I am so, so, so x 10,000 sorry that I haven't posted anything as of late. I already have the chapter written and ready, but I just didn't have the time to post it.

Anyways, I do not own any of the characters in the Legend of Zelda series.

Enjoy!

Chapter 9: Hateno Lab and New Member

Even with the few hours of sleep, the large group were tired, so it was decided that they would rest up in the inn in Hateno.

Today has been rather hectic back in Kakariko Village. A flash of light suddenly appeared and disappeared leaving an unconscious blonde hair Hylian wearing a green tunic with a blue scarf with the symbol of the Triforce. The Blade of Evil's bane laid beside the Hylian. On his left shoulder was a piece of shoulder armor, and on his back was the famous Hylian Shield known throughout history. On the back of his left hand, the Triforce of Courage was lit up faintly, but not enough to know that it was even glowing.

The young man had been dropped off in front of the two guards standing outside of their elder's house. One of the guards quickly went to Impa what had just occurred, and moments later, she told them to bring him along with the sword inside. The young man slept for about six hours, and when he woke, the first thing he noticed was that this wasn't the Temple of Time. He was on a bed, a very comfortable one at that too.

"It seems that you are awake, courageous one," said an elderly voice. In the middle of the room, was an old lady garbed in white robes and a large straw hat.

"Where am I?" It was the first question that came to his mind. The old woman's eyes were looking directly at him.

"It has come to my conclusion that you were brought here from your Hyrule, along with the others who are just like you, to aid in the defeat of Calamity Ganon."

"But that still doesn't answer my question. Where am I?" The old woman sighed.

"You are in Hyrule. To be more specific, Kakariko Village, the home of the Sheikah Tribe. As I said before this is not your Hyrule that you saved, but another," the elderly woman emphasized. The young man's shoulder slouched.

"Pardon me, but… Is your name perhaps Link, by any chance?" she asked. The blonde haired Hylian nodded slowly. The wise woman smiled, "I am Impa." At the mention of her name, he gasped.

"You, and other Links across time, were brought here to save this Hyrule from its complete annihilation," Impa informed him.

"Other… Links?" She replied with a nod. She explained to him about what occurred 100 years ago, about the prophecy and the four Divine Beasts, and what shocked him the most was that another him was asleep for 100 years, but left out his amnesia.

"For someone who is a native, yet a stranger, to Hyrule, you are taking this quite well," Impa was slightly amused.

"Well, I, for one, had to deal with the dark half of a certain Sorceress of Time who manipulated of all time and space, so I at least have some knowledge about alternate universes and timelines," Link gave her a wry grin. There was loud talking coming closer to the doors. Impa's attention was now at the door.

~ Earlier ~

After resting for three hours, the boys were getting clues as to where the lab is located. When they got back together, all of their information pointed to the building at the very top of the hill. One by one they filed through the door of the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab. There was a little girl standing on top of a stool and an adult male in the back of the room over by the bookshelves.

"Hello," greeted the girl: "This is the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab. Do you have some business with the director?"

All of them, except Wild nodded their heads: "The director is in the back. A terribly busy person, that one. Please try to keep it brief." Once again, all of them, except the native Hyrule's Link went to the man in the back of the room. The man and the group in a conversation about the records of Hyrule. Wild lightly glared at the girl.

"For a five girl using large vocabulary, my guess is that man over there is actually the assistant, and you are actually the director." At the same time, the man in the back, Symin, also said, "Director! Listen, Ms. Director! This is a REAL Sheikah Slate!"

"Director?"

"Oh, that's right… I haven't introduced our director," Symin glanced over to the girl on the stool: "Ms. Purah happens to be right over there…"

Symin pointed to the girl and all of the Links in the group followed to where he was pointing: "As the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab director, Ms. Purah is the world's foremost authority on ancient Hyrule culture.

"Check it!" The girl called Purah posed.

"I have the utmost respect for Ms. Purah and all she's accomplished. I'm honored to be her assistant. On that note, Links…," Symin hesitated a bit before continuing with his speech, "You see, the director may look like a young girl, but…Well… maybe it's not my place to be telling you these things. You should talk to Ms. Purah herself."

The group walked over to the girl once again.

"Hey! Heeeey! Are you surprised?!" The director giggled at her somewhat successful prank. She then confirms that she really IS the director. Then, Purah turns towards the native Hyrule's Link.

"Anywaaay. Linky! Do you remember any dreams from your time in the Slumber of Restoration? You don't look like you've changed a bit in the last 100 years, but SOMETHING must have happened in all that time! Well, no matter! I'm just happy you're still in one piece."

"Was that suppose to make me happy?" Purah blinked.

"…Linky? What's with that look? You do still remember me, right?"

"Nope! Wild's memories are as blank as a slate, no memory whatsoever, and Linky?," Blue was whacked in the head by Green. Purah was left flabbergasted at Blue's statement: "Really?! Well! I'm so shocked I don't know if I'll ever be able to recover from this! Even though, 100 years ago, I took you to the Shrine of Resurrection after Calamity Ganon fatally wounded you…," Purah began to rant ending it with a question if he still doesn't remember her. His only reply was that he doesn't remember anything. It was then, she suddenly pulled out a pen and notebook and began jotting down words as if Wild himself was a lab specimen. The director of the lab explained that in order for her to fix the slate, they had to bring the blue flame from an ancient furnace in town.

