Z + N: The hero has come! Showtime!

Summer vacation had been… hard.

Though he may have been pushing the students of Beacon ever harder in their lessons and earned their complaints many a time, it was still something that they had all come to enjoy. Unlike other lessons which, quite frankly, were just as boring as any other school you could go to, let alone a school dedicated to the eradication of monsters, Link's lessons were a chance to let loose and fight in a supervised manner and let out a little stress. Honestly, it reminded the Hylian of the various fumbles and mess ups that had occurred during Hyrule knight training when he was captain, a single mess up usually leading to a large brawl that had everyone laughing and nursing a few more bruises than they should have.

Come summer vacation however and everyone simply… left. It wasn't as if he was expecting anything different, naturally – everyone had lives and homes to return to, their entire being didn't just revolve around attending Beacon and doing nothing else. Link had believed that he would simply spend the time with Zelda and enjoy the various forests that were relatively close to Beacon; he had spent a large amount of time alone and Zelda's presence had always been enough to fill his time with joy. Link had spent his time with the princess and he had enjoyed it immensely, but there still seemed to be something missing… But what?

"Oh Link, you really do miss them don't you?" Zelda chuckled in response around her fruitcake, a sigh escaping the royal as they gazed out towards the sky. Their picnic had been going on for a while now, a peaceful silence only filled by the sound of Hylians eating – this was the first thing Link had said to her so far. "You've made a greater bond with your students that you realise, teacher. Have you noticed how much Ruby is like Yonei?"

Ah yes, Yonei… when Link had his memories of the time he was training the new royal knights returned to him, he had been flooded with names that seemed so foreign to him, yet the people were those he wished he would never forget again. Yonei had been the youngest of the knights, an energetic young man who, even knowing he couldn't succeed thanks to the girl's innate abilities, would still try to challenge her to a race. That kind of innocent purity was like Ruby.

"Isn't it? Well then, how about Ceelia?" the princess pushed.

A quiet, calm girl who had made every strike perfectly, obsessed with the idea of romance, expect she was going to be the knight in shining armour to save her prince in distress. Considering some of the books that he had seen Blake holding during her off time, hearing some of the mutters she made when she thought no one could hear her… yeah, the cat faunus was pretty similar to Ceelia.

And then there was Naylar, a really, really bad punmaker with the strength of a man about three times his size. Give him a couple gauntlets and he would be the perfect copy for Yang… maybe not the shotguns though. Naylar was clumsy enough to properly shoot down half the castle simply by accidently pulling his fist back. Once.

"Probably!" Zelda giggled, a finger finding its way to her chin. "I suppose that leaves Weiss… Well, if I find someone, then I'll tell you later. Anyway! My point is, you've bonded with them like you bonded with your knights. A captain without his knights is just a lonely man after all. You can't get rid of that ability to make bonds no matter how many years pass by."

That was true… how many friends had he made, even by accident (though he would naturally never admit it to any of them) simply by helping them out? Especially now that he was associated with princess Zelda, he had been working with a far greater number of people and he could honestly name a large amount of them and quite a few anecdotes they had told him during duty. That same instinctive charisma just so happened to be working in Remnant as well and absence makes the nose grow longer… or something to that effect.

"Don't worry yourself. After all, they've already returned, lessons start up again tomorrow, right?" Zelda added, Link giving a small nod. They had already seen a couple of those carriers flying through the air, they were carrying the students back into Beacon ready for the next term. In fact, it was because of that reason that they were outside once more – beyond Link's natural affinity for the wild, the canteen was packed and there was little reason to try and find some food when he knew he could produce something of better quality with a literal campfire and pot. "We can see if they're eating or something."

But a sudden rumbling around them caused the pair of blondes to suddenly turn their eyes forward to the rampage of students running away, stray words entering Link's ears causing the Hylian to immediately leap to his feet. A fight was occurring in the canteen?

