Professor Flynn led the trio to his home in the suburbs of Seaveiw. It was a modest condominium on the lowest floor of the complex with very little furniture or decoration. For reasons Connor couldn't comprehend, there was an elevator in the middle of the first room. Flynn rushed the trio into the elevator and pushed a button marked with the whole Triforce.
Connor, Kyra, and Ethan were rushed into a room with a statue of the Triforce and a mural of a paradise kingdom. Flynn explained the mural was a door to the Sacred Realm, and the Statue was a keyhole with the Triforce as a key.
"In order to open the door, you have to grab your section of the statue with the hand that has the Triforce." Flynn said. Connor grabbed the bottom right triangle and realized, for the first time, that the mural had three representations of the goddesses Din, Nayru, and Farore. Din was obviously the flying ruby, the flying sapphire had to be Nayru, and the flying emerald was truly Farore. When Connor made contact with the Triforce, Farore started glowing.
Kyra then touched the bottom left Triforce and Nayru started to shine. Din lit up only when Ethan made contact with the top Triforce. When the goddesses were set alight, the door to the Sacred Realm opened revealing three swords. One was as long and jagged as barbed wire but twenty times as thick. It was double edge but it had a tsuba, a Japanese guard. Another had Greek style hilt and guard but was just thicker than a saber.
It was the sword in the middle that caught Connor's attention the most, however. It was about as long as his arm from tip to guard. The guard looked like a blue pair of wings. There was a diamond in the middle of the guard that looked to have the purpose of keeping itself from falling off. This sword was the Master Sword.
"Each of these weapons," Flynn said, "is the key to awakening your true power. After you have the power, you must find your strength and protect this world from Deman."
"Who is Deman?" Kyra asked.
"My guess is this Deman guy is the reason all we have left of Hyrule is the games." Ethan said.
"That's a simplified version of it but yes." Flynn answered. "Deman is Vaati's twin brother. An earth sorcerer, Deman is Vaati's total opposite and best advantage over the Hylians. When Vaati died, Deman took over and totally destroyed the world of Hylia. The Hylians were forced to evacuate to a new world, our Universia, or Earth."
"So we humans evolved from Hylians?" Connor summed up.
"Not quite," Flynn said. "We four are descended from Hylians, but as humans we didn't evolve from them."
"Where did humans come from?" Evan asked.
"Even I don't know."
"Why should we put ourselves in this danger?" Connor asked. He didn't wait for an answer. "Why did the Triforce choose us?"
"Because you are descended from the three Triforce wielders. Ethan and Connor you never knew your fathers. I could say the same for your mother Kyra. They left because they felt they could never make up for what they did to you. They fell in love with regular humans and gave birth to the first generation of Half-Hylians the world of Universia has ever seen."
"Professor Flynn, you're descended from the Sage of light Rauru, aren't you?" Kyra asked.
"No, I am Rauru. I am the Sage of Light."
"Where are Saria and the others?" Connor asked.
"That's an answer for another time" Rauru said. "Now, you need to draw the sword that corresponds with the Triforce in your possession."
Connor stood in front of the Master Sword, with Kyra and the Elven sword on the left and Ethan and the Ganon Sword on the right. They all grabbed the hilts and drew. The Ganon Sword lit up with a red shine, the Elven Sword glowed with a blue light and the Master Sword shone with a green glow. The lights got so intense that they couldn't see the swords anymore, and when the light faded the swords had become rings on their fingers.
"In order to awaken the power in the Hylia Rings, you have to say this phrase exactly," Rauru explained. "' Power of Hylia! Awaken within me!' This will awaken the power of your bloodline."
Connor decided to try it out. He flashed his ring, "Power of Hylia! Awaken within me!" and the transformation began. He felt a palpable power flow through him and a green light enveloped him. His clothes felt heavier before the light around his head and feet finally faded.
The only one not surprised and/or blushing (Kyra) was Rauru.
"Dude, Look down." Ethan said. Connor did as he was told and saw why there was extra weight to his clothes. He was wearing the green tunic, chainmail, gloves, off-white trousers and boots of the Hero of Time. He still had his brunette hair and green eyes, or so he was confirmed. He felt on his head the pointed hat of the Legend of Zelda's hero.
"Welcome back to the world of the living, Link." Rauru said.
"Let me try," Ethan said. "Power of Hylia! Awaken within me!" A red light surrounded Ethan and it finally faded around his head and feet. His clothes, cape and headpiece, made him look like the Lord of All Evil, Ganondorf. He had the black armor and cape, yellow Gemmed headpiece, and chainmail.
"My turn," Kyra said. "Power of Hylia! Awaken within me!" this time a blue light took Kyra's shape. Connor had only seen Kyra wear a dress once at homecoming. Now she was wearing a beautiful gown that made her look like a queen. It was purple from the waist up and white from the waist down with a flap in front that had the Triforce mark on it surrounded by wind. The Elven sword was at her side. She had pink, elbow length gloves and a golden crown.
"I extend a hearty welcome to Zelda and a reluctant welcome to Ganondorf," Rauru said as an alarm went off. "Not a moment too soon either, there's trouble in Central Park."