Thirty minutes later, they lit up the lab's furnace with the blue flame from town, and they were able to fix the Sheikah Slate back to the way it was before. Afterwards, she asked Wild to take a picture of her and show it to her which he complied. She also said a few things to them before they left.

Before leaving the village, they tackled a shrine nearby and then teleported to Kakariko Village. Unlike all the other times they've been teleported, they were painfully in a dog pile except for Myth, who was already strange as he is. Somehow, or by some magic, Myth simply poked someone's arm and immediately they were no longer in a pile of limbs.

"Huh?" Realm looked at his body. All the Links sighed.

"Your sword and shield are at the front doors of Impa's house.," Wild sighed. The group began to walk to the house.

"I hear Impa conversing with someone," If Twilight was a wolf right now, his ears would have twitched.

"Y'know, that Purah girl was weird," Tiny speculated.

"I'm pretty sure that we are all weird," Sky shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, we're here," Myth pushed the door open and they walked into the house. Wild and Twilight stole a glance to the Link wearing a green tunic and a light blue scarf around his neck, but made no motion about whatsoever.

~ Present ~

Myth stated happily, "We're back GranGran!" Sky bonked him the head as he cried in pain. The other Link in the room watched with silent amusement. Impa completely ignored his outburst.

"I heard Purah was giving you the runaround, but you seem just fine." Power retorted, "Fine as in–" He was, however, tackled to the floor by both Courage and Wisdom.

"Just ignore them Ms. Impa, they are idiots," Wind scratched his head as Power shouted and Myth pouted, "I am not an idiot."

Paint massaged his head, "No, you're right. You're just insane."

The Link in the corner of the room couldn't help but grin with amusement, and Impa let out a small laugh, "I see that you are all getting along quite nicely. Now then… Let me see."

Wild pulled out the Sheikah Slate from its straps and showed it to the elderly woman.

"Aha! This is, without a doubt, the Camera that Princess Zelda used 100 years ago," Impa exclaimed as Wild put it away. Impa was suddenly deep into her thoughts.

"It could be that if you visit the locations within those pictures, you will be able to restore some of your lost memories." At this point the last Link made himself known to the others: "This native Hyrule's Link has amnesia?" All heads turned towards the newcomer.

"Sadly, I do," Wild was filled with melancholy.

"Great! Look at what you did to Wild. He's on autopilot now!" The Four let out an exasperated sigh of suffering. Red paid no heed to the now depressed Wild as he made his way over to the nicknameless Link.

Red beamed happily, "Hi, Link! I am also Link, but you can call me Red. The depressed one is Wild. The others are the Four, Wind, Spirit who is next to Wind, Realm who is in the middle of the Four, Paint, Twilight, Mask, Time. And Time happens to be the younger version of Mask. The two Links that tackled the other Red Link called Power are Courage and Wisdom. The one who hit Myth on the head is Sky."

Myth became hyperactive, "Now then! New Link, tell Red your Heroic Title and any special ability or abilities you may or may not have picked up over the course of your adventure, and be prepared to receive an awesome nickname!"

There was a moment of complete silence in the room until Link finally spoke up, "They call me the Legendary Hero or sometimes the Hero of Legends."

"We've already got our hands full with just this the Hero of Legends," Sky stated pointing to Myth who was pouting at his remark.

"Um… Captain of the Hylian Army." Twilight sighed.

"Some of us are captains as well."

"The Triforce of Courage keeps me from dying in battle."

"Somebody is already named after the Triforce of Courage."

Link thought about what to say until there was a faint color of pink that flourished his face. Link hesitated while at the same time was stuttering, "Um… heh… um… I am… I am also the soon-to-be Prince of… Consort." Everyone, including Impa, were gaping like fishes as for Link, his face was the color of an overly ripped tomato.

"Show us the ring," Blue and the other Links, besides Wild who was functioning on autopilot, demanded.

Link showed them his engagement ring deflating any suspicion that was left within them: "You guys make it seem as if I was hiding something from all of you," Link put on a seemingly mocked expression of sadness.

"Um, guys? We're getting off topic here," Wind steered them back to their original conversation. Red jumped, "Oh! Right! Nicknames… Um… How bout we just call you Prince?" Link was about to protest when he looked into a extremely good impression of puppy eyes. There was even little beads of tears coming out from his eyes. Link, now called Prince, let out a sigh of defeat, "Fine."

Wild, soon after, managed to be his normal self again. It was then that Impa carried on with their first conversation, "Come back here once you have tried going to at least one of those locations. There are a few things that I wish to give to you all."

"Yeah, yeah. Sure, sure. But why don't we do that after we settle in for tonight," Myth yawned loudly.

Please give this story a like, so push that favorite/follow button(s) and please give some reviews as well. And I will try to the best of my abilities to reply back to you.

Here is the preview to the next chapter:

"She has pictures of each of us in… weird poses hung on every space of the wall. Statues of us everywhere. I pretty sure her bedroom is full of pictures of us from the ceiling, the walls, and floor. Every tunic, except mine and Wild's, weapons, to the empty bottles that we use, the clothing that we used to wear before getting the green tunic. Need I continue?"