"What? Link, wait!" Zelda called out, but the knight was already in motion, shield slipping onto his forearm as he dashed off. Link had always been far more physically capable than Zelda could ever hope to achieve however, meaning that no matter how hard she tried, she would never be able to catch up to the knight before he reached the canteen doors and threw them open. A pair of boys stood to the side were pushed aside with a silent apology as the warrior scanned the area, threats detected from all corners.

He wouldn't be able to pull out a weapon in time to stop the incoming projectiles, so instead he called upon the next best thing. Swinging with all of his strength and a powerful yell, a table soon smashed each of the items sent flying in his direction, a fierce kick helped along by the winds of a Rito sending it flying in the general direction of the attacker. When he sensed people striking from the sides, a pair of nearby plates were thrown with incredible strength, slicing through the very air with the speed they flew and rotated.

Link knew his enemy was unarmed – the only weapons they seemed to use was the food available to them within the canteen. That didn't mean the same courtesy would be returned by the blond boy, especially when a pair of turkeys started to fly in his direction. Such good food was quickly wasted when the Master Sword was forced to dirty itself by slicing them cleanly in half; if the goddesses were watching his actions, they would probably be appalled that their all powerful weapon was being utilised upon poultry of all things.

Letting out a silent groan when his next slice released all of the pressurised drink within a collection of cans sent in his direction, Link caught a glimpse of what appeared to be Blake battling against Ren of all people. No, that wasn't possible, they had been on good speaking terms at least when they left, there was no reason for them to be fighting outside of a sparring situation. Link couldn't dwell on the thought for too long however, for a breadstick slammed against the Hylian shield, barely a threat to the Master Sword as the knight whirled around and caught a glimpse of his opponent, the same opponent he nearly sliced in half without hesitation.

Ruby!?

"Link!? Whoa, whoa, stop! Food fight, this is not fair!" the scythe wielder whined, immediately throwing her hands in the air and dropping the half of a baguette she had been wielding as a makeshift weapon. Just what the hell was going on here, he was told there was a fight breaking out and as soon as he entered h-!

The knight couldn't drop his attention for a second, seeing as a giant squirt of ketchup of all things suddenly covered the floor, Weiss shooting past his position as if she was using one of her glyphs, a freaking swordfish of all things acting as her favoured Myrtenaster as she thrust out towards Jaune, the boy doing his best with a bread sword. Flipping away onto the wall, using stasis upon his shoes to keep him stood upon the vertical brick for a better view. Pyrrha placed her hand upon the ground, her energy moving through her surroundings, a magnetic field lifting up all of the cans that surrounded her from destroyed vending machines. As the giant wave of metal began to fly, Link let out a small growl escape his throat, the fierce captain of the royal knights coming out once more as he kicked off from the wall, sending himself flying right into the middle of the chaos.

This…

Was…

RIDICULOUS!

As soon as Zelda pushed her way through the doors, passing the shocked bystanders watching, the princess was greeted with a sight she had never expected to see. Winds lifted Link up into the air, Link holding on to the paraglider with a single hand as the other held on to a table, releasing the paraglider to fly off aimlessly while he struck downward with all of his might. In a second, all of the metal Pyrrha had been so carefully controlling was ruthlessly crushed beneath the weight of the table, Link on top of it as all fighting stopped. His words summed up the thoughts of many of the people watching, both Team RWBY and JNPR shrinking back at the sound.

What in the goddesses' names was going on!?

A food fight was meant to be a trivial thing. Though it didn't happen much do to the ire of their captain when good food was wasted, there were times where they broke out within the knights' dining hall and it was a fairly reasonable little bout to help improve their improvisation and dodging skills.

What had just occurred and what link had learnt from witnesses… it wasn't a food fight.

It was a food war.

If he was anyone stricter, they would probably be permanently banned from the canteen and forced to clean the entire mess with their own hands as well as the canteen for the rest of the school year. If it had been his own knights that had caused such a mess (and they would be utter fools to have ever done so), then it would be double.

