However, all four of the Links have been knocked out, and a strange book lies before them. What will they do with it? What will happen to the girls? Find out in this next chapter! Let us begin!

Chapter 4: A New Adventure Begins!

A groan came from one of the four Links, the one in red. His rosy eyes slowly fluttered open completely, then he winced at the pain in his head. He grabbed his head and felt warm liquid… Blood. He brought his hand down and looked at the small stains of blood on his hand. Then poor Red looked at the others, his eyes darted from Blue, to Green, to Vio. With tears threatening to pour down his cheeks, he shook all of them, saying each of their names.

"…Een! Green…! Get up, please!" Green heard.

After a few shakes from his red comrade, Green's eyes fluttered open slowly. When his jade green eyes were half opened, he looked at Red. He sighs, knowing that the smallest and youngest Link is okay. Red, like he would do, hugged Green very tightly. Red starts going on and on nonstop about how he thought they were dead and how he's so happy they're not.

"Woah, settle down! Don't kill me!" Green jokes, making Red instantly let go at the words "kill me"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" He apologizes quickly. Green laughs and pats his head gently. He then looks around for any sign of danger… None, thankfully. He then spots his fallen alter egos: Blue and Vio. His eyes grow wide and he and Red crawl over to them slowly, due to their pain. Green shakes Vio and Red shakes Blue.

"Vio, wake up… Vio…?" Green whispers into Vio's ear.

"Bluuuue~ Wakey wakey~!" Red asked sweetly, making Green look over to him with a "what the hell" face. Red looks at Green and shrugs, then goes back to his shaking Blue to wake up. After what felt like a few minutes of continuous shaking and calling his name, Blue woke up.

"Shut…Shut up, Red… God damn you are so annoying sometimes…" Blue muttered quietly. His eyes opened, and he looked at Red. He then shoved Red to the side, but not a lot of force was used on his red comrade. He grabbed his head, wincing from the massive amount of pain. "Ugh… my head… what in Din's name happened here?"

"Well, all I remember is Vaati hitting you, me, Green, and Vio on this wall… Then I don't remember anything except for someone yelling about something never to be forgiven…" Red reminisces. He looks as though he is looking into dead space. Blue hits him lightly on the back of the head to snap him back to reality. "Ouchies… sorry, Blue."

"Whatever… Hey, where's Vio, anyway? Shouldn't he be planning some escape route or something?" Blue asks. He looks at Green, expecting an answer. He then quickly gets impatient and gets up to walk to Green, when he sees the purple clad hero still unconscious. "Oh HELL NO!"

"He's not waking up!" Green yells.

"I'll take care of that" Blue quickly replies, rolling his sleeves. His smile becomes more like a smirk. He gets right next to Vio's ear and takes in a deep breath…

"HEY VIO! GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP, NOW!"

"GAH!" The unconscious Vio soon quickly opened his eyes, sitting up abruptly. He places his hand over his poor and sensitive ear, rubbing it due to Blue's scream. Blue starts laughing his head off, rolling on the floor. Vio, after regaining his senses, glared at Blue. Despite the glare burning through Blue's head in Vio's mind, he still kept laughing. Red then spotted a strange book, lying open on the floor.

"Hey, Vio. Isn't that your book? How come it's open?" Red asks the violet hero. Vio stops glaring at his laughing comrade and looks to where Red seemed to be pointing. He saw his book, opened to a page… A peculiar page. Vio slowly crawled up to the book, picking it up.

"Ugh… Vio this is NOT the time to be reading your stupid book! We not only have to save one, but four damned princesses!" Blue yelled. Vio completely ignored him as he quickly scanned the page. He slowly rose to his feet, not taking his eyes off of the book. Blue, quickly getting angry, walked up to Vio. However, his leg stopped him from doing so, causing him to yelp at the sudden pain. He got down, holding his shin. He then looked at his shin, seeing a big gash on it. "STOP READING, DAMN IT!" He yelled.

This time, Vio whispered quietly, as if voicing his thoughts, "This... This isn't my book..." He finished scanning and looked to his comrades with wider eyes than normal. The other three looked at each other, then back to Vio with worry. Vio slowly closed the book and stashed it in his violet cap. He then closed his eyes, deep in thought.

He then reopened his eyes, ready to explain what he read.

Everything.

"This is no ordinary book." Vio stated. "It's called the 'Light Prophecy', as it says inside the cover. It's texts are Ancient Hylian, but read in the oldest tongue. We need someone to translate this if we can get anything out of it." He shook his head, trying to process what the legend meant.

"Something Vio doesn't know. Vio doesn't know something. Now all hell's frozen over." Blue remarks, wide eyed and amazed. Oddly, Vio doesn't make his trademark remark, or even smirk for that matter. Instead, he places his hand on his chin, in deep thought.

"Oh well, guys. Until Vio finds something out, we need to get on the road. We need to find out where the two shadows and Vaati took the girls." Green states as he points to a broken window leading to a leaning pillar. The pillar was a great way for the Links to make it back to land safely, and to start their search for the four girls of the elements.

They get on the pillar, Vio still lost in his thoughts, Red holding his fire rod in his left hand instead of his sword, Blue holding his hammer, and Green looking out for any sign of danger. With no danger ahead of them, they walk down the leaning pillar to the sturdy earth below. When they reach the earth, something catches Vio's attention away from his thoughts. He then stops walking. The others soon realize and stop, looking behind at the violet Link.

