"It shouldn't be much longer before we reach the woods." Impa said as the trees started to become a thick forest.
"How are we even gonna tell if this resistance leader is in fact Princess Zelda?" Kendo asked.
"Nu doesn't really know. Because Nu thought that Zelda was captured in the battle at Hyrule." Nu suggested.
"She was only reported to have disappeared. That doesn't necessarily mean she's been captured. Spade, on the other hand…" Kaede said.
"Let's not worry about that right now. We should focus on bolstering the defenses of this place." Sachiko said.
"Wait...I think I see something." Tulip said seeing an army of soldiers fighting monsters and dragons as a blue haired sorceress was busy healing and defending.
"Do you think she's the leader of the resistance here?" Saaya asked.
"Most likely, and that means we should help her out." David said.
"Yeah, let's go." Ace said as the group went to help defend the forest as large plants popped out of the ground spewing purple mist.
"Whoa!" Kendo said rolling out of the way. "Everyone, don't breathe that in! Those plants are spewing poisonous gases!"
"Archers! Ready your bows. We need some pest control." Connor said.
"Taking Aim!" Selena said as she changed Lexida into the Diamond Dust Bow.
"You know, there are better archers here." Teba said as he and Vera fired at some of them.
"Wait, I'm here too!" Rarity said.
"Don't even try leaving me out." Niles said.
"Ready everyone?" Selena asked.
"Yeah. Let's do this!" Takumi called.
"Fire!" Selena called out.
A hail of arrows from all the Hero Alliance's archers rained down as the mutant Deku babas were torn apart.
"Amazing…" The blue haired girl said.
"We figured you could use some help with those plants. Are you the one in charge here?" Connor asked.
"Yes. My name is Lana. I'm a sorceress." The girl said. "You know the one who started this war? Cia? We come from the same magical clan."
"So...no Zelda?" Asta asked.
"I'm afraid not." Lana said.
"Well, in any case, at least this place is cleared of the Deku Babas." Vera said.
"And it looks like we have one more problem to deal with, look!" Saki said pointing to Wizzro with an army of monsters in the distance.
"If we can help you drive Wizzro and his Army back, will you tell us what you know about this 'Cia'?" Impa asked.
"Yes, if you help me defend the forest, I might tell you what you need to know." Lana smiled as she ran off as the others joined her.
"Ook ook! Yeah...you people sure are having fun." A voice said as a large monkey with long arms stood above them.
"You again?" Leia asked.
"So, it is you." Reshiram said.
"Monferno!" Braixen said.
"It's Infernape now! A proud general of Dragnor!" He said.
"First you side with Poison types, and now you side with Drake, eh?" Hope asked.
"Hah! Golbat didn't recognize my usefulness by making me a prison guard. Lord Drake however, knows a strong soldier when he sees one!" Infernape said.
"You weren't exactly a good prison guard either." Sachiko said.
"Shut up! So I'm not as great as the new guy in Cia's army. No matter...I can still do this." Infernape said breathing fire onto the tree.
"Oh no! The Great Deku Tree!" Lana said.
"Hahahahaha! How do like that, you idiots?!" Infernape called.
"Stop this, Infernape! Reclaiming the throne you stole from me isn't worth all of this." Reshiram said.
"You all robbed me of my throne! But when this war is over, I'll have it back soon enough. Have fun burning to death!" Infernape said before running off.
"He's completely lost it…"
"If we don't put out this fire soon, we'll be out a main base." Ty said.
"Wait a minute… I feel the presence of the Great Fairy! She can help put this fire out!" Proxi called.
"That's right. If one of us can pray to her, she can cause a rainstorm that can put out this fire." Leonora said.
"I think I saw a temple further in the forest. It isn't too far." Lacy said.
"I'm on it!" Erica said going for the temple as she fired her Machine guns to clear a path.
"Cover Erica, guys!" Hope said.
"~You are the Ocean's Grey Waves~." Azura sang as she launched a small tidal wave at a group of monsters.
"Out of the way!" Zephyr said firing in midair to cover Erica from above.
"Begone!" Altera yelled as she unleashed her Space-Time Distortion wave at a group that was behind Erica.
Erica soon reached the temple as she prayed. "Oh great goddess….please help us." Erica said as the great fairy rose from the waters. With a wave of her hands, several fairies went and gathered clouds to create a large rain cloud that started pouring down on the tree, extinguishing the fire. "It worked." She said before another light shined. Appearing from it was a fish like creature wielding a trident.
"Ah...the call of the sea…" He said.