But as it was… they were not his knights. These people had powers that went far beyond the capacities most people in Hyrule could even dream of. They had access to technology that would've caused a revolution in his home kingdom, their training honed skills that would've written legends. It was only natural then that they wouldn't hold the same restraints when it came to these sorts of thing – to the people of Remnant, attending one of the best huntsman academies the world had to offer, this was a small and simple bout.

That didn't mean they were getting out of cleaning the place up however.

At Link's orders, a low groan escaped half of the group, the others simply bowing their heads – as he had said before, they could've received far harsher punishments than what they had now after all. A content hum escaped the Hylian as the group started their work on trying to clean up the entire place without assistance, a rather notable feat that was bound to take a long time considering the sheer amount of mess they had manage to form. Ah, their complaints reminded him of the old days.

"Link, do you see that?" Zelda's voice brought him out of his stern persona, the knight looking to the window where the princess was standing. Unlike the other ships that had been coming to and from the academy, there was something far more ominous about the airships that flew down upon the port. If he strained his eyes, Link could tell the various odd items planted around the airships – weapons he was unfamiliar with. "Is this because of our battles?"

No doubt about it. If there was any other reason as for a sudden fleet of heavily armed vehicles being used to approach an area where a large threat was recently detected, then Link would eat one of the hats he owned. The only question was… would it end up being needed?

"You and I will head to the CCT and check the Schnee records for any other Dust robberies or inconsistencies. Seeing as I'm in the family, it shouldn't be a problem."

"The White Fang has regular faction meetings to hand out orders and recruit new members. If I can get in, I can hopefully find out what they're planning."

"I have an old friend on the shady side of town that typically knows everything going on in Vale. Getting information out of him shouldn't be too hard..."

"Great! We'll meet up tonight near Yang to go over what we found. Let's do this!" Ruby's cheer was interrupted by the sound of growing wind, a yell from outside causing the whole of team RWBy to glance out of the window to where a blue blur suddenly flew upwards. Naturally, the leader was the one who actually stuck her head out into open, watching in confusion as Link slowly began to flat down, the paraglider in hand as well as another body that the Hylian quickly threw. With a small yelp, the dark haired girl leapt back, avoiding the tumbling body of a blonde faunus and giving just enough space for Link to delicately slide himself into the room with far more elegance. "Ah, intruders! Team, at the ready!"

"Wait, Sun? Link!?" Blake gasped out, startled. Gently lowering her weapon, though not fully, the cat faunus gave a small hiss at the way Sun grasped the back of his head with an awkward chuckle. "What are you doing? How did you even get up here!?"

To be honest, Link had just been kind of passing by when he saw two people casually climbing on the side of the dorms. Of course that was incredibly suspicious, so he waited to see what they were doing, when it turned out they were spying on the team, he had to act.

"Yeah, you should've seen it! We were waiting and then all of a sudden this guy just jumps super high into the air with a gust of wind around him, it was amazing!" Sun praised energetically, not at all phased by the rather rough landing he had just been forced through before his face suddenly became a little bit sourer. "Wait, where's Neptune? He isn't going to want to miss out on taking down Torchwick and he was right beside me."

"Hey, guys?! Can you help me!?" sticking his head out of the window, sun couldn't help but let out a snicker, Blake too letting a small smile appear on her face when she caught a glimpse of the blue haired boy hanging limply from a tree. Try as he might, his arms simply weren't long enough to reach behind him and loosen himself, more than a couple people coming with their scroll cameras at the ready. Link just gave a small shrug.

Well, he only had so many hands and one of them had to hold on to the paraglider, he couldn't lift both of them into the room. Besides, it was safer than the ledge. Anyway, why was everyone sounding as if they were going to go on some major mission? There wasn't anything planned.

"Um, well… it's not like we were planning to do anything bad, right team?" Ruby muttered, receiving a group of rapid nods. Link could only sigh in response.

Okay, so nothing bad. Was it something against the rules?