"Hmmm… I hear something" Vio whispers to himself, not knowing that the others can indeed hear him. He then hears footsteps and pulls his sword right out of it's sheath.

"Ahh! Do not hurt me! Please, four heroes!" A female voice called out.

Vio, however, did not put the sword down. If the person, or whatever it was, didn't show itself, he'd have to go find it. The other three Links slowly and almost silently took out their swords. Red was shaking in fear, but Green and Blue did anything but. Vio tried to listen closely, but nothing was heard… Until…

"Please don't hurt me! I swear I am of no threat! I only wish to aid thee on thy journey!" The voice said.

Vio was the first to lower his sword. "Who and what are you?" He asked, more like yelled, actually. He looked around, cautious for anything to pop out at him. The footsteps came closer and closer, louder and louder. When he finally saw where the voice came from, he couldn't believe his eyes. Neither could his four copies.

It was an oversized, violet, cowering… bird.

Its beak was golden and huge, about the length of a large tree's trunk. The wings were about twice or three times that length. Its perfectly violet plumes had their ends in a perfectly pure white, with little blue ends. Its eyes were a greenish-blue. It had some sort of design in the center of its two eyes… Mainly a swirl.

"W-What are you?" Green asked. Blue was too shocked to ask, much like Vio. But Red had a completely different view of the gargantuan, but beautiful creature.

"It's a birdie!" Red cheered, running up to it and giving it a great big hug. This made all the other Links sweat drop, filled with fear and worry for the small hero. The bird wrapped a protective wing around Red.

"No need to worry, four heroes of the accursed sword. I am Sacrane, and I am what people of the skies call a 'loftwing'" Sacrane says. She takes her wing off of Red as he releases her. "Long ago, people lived only in the sky, so they needed to get to other places safely. So we were created by the goddesses and given to certain children when they came of age."

"Yes, but, did they have the power of speech before? I've never seen a talking bird before." Vio says.

"No, I am the only one."

"A-ah… O-Okay I see it… K-Kinda"

Sacrane fluffs her wings slightly, then remembers what she was supposed to tell them. "Listen. My mistress and her friends were taken far from here; you must save her and her friends! I saw where-" She was cut off by the usually annoyed and angry voice of Blue.

"Ugh, a SIDE QUEST? Are you KIDDING ME? We already have to save not one, but four princesses!" Blue shouted. He was very, very tempted to swing his hammer at the bird.

"Ahem. I was speaking." Sacrane said, glaring at Blue. Blue eventually shut up, crossing his arms and pouting. Sacrane continued, sighing, "The girls that I'm talking about are named Emerald, Sapphire, Ruby, and Amethyst. I am extremely sure you four know of them." The four Links directed their attention to Sacrane immediately as each girls' name was called.

"Yeah, we're lookin' for 'em. But where they are we're not sure…" Green said to the majestic bird. Sacrane nodded, understanding the situation.

"That is why I came. I do know where they are. However, I couldn't muster up the courage to help my mistress and her closest friends. So I searched for you four and came here." Sacrane explained.

"So… What do we get for helping some four damsels in distress?" Blue rudely asked, earning a glare from Green and Vio.

"Oh, they are anything but ordinary 'damsels in distress'. The thing is, they actually have some power, but only when they show extreme emotion. They can control their kingdom's element." Sacrane continued. "Emerald controls the Earth, Ruby controls the Fire, Sapphire controls the Water, and Amethyst controls the Air."

"Looks like Vaati's got a rival…Hopefully he won't get too annoyed at the fact that he will get beaten by a girl at his own element." Green remarks, smirking. Blue guffaws and Red giggles slightly.

"Well, that just puts her in more danger, now." Sacrane points out. Vio nods, while everyone else shuts up.

"So… How are we exactly going to get there?" Green asks.

Sacrane opens up her wings slightly, hinting at the fact that she will fly them there. Vio sweat drops, but knows he has to do it. Red cheers and pulls a cursing Blue. Green hops on the bird first, then Vio behind him, then Red and Blue.

"You ready?" Sacrane asks. The only answer from one of the four Links is one simple "YES!" while the rest stay quiet. Sacrane decides it's enough, and starts to run. The four Links each hold on to the one in front or on the bird's neck, and keep their hats on. The bird kept running until she got a perfect speed, and then flapped her long wings to elevate them all. They eventually reached the sky and she stopped flapping her wings intensely. Instead, she let herself and the four Links glide across the sky and clouds gracefully.

"Yay! We're flying!" Red cheers.

"I can't believe I let myself succumb to this…" Vio mutters to himself.

"ARGH-I-HATE-THAT-I-LET-YOU-GUYS-TALK-ME-INTO-DOIN G-THIS-" Blue shouts… and doesn't stop either.

"Well… at least she knows where she's going…" Green says to himself.

They continue to glide across the air, heading for the destination.

To Vaati, Shadow, and Samantha.

To the girls.

Wow! The Links are flying on a loftwing! A special one at that. Now, with the weird book Vio has called the Light Prophecy, the Links set off to get the girls back! Will they succeed, or will the same happen again?

Find out in the next chapter! For now, I must bid you adieu!
