In the lanes between, the three ships continued to follow after the wolf as it ran across the sky. As they flew across the sky, inside was a different story as Sunset looked at the Enma blade in her hands.

"Lord Enma's...Enma Blade." she said.

"You still have that thing?" Ladybug asked.

"Yeah. Enma isn't going to need it anytime soon. And I'm the only one who doesn't have a weapon to fight with." Sunset said. "Plus, it feels pretty good to wield this thing."

"It also feels great to get away from Springdale again." Jibanyan said.

"Feels good, doesn't it? Thanks for coming back on the teams, guys." Hope said.

"Of course, y'all treat us like family, so we do the same. Plus seeing other worlds is pretty fun too." Komasan said.

"Oh, and I got us a new full time yo-kai member! Check it out!" Jibanyan said as Shogunyan walked in.

"Shogunyan? Well this is a surprise. You're the last one I expected." Sunset said.

"I had hoped to join your crusade sooner, but there were circumstances. But that does not matter now." Shogunyan said. "I follow you forever and ever."

"Indeed." a voice said as flying in was Robonyan F.

"Robonyan too?" Sunset asked.

"Yes. That transformation I had experienced during the final battle with Whaleman has shown me I can still go further. I am more than happy to follow you." Robonyan F said.

"How about that? All three members of the Nyan-Nyan all stars together with us." Rainbow said. "Couldn't ask for three of the most reliable cats in the house, huh Jexi?"

"Very true. Though I wish we wouldn't use terms like full time around here." Jexi said. "More importantly...where the heck the wolf is leading us."

"Strange. I'm getting some temporal readings. Looks like it may be a time rift." Twilight said.

"Time rift?" Leia asked.

"Yeah, sometimes we go into worlds that span different timelines." Jexi said. "We had a saga surrounding it. Hmm. Strange, the place the wolf is leading us seems to be Hyrule."

"Oh. You know what this means guys…" Hope said.

"Yay! We get to see Link again!" Pinkie said.

"You guys seem to like this Link guy a lot." Zelos said.

"He used to be one of the members of Jexi's team for quite some time. They met him on Pit's world." Lacy said.

"Yeah, but he left to enjoy his childhood after the events with Termina and Majora's mask." Maka said.

"But Hyrule spans several timelines, doesn't it?" Jude asked.

"Yes, so the Link we'll meet might not be the one we know." Sheena said.

"I wonder which era the wolf is taking us too?" Sunset asked.

"We've already been to the Hero of the Wilds and Majora's Mask era, so my money's on Hero of Twilight." Indigo said.

"Yes. That seems plausible. The era has previously mentions of wolves." Robin said.

"So in a way, we could end up seeing Midna again." Lucy said.

"And Zant, let's not forget about him." Yumi said.

The ships blasted out of the time rift. The wolf was nowhere to be seen, but they did find themselves in a whole different Hyrule.

This Hyrule, from what was described in the history books, was definitely the era of the Hero of Twilight. Everywhere you looked, it looks dark and dreary with large spheres of darkness surrounding sections of the land.

"Hah, i was right!" Indigo said. "Though this is my first time seeing the Twilight Era Hyrule, and man is it creepy."

"It was one of the darkest times in Hyrule's history. This was when an artifact, the mirror of Twilight, was used as a gateway to the Twilight Realm. It was used in order for the mad king, Zant, to enter Hyrule and take it order, bathing the land in patches of Twilight." Robin said.

"We remember. It was one of the eras involved during the War Across the Ages. We ladies battled Zant and his forces and defeated him." Nami said.

"With some...ahem...minor assistance from sanji." Lucy said.

"I had to run in. You guys were being smoked by Hydreigon and of course I had to defend your honor." Sanji said.

"Well now it's our turn to protect you. We're not gonna let your soiled Vinsmoke blood get in the way of letting you stay with us. We're crashing that wedding and beating Big Mom's fat ass!" Natsu said.

"Uh...I believe the first part but not the second." Jexi said. "Weird, feels like someone else said that somewhere else in the worlds."

"Please, even you couldn't lay a scratch on that woman." Pedro said. "I know from experience."

"We know Pedro, you tried to attack her yourself." Lacy said.

"All it ended up was costing me my crewmates, my eye and fifty years off my lifespan." Pedro said.

"So why help us derail Sanji's big wedding day with Pudding and join our team even though you've failed to dethrone her before?" Erza asked.

"The Road Poneglyph is the only reason. Plus, I do have business with Tamago. I'd like to at least kill him before I die." Pedro said.

"Road Poneglyph? Sounds like something Robin is after." Hope said.

"Yeah. They are four red poneglyphs that will give you coordinates on the exact locations of Raftel, where One Piece is." Nami said.

"And there was one in Fishman Island, right?" Hope asked.

"Uh...no. We were talking about the one we found in Zou. We know two others are in the possession of Big Mom and Kaido. Leaving the fourth still hidden." Nami said.

"And who's this Tamago guy?" Soul asked.

"Here's a picture." Pedro said showing a wanted picture of a tall man with long legs whose body was shaped like an egg.

"Eeesh. That guy's a real rotten egg." Rainbow said.

"Yes. He took my eye and I took his." Pedro said.

"And he was also my partner." Pekoms said dragging himself in.