"Er…"

"Look, Link. The White Fang's out there working with a human, a well-known dust thief Roman Torchwick." Weiss eventually broke with a roll of her eyes. If this stupidity carried on for any longer then they wouldn't be getting anywhere. "Thing is, Blake here believes that we're in a position in order to deal with them, or at least make sure we're aware of any attacks in the future and she's somehow managed to convince the rest of us. At the very least, we have a plan of action."

The White Fang, the anti-discrimination group bordering on terrorism… to say that a team of huntsmen were able to deal with them was a bold statement; saying that a team of huntsmen with only minimal training were trying to achieve the same feat? It sounded almost impossible. If they didn't have any help, then they would be done for.

"So does that mean…!?" Ruby asked with a growing smile, Link's matching hers.

Well, he couldn't exactly let them get off without a punishment. They could do this, but they would have to do a favour for him and Zelda, to be disclosed at a later period.

"Yes, sure!"

The plan was set: Link would go with Yang and Neptune in order to question Yang's… special friend, about any knowledge of what the White Fang were up to, Blake and Sun as faunus would attempt to infiltrate a White Fang meeting and Ruby and Weiss would make their way to one of the grand CCT information towers in order ascertain particular files from the Schnee company on dust robberies.

"But wait, what are we going to do about rides? My bike can only fit two." The blonde brawler pointed out as they prepared to separate, Bumblebee sitting proudly next to the road, raring to go. Link merely held up the Sheikah Slate with a nod, pointing it towards the tarmac and flipping through the various runes present within, his final rune burning to life with a power the knight still didn't truly understand. Where once, only empty air existed, blue energy wisps quickly began to spiral around one another, morphing and solidifying before a beautiful steed roared to life. The horn quickly took on a blue tinge as the armour surrounding it glowed with orange power, Link delicately stroking the side of its head before leaping onto the saddle and taking hold of the handles.

This… was the Master Cycle Zero.

And it had been an absolute pain to retrieve.

"It's… that's amazing!" Yang cried out as she immediately ran over to the motorcycle, running her hand along the cool metal that formed its body. "It's nothing like anything I've ever seen, this chopper looks like it could take on anything. Looking for a trade? I've been meaning to find some more horsepower!"

No time for puns Yang. It was time to get moving to wherever this 'friend' was meeting them.

"Fine, fine. Come on Neptune, it's going to be a bumpy ride."

"Um, can it not be a bumpy ride?" Neptune attempted to ask, hesitantly sliding himself onto the back of Yang's bike and holding on for dear life, two engines screaming out into the night as both Link and Yang kicked off. Of course it wasn't going to be a bumpy ride, not with the way that Yang was clearly pushing Bumblebee as fast as it could without being too reckless.

The thing is, Link wasn't exactly used to road speed limits. After all, the sprawling open fields of Hyrule didn't exactly warrant any sort of need for road control, Link possibly being the only one who could achieve the speeds that he could on the Master Cycle Zero. In the world of Remnant? There were hundreds, if not thousands of vehicles that could achieve the same feat. The Knight had the chance to face one of his most awkward challenges yet.

Traffic.

Or at least, he would have if Yang didn't make it a challenge. With nothing more than wink in Link's direction and Neptune's screams in her ears, Yang was zooming down the empty streets, Link's competitiveness rising to levels he hadn't felt in a while. The Master Cycle Zero was fully fuelled, there was nothing in order to restrain him; full speed ahead.

Naturally, it meant that they didn't take long before they reached their destination, Yang winning by the smallest of margins; that was mostly because Link still needed to watch the blonde in order to understand when to actually stop seeing as he wasn't aware of where they were going beyond 'Junior's'. While Yang was happily bolting down her bike and Link let the Master Cycle Zero fade away, Neptune was left to mildly slide himself off the bike, legs like jelly as he moved towards the doorway.

What was inside, Link had not been prepared for.