"Neptunemon." Marsmon said.
"It is good to see you safe." Tsuki said.
"Same with ye, young lass." Neptunemon said.
"Well...this was a surprise." A voice said as they turned to see a lizard like creature with a plant like tail behind them.
Dragnor General
Sceptile
"You…" Tsuki said. "Who is he?"
"Sceptile. He's a general from Dragnor." Zoro said.
"Well, you all saved me the trouble of hunting all of you down." Sceptile said ready to pounce.
"Talk about an ego." Kagura muttered.
"It's no ego, I assure you. Its pure skill." Sceptile said with his leaf blades at the ready.
"If we waste time with this guy, Wizzro's gonna escape." Leo said.
"I'll handle this." Flamberge said.
"Careful Flamberge. You may have the type advantage but that matters very little to these kingdom guys." Hope said.
"I know. That won't stop me though." Flamberge said drawing her sword. "You wanna know what burns me up the most? Egomaniacs like you who think you can win from the get go."
"That must've been how she felt when we fought Hyness." Francisca said.
"Indeed. But I know that this fight will be Berge's chance to shine." Zan said.
"Oh...a chance to shine is it?" Sceptile smirked as he held out a stone. "Beyond Evolution! Mega Evolve!" He said before encasing in a sphere and emerging with a longer tail and sharper leaves.
'Okay...this might be harder. Whoa!" Flamberge said quickly blocking a cutting attack. "Go! Now!" she shouted.
"Good luck, Flamberge! Roast this guy!" Connor called.
"Not literally, though. We don't want this place to burn up again."
"I'll try not to leave any scorch marks." Flamberge said as she clashed her sword with Sceptiles Leaf Blade.
"Your swordsmanship is good...but not enough for this." Sceptile said as he fired his tail as it moved like a missile.
"Uh oh…!" Flamberge said running from the tail missile before skidding to a halt and igniting her blade. "Hah!" she called with a powerful slice, cutting the missle tail in half.
"Argh! My tail!" Sceptile said.
"Heads she wins! Tails...you lose!" Al said.
"That's not funny!" Sceptile said.
"You're not gonna find this funny either!" Flamberge said summoning five swords in the air as they rained down in front of Sceptile in a circle. "Fire Pillar Prison!" she called as the swords made flame pyres erupt, trapping Sceptile.
"Nicely done, Berge. And it sounds like Link and the others managed to finish up as well." Zan said.
"If that's true, why is the forest still shaking?" Flamberge said before something large appeared near the Deku Tree. A large spider like creature.
Arthropod Cyclops Monster
Gohma
"It's a Gohma!" Hope said.
"Kya hahahahaha! This is my ace in the hole! Destroy them, Gohma!" Wizzro said as he vanished.
"Damn it, he's gone!" Vashyron siad.
"We'll worry about him later. Right now we have stop this thing!" Aya said. "The Eye has to be his weak point. Aim for there after he attacks then go in for the kill."
"Got it." Vera said.
The Gohma fired a laser from its eye and it glowed blue as he was momentarily stunned.
"Fire!" Selena called out.
Vera fired a lightning arrow at the Gohma, stunning it.
"Here's our chance!" Arnice called out.
"Don't give it a chance to recover!" Lana said firing lightning from her spellbook at Gohma.
"It's over!" Selena called out as she summoned a glyph in the air and jumped off it as she flew and pierced the Gohma's eye with Lexida.
In a distance was Virizion as she saw the whole thing.
"Well...seems there was no need to interfere after all." She said.
"It has been a long time, Virizion." Reshiram said.
"You were aware of my presence the whole battle, weren't you?" Virizion said. "As expected."
"Forgive me. Ignis wouldn't have happened if I wasn't so careless." Reshiram said.
"Perhaps." Virizion said turning as she headed off. "Infernape is not a bad pokemon. He can still be saved." she said before vanishing in the trees.
"Hmm…" Reshiram was deep in thought as he descended back to the group. "Apologies for the wait, I was catching up with an old friend."
"It's alright. Though...it doesn't seem like Princess Zelda or Spade are here." Ryu said.
"Now...what were you telling us? About Cia?" Hope asked.
"Cia...it's the name of the sorceress who summoned all of these monsters." Lana said.
"I think it's time we met her personally. Where can we find her?" Ty asked.
"The Valley of Spirits. I can take you there, it isn't far." Lana said.
"Alright, lead the way Lana." Ace said. "(Spade…)". He thought as the group followed Lana to the Valley of Spirits.