"And another thing, i still don't see why we have to keep dragging him around. Are we keeping him as a hostage or what?" Hope asked.

"We need him to get into Totland when Bege comes for Sanji and we have to follow him." Nami said.

"Speaking of hostages, how are you feeling, Ramona?" Scott asked.

"I'm doing alright. I'm still not over Wolf and Dog taking me hostage last time we were here, but don't worry. They'll get what's coming to them next time we see them." Ramona said.

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Those guys drive me nuts." Ming said.

"Don't worry about them. I left them in the Lost Woods after we left. They're being watched by the Deku Tree and the Koroks as we speak." Shun said.

"Still, one of the many lessons in travelling across worlds is to always expect the unexpected." David said.

"So, now that we're back on the subject of Hyrule, where do we go from here?" Leia asked.

"Simple. We follow Link's bio signs." Hope said. "We do have that technology right?"

"Okay but you got lucky with that assumption." Jeremie said. "Hmm. He's in the south. Ordon Village in the Faron Region of Hyrule."

"So that's where we're headed." Luffy said.

They landed in faron woods in time to see green creatures taking children on pigback before they rode off with them, leaving a person incapacitated and looking familiar to the group.

"Link." Pit said.

"Those bokoblin have him, we gotta get in there and save him!" Nana said.

"Don't." Lucy said pointing ahead to the sphere of Twilight. "According to Midna, people can't enter that realm without turning into spheres of light."

"I wonder." Riku said as he stepped through the wall and was unaffected. "Seems it only applies to people who live in the light."

"But how… i...WHAT?!" Lucy said.

"Riku's a man of Darkness, Lucy. He's been in enough to survive it. As it is...he is the only one that can save Link." Ichiro said.

"Would it apply to Sectonia and Vera as well?" David asked.

"I'm not sure. Sectonia once descended to darkness just like Riku, but she doesn't necessarily have any dark power." Jude said.

"What about that form she got back in Hoenn?" Leia asked.

"If it's the form of her Mirror counterpart, then yes...it might work. As for Vera, she hasn't exactly done anything out of malice while working for Bisley." David said.

"Of course I didn't. I was his secretary, just doing my job." Vera said.

In the Twilight realm….

Riku wandered the realm for a long time before arriving at Hyrule Castle. Infiltrating the castle, he saw a wolf in a prison cell. "A wolf?" he asked jumping down before it as it growled at him. "Calm down. I'm on your side."

The wolf looked a bit uneasy, but stayed his hand, or paw. He then focused back on the chain, trying to release it by force. His ears then perked up, as someone was in the cell with him. It was, in fact, a small girl, no larger than the wolf itself. She smiled and jumped over to it.

"Hee hee hee! I found you!" she said.

"Something youre looking for?" Riku asked, making the girl surprised to see him.

"What in the…? A human? In the...oh. I see. You've been in the darkness." she said laughing.

"Black skin, yellow eyes, and hair in a ponytail. I take it you must be Midna." Riku said.

"How did you know who i was already?!" Midna asked in shock.

"Well, I haven't really met you, but I know some people who have heard about you." Riku said. "I've come to free this wolf."

"Funny, I was just doing that." she said snapping her fingers as the chain holding the wolf down broke off. "Tell you what, if he can get out of here, you can tag along while i tell him where we are."

"Deal." Riku said.

The Wolf himself had to have some way to escape, but he then sniffed the air before going to a dirt spot and tunneling his way out.

"Good, you aren't as stupid as I thought." Midna said getting on his back.

"You're gonna ride him?" Riku asked.

"I can't get around on these stubby little legs. And while I can float, this is more suited for me. Now march, wolf. I need to head to the tower." Midna said.

"I can think of one person you wanna see that involves a tower and Hyrule castle…" Riku said. "You're aiming to see Princess Zelda herself."

"Bingo! We're going to see her. The Twilight Princess." Midna said.

"By all means, show the way." Riku said.

"How kind for you. C'mon then, wolfy." Midna said edging the wolf on as he ran across the prison cells and catacombs.

"So what's your deal anyway? You smell like darkness, but you don't look taken over by it." Riku said.

"I'm a Twili. We are born in Twilight and live in darkness." Midna said. "And what about you? You dont seem like youre akin to taken over the darkness either. What, did you let it take over or something?"

"No. I accepted it." Riku said.

Midna sputtered a bit. "Real funny, kid! You don't just accept darkness like it's some cheap gimmick!"

"Its true. I have accepted it and I don't regret it. I walk a road to dawn." Riku said.

"Okay, so you're not joking. Hehehe. I could definitely use you." Midna said as they soon entered the tower where a figure in a cloak stood. "I have come."

The figure turned to look at them. "Midna?!" she said.

"Ah. Nice of you to remember my name...Twilight Princess." Midna said.

"So is this one who you have been searching for? He has lost his original form." she said.

"So you're saying this wolf… is Link." Riku said.

"No clue who that is but this wolf was definitely human before that fragment of the triforce changed him into this form." Midna said.

"I see. All because this once great kingdom was lost to darkness." the figure said. "The kingdom succumbed to Twilight yet I remain its princess." they said removing their cloak. Riku stared at the figure in shock. "I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule."

"Somehow, some way.. I am not entirely surprised." Riku said.