Yang had to punch down a couple of men hanging outside the actual doors, which immediately made the Hylian question just how likely the whole 'friend' idea was first of all, but the cacophony of noise within the actual building itself? It was horrendous. Even just the tiniest crack in the door before two more men tried to slam it shut hurt his ears, the sound left echoing inside his head. Unfortunately, their part of the mission meant that Yang cocked back her gauntlet, a small smirk appearing on her face as a single punch had Ember Celica blasting the metal apart to let that horrific noise assault his ears once more.

"Guess who's back!" Yang emphatically declared as she strutted into the room, the few seconds letting Link get a feel for the room. Completely black, save for the occasional highlight of red and the crimson colours of the drinks on display; if it weren't for the potions the knight had to consume throughout his life, Link would've thought that no drink could attain such a bright red colouration, the bartender letting out a strangled gasp as soon as he caught sight of who had arrived. Almost as soon as the bear mask wearing man at the back lifted the needle off his music player, several different guns were pointed in their faces, each person wielding them with fierce anger in their eyes.

So, about that whole 'friend' thing…

"Don't worry. I couldn't ask for a nicer greeting."

"Wait, wait, don't shoot." The bartender cried out as he pushed his way through the various men ready to fire, guns immediately lowering as Link let his hand fall from the handle of the Master Sword. That was good, so they were talking to the most important person in this establishment. "Blondie, you brought friends… why are you back here? I thought you left enough of a repair tab before."

"Well, you still owe me a drink." Yang simply answered, taking the man by the collar and dragging him over to the bar where he had been working. Well, might as well get comfortable somewhat; who knew how long they could be there? There were quite a few people who looked like they would prefer them skewered as well. Lovely.

"I can't believe he left me here!" Zelda cried out as she folded her arms; no matter where she looked, there was not a single sight of Link nor Team RWBY. Whatever they had managed to get themselves involved in, they had, for some reason, decided not to inform her, Link informed her of everything!

So instead, she had decided there was no use griping about such a thing. With a handful of beautiful fruits prepared by a particularly excitable volunteer in the canteen, the princess had made her way out towards the Cliffside of beacon, gazing out upon the beauty that lay beyond the edge of the land. Honestly, it was as if that kitchen boy thought she would fall for him just because of a few well-arranged fruits!

When was the last time she had been alone like this? Not since… not since she had spurned Link's assistance back when during the time of the Champions. Ever since then, she had always had the help of either her friends or one of the many servants Hyrule Castle kept to maintain such a masterpiece of architecture and the royal family. Zelda was divided on whether she was enjoying the time alone or not.

Even when she was sealed away, she still had the pleasant company of the Calamity, giant raging ball of evil Scream-y hatred as it was. It was almost like a dream at this point; a princess' endless years of struggle against a tyrannical evil, a constant battle between the light and dark that never rested… but now, Hyrule was at peace, even if this world wasn't.

Planting grapes one by one into her Mouth, Zelda started to hum a small lullaby as she watched the passing birds. It was a simple one, one passed down to her by her mother, bless her soul, when she was still alive and Zelda had been nought but a babe. Even the first few notes brought forth a wonderful image, hazy, but of a gorgeous woman sitting her in her lap, skilfully strumming upon a harp and singing that lullaby. It was really the only thing Zelda had left to cherish from her.

The beautiful night sky however quickly began to grow stormy, a sigh escaping Zelda; well, she hadn't bothered to check the weather and this was apparently the consequences. It was only a moment later, when she looked up to the stormy sky once more, when Zelda actually remembered something actually quite important.

"…But it had been a clear sky before…!?" a sudden crack of thunder in the air caused the princess to jump back. Those weren't normal clouds in the air, not with the way they swirled around ominously. Naturally, her first instinct was to pull out the Ancient Crossbow, aiming it upwards towards the sky, only to pull back – there was nothing to shoot, they were clouds.

But then those very same clouds suddenly shot towards the princess, Zelda unable to move away in time to avoid being sucked into the dark fog. It was a choking sensation, surrounded on all sides seemingly by poison and unable to move her limbs. By the time that the other teachers managed to make their way around the various fleeing students and actually caught a glimpse of the chaotic force in the air, it had already fled far from Beacon, carrying the Princess along for the ride.

