure you're alright with this Lila?" Dark Link worried.

"I'm positive," Lila reassured him. "I trust you guys."

"You heard her," Vaati nudges Dark Link with a smirk, "she trusts us."

"I guess," Dark Link sighed, "alright let's go."

Lila reveals a staircase to the guys that leads up to her and the Shadow Temple.

"Shall we?" Vaati asks as they reach the Temple's entrance.

"Yes," Dark Link nods in reply.

The three walk up and into the Shadow Temple.

"Wow," Vaati exclaims, "it's really dark in here."

"Well, I can see perfectly," Dark Link smirks.

Sighing, Lila pulls out an oil lantern and lights it.

"Here," she says, handing the lantern to Vaati.

Taking the lantern Vaati exchanges a smug look with Dark Link's scowl.

"Now," Lila says without looking at them, "when we reach the sealed door, Vaati, you'll have to turn off the lantern. Don't worry, once I open the door, light will enter the temple."

"Then we'll go into the boss chamber," Dark Link continues, "we'll beat the boss and you'll  be a fully-powered sage Lila."

"Then we'll pretend to hand her over to Ganondorf," Vaati concludes, "but really we'll let her leave, he'll fire us, and then we'll all live in the graveyard, waiting for the Hero of Time."

"Here we are," Lila proclaims.

Vaati turns off the lantern and he and Dark Link step back. Lila places her hand on the door. A purple symbol lights up where Lila placed her hand. The symbols spread our from the center as Lila took her hand away from the door. Soon, the door was enveloped in a purple light. Opening slowly Lila steps back by Vaati and Dark Link as a flurry of light emits throughout the Shadow Temple.

Vaati is the first one to enter the chamber, waiting at the pit for the others, "Is this safe?"

Lila doesn't respond, she simply jumps down the pit. Dark Link only shakes his head at Vaati before following Lila down the pit.

"So it's safe then?" Vaati calls down to them before he hesitantly jumps.

They land safely on a boat that would lead them to the boss, even though they can hear the boss thrashing around.