"Port, Oobleck, take a bullhead and move after it immediately. We need to ensure her safety at all times!" Ozpin barked out, the two teachers giving the briefest of nods before they were rushing out towards the docking area, a foul expression upon Ozpin's face. "So, yet another has decided to reveal itself… I fear just what this one is capable of if it actually managed to make it onto Beacon grounds without us noticing."

"Everyone! If you can hear me, we need back-"

"HEEEELLLLP! Big robot! And it's big! Really big! That Torchwick guy is in it! But not, like, it didn't eat him; he's, like, controlling it or something!"

Well, that was a reassuring call.

Yang looked up from her scroll as Link called out his own bike, Neptune once more hesitantly getting onto the back of Bumblebee. It was clear that Blake and Sun were out of their league; now all they needed was a location.

"HURRYYYY!" and then the ground was trembling, a blur of black and yellow before a hulking monster of a machine stomped down the streets, the sounds of relentless guns trying their hardest to shut them down.

Well that was easy.

Two motorbikes roared into action, a small tut escaping Link as he followed their path. Of course Blake and Sun would take it off the empty road and onto one full of traffic, because the safety of others clearly didn't matter! The robot followed after without hesitation, arms swinging to toss aside any unfortunate vehicle that just so happened to be in its path. If they wanted to get down there though, they would have to jump.

"Oh. Oh no, you are not going to-!" Neptune started, only to feel a gust of wind surrounding them as they reached max speed. Just before they leapt, the last thing Neptune saw before he closed his eyes was Link actually having the audacity to leap into the air, spinning the Master Cycle Zero beneath him like a stunk racer, a bright smile upon his face.

He had taken this thing off mountains. A little height between roads wasn't going to do anything.

Yang let out a cry of joy as she swerved around the incoming cars, horns blaring until they got slammed aside by the giant robot. Link hated to think that way, but right now, those weren't people. They were obstacles in their way and they had to be avoided, he couldn't save all of them if he wanted to stop this robot from hurting even more. If he strained his eyes, he could just make out Blake and Sun leaping from car top to car top, just vaguely managing to maintain their distance advantage, but the robot was catching up.

"We need to slow it down!" Yang called over the chaotic mess of noise, Neptune reaching for his weapon before a giant cluster of cars decided to suddenly fly in their direction. Quite literally fly, for the mighty power of the robot before them had sent them high into the sky, falling just where they were driving conveniently enough. Link would let them take the safe… safer route below; with the Master Cycle Zero dissolving beneath him, the knight leapt onto one of the flying cars, a silent apology as he used it to jump even high to the next one until he was at the peak of the chaos, time seemingly slowing down as he pulled out the Lynel bow.

This was on the scale of a guardian; incredibly fast, incredibly strong and with a large amount of firepower that could kill about ten men in a single second. The only difference was that this one had a human inside controlling it, it wasn't just going to be the dumb machine whose only answer was to fire its laser. Notch an explosive arrow, pull back, release, repeat. Each time, an explosive arrow triplicating until there was a veritable wall of the projectiles launching themselves towards the robot. The powers of dust had made it easy to replicate them, perhaps even enhancing their power as the light of their explosions lit up the night sky, sending the giant hulk of metal tumbling off the edge of the road onto the next one beneath, thankfully more devoid of cars.

But it didn't fall easily, a barrage of rocket missiles heading in their direction., the protection of a Goron prevented Link from being injured, but the same couldn't be said for the reunited Sun and Neptune, the blows sending them flying in the opposite direction. Until they could recover, it was just up to Link and Team RWBY, Ruby and Weiss jumping down from wherever they had been to arrive.

"Freezerburn!" What? Link had no idea what it meant, but he didn't need to, for as soon as Ruby called out the word, both she and Blake zoomed backwards to allow Weiss to stab Myrtenaster into the ground, a giant circle of ice appearing. A punch from Ember Celica soon had the area filled with smoke, Link suddenly feeling a lot more approving of their methods; rather than a direct attack, they had decided to form a smokescreen to work in, the ice particles in the air also serving to diffract the lasers the robot was using to track them.

"Checkmate! And Link!" oh, now he was being commanded by a young girl. Wasn't he the captain of the royal knights, a well experienced warrior who had managed to take down a great evil that had plagued the world for hundreds of years? Meh, might as well for the fun.

Just narrowly dodging the arm that swung in his direction as he approached allowed Link to Rapidly slash away at the legs alongside Blake, each attack from the faunus seemingly causing the girl to melt away – no, clones, each one formed making an individual attack so that the strikes could be put out faster. With Weiss forming one of her glyphs beneath them, it was simple enough to zoom backwards, the Hylian shield and Blake's agility meaning that dodging or parrying the missiles sent in retaliation was simple.

"Ladybug! Um… Smash and Slash!" Well, he was clearly meant to be slash and the most smash-y one out of them? As Ruby and Blake began rapidly running between the legs, the black and red blurs even managing to cut off one of the guns that had been relentlessly shooting at them, Link and Yang pulled themselves onto the back, alarms blaring as they repeatedly shot their slugs and stabbed the Master Sword into the back of the metal beast. At least until it suddenly began to stride backwards, Link and Yang unprepared for when they suddenly smashed through a trio of support beams for the roads above them.

Groggily, they arose, Yang's hair aglow with energy and her eyes burning red… only for their attention to be diverted to the giant cloud of darkness that swarmed past them, the pair rolling out of the way only to find it barrelling back towards them. Even just the smallest encounter with it caused Link to gag; it was like ingesting pure poison for the briefest of moments and he could live happy without it ever happening again.

It didn't discriminate about who it attacked; Ruby was forced to become little more than rose petals as she dashed away when the mass of darkness tried to attack her, Weiss only managing to avoid it through use of a glyph styled after a clock. All too quickly however, the mas started to gain form, link's fear realised. No longer was this just a cloud; instead, huge wings began to spread out, gaining dreaded orange powerlines through their armour. An only partially humanoid being gradually began to take form, a crude mishmash of cybernetic enhancements and pure unfiltered malice while where the legs should've been, huge bird-like talons took their place complete with blue energy forming the claws. Giant claws slowly formed out of the same energy, barely a single swipe from them needed to cleave the robot in half, Torchwick running for his life from the creature as his very body shattered like glass along with the appearance of a pink, brown and white dressed girl. That wasn't the important part however,

What was important was the sudden arrival of a second cloud, taking on the exact same appearance. With Zelda in its hands.

"Oh dear. Perhaps this battle may be fiercer than we first anticipated!" the voice of Port called out, both he and Doctor Oobleck arriving on the scene with their weapons primed to battle. "This foul creature managed to make it onto the boundaries of Beacon, we would be fools if we didn't give it the rightful punishment it deserves!"

"I've never seen anything like it, it's an incredible discovery! Perhaps maybe even the only thing of its kind, the Grimm are known to have bodies that reject any kind of matter foreign to their own bodies, yet these seem to bear a combination of organic and manmade components! Fascinating!" Oobleck added, pushing back his glasses as he watched the two beasts get used to their proper bodies, Zelda trying her best to break free from the iron grip she was being held in.

Focus. This wasn't just any old Grimm. This was… these are Blight Ganons, some of the most horrible monsters that could ever be imagined.

And as soon as Link said that, the two beasts gave a horrific roar, launching towards one another as they briefly became one, only to then split once more until three stood before them.

Oh, no, just one Blight Ganon. And apparently, it could clone itself.

Well that looks like a lovely place to end it for now. The first: Earthblight Ganon. The second: Poisonblight Ganon. hopefully that gives you enough insight into just how this evil might fight and with such a large group of people prepared to battle, it's only natural that next chapter, we'll jump straight into the madness! Please, review and tell me what you think!

Super hero time! See you next time!
