Skyloft, where the legendary goddess blade was wielded against the darkness. It is here that Link and his team arrive to lend a hand in a battle already underway.
"This place sorta reminds me of Skypiea." Luffy said looking around.
"I've heard of this place. This is actually a piece of land that the goddess raised into the sky in order to protect the remaining humans." Hope said.
"The power of the Goddess was channeled into a sword after that. And I think we know where we can find it." Kirito said pointing to the temple nearby.
"And look who decided to come greet us!" Natsu said grinning as they saw Volga leading his army.
"This time, Dragon Slayer, we will settle our score!" Volga said.
"You are so persistent, Volga. Dont you know it is I who truly leads this army?" said a new voice. Behind Volga was a humanoid demon with gray skin and elf aspects.
Demon Sword
Ghirahim
"So, this is the demon sword I've read about. The one who belonged to the first evil of this world." Hope said.
"Quite right. And you are those heroes who were a thorn in many evil sides, including Hades himself." Ghirahim said.
"How about I take this guy on while you get to the temple?" Pit asked drawing his bow. "Anyone who knows of Hades has got to know me."
"Kirito, you go to the temple, we'll handle things elsewhere." Jexi said.
"Hey, sword guy! In case you didn't know, I'm the guy who destroyed Hades!" Pit bragged as Ghirahim charged at Pit.
"Oh, really? You are nothing but a puppet to your precious Goddess of Light. How long before an angel like yourself is of no use to her at all?" Ghirahim asked him.
"I don't care what you say. I trust Lady Palutena with all my heart. Also, you're a little creepy for my taste." Pit said pushing the demon off of him.
Meanwhile, Kirito dashed inside the temple to see the Goddess blade. He went to remove it, but the blade suddenly came alive, transforming into a girl.
Goddess Sword
Fi
Fi then flew over to Kirito. "You are not the master, but I consider you a master." she said.
"What does that mean?" Kirito asked.
"You need my assistance if you wish to succeed in your mission." Fi replied.
"Well, this is just like NPCs act in ALO. You can come with us." Kirito said.
"You can address me as Fi. Now, we must defend Skyloft. I sense two darkness coming from the sky." she said.
Kirito and Fi ran outside to see a thundercloud approaching as well as a large bird. Kirito saw five figures holding onto its tail feathers. "What in the world's?" Kirito said as the bird flew overhead.
"Don't you dare let go of this money stealing bird!" Krokorok shouted.
"Whoooa, I'm slipping!" Pawniard said as he fell off and onto Kirito. "Okay. I did not enjoy that." Pawniard said as the rest of the team fell.
"Team crusader? What are you doing here?" Hope asked as he arrived with the others.
"Long story. But we need to go after that bird! Its got a pirate captain who owes us a lot of booty!" Fraxure said.
"Also, there was this flying ship we saw as we were holding on to that thing." Bastiodon said.
"If you let us fight with you guys, we'll split the reward 90/10." Krokorok said.
"That isn't even a fair trade!" Naruto said.
"We're scrap for cash! We've been living off cockroaches for the past two weeks!" Snorunt said.
"Well that's no excuse to…"
"Mamaragan!"
A bolt of lightning then struck the ground where they stood. "So, still wanna go without offer? Need I remind you I'm immune to electric attacks." Krokorok said.
"Worry about that later, who fired that?" Eren asked.
"I know who. Its that lightning guy from Skypiea!" Luffy said. "Eneru!"
Lo and behold, there he was dropping down from his ark Maxim in front of the Heroes.
Former God of Skypiea
Eneru
"So youre Eneru? Flux probably sought you out, so I'm guessing he's cutting into this war, too." Hope said.
"Indeed. He saw this war as an opportunity to pillage some villages and nearby worlds while you are all busy here. He even sent me to buy some time as he robbed the Dark Forces blind." Eneru explained.
"Looks like you've fallen far, lighting guy." Luffy said. "I mean, a god serving another guy?"
"I don't serve him! We are equal partners. He was even kind enough to get me a pet." Eneru said blowing a whistle as a tiger like creature leapt down from his ship.
Lightning Beast
Raikou
"That's Raikou! One of the legendary pokemon that serve Ho-oh." Hope said.
"Indeed. One of the many Pokemon test subjects Flux has in his lab." Eneru bragged. "Sic them, Raikou."
Raikou pounced, but Fi kicked him away.
"Odds of beast inflicting pain on comrades: 95%. Odds of beast hurting me: 1%" Fi replied.
"Help...me." Raikou said in pain.
"Ah. Must be experiencing some side effects from the Shadow Drug Flux injected into it." Eneru said.
"Time for round 2, Eneru!" Luffy said.
"I have nothing to fear from you, rubberman of the blue sea!" Eneru said. "For I have Raikou to serve me. Attack with Thunder Fang!"
Raikou leaped at Luffy and bit him, causing a shock. Luffy didnt flinch from either.
"Hey, Eneru! Forgot that rubber cant conduct electricity already?" Luffy asked punching Raikou away.
"And if you mess with him, you mess with me!" Snorunt said running up.
"Yeah! You got in the way of our bird chase, we're gonna put you in a full body cast." Krokorok said.
"Come at me, blue-sea dwellers! Max 2000 Volt Amaru!" Eneru shouted, going into his Amaru state.
"Team Crusader and I can handle Eneru, you guys deal with Volga and Ghirahim." Luffy said.
"Understood. Raikou is subdued." Fi said.
The team came to an area where the town soldiers were fighting off Moblin's.
"Dont let these monsters get their hands on Levias's pumpkin soup!" a soldier cried out.
"Levias?" Ichigo asked.
"He is the god that protects the skies. By feeding him his favorite soup, they wish for him to assist in making more connection points." Fi explained.
"We must advance to the enemy base, but the way to it is cut off. We were hoping to have Levias help, but these monsters knew what we were planning." a soldier said.
"No worries, we can deliver the soup easy!" said Pit as he was just arriving. "Sorry, I'm late. I was able to lose that demon guy."
"Great work. Now, you and Fi carry the soup to a connection point and he'll handle the rest." Hope said.
"No worries." Pit said as he picked up the pumpkin with ease. "Let's hussle!" he said as they began moving.
Pit and Fi transported the soup to a connection point. There, they saw Levias. He was like a whale with a beard.
"Ho ho ho! I smell my favorite soup." boomed a loud voice as a large whale like creature surfaced from the clouds. "Now, what do you require of me?"
"We want you to connect the path for us." Kirito said.
"Consider both roadways connected." Levias said, nudging two large slabs of land to the broken pathways.
"Cursed god. Volga, get rid of those heroes!" Ghirahim commanded to Volga.
"Very well. I've let them live long enough." Volga said as he rushed for where the heroes were.
"I'll take a crack at him this time." Ichigo said as he ran to counter Volga.
"So the substitute Soul Reaper is my next opponent? How amusing." Volga said as their weapons clashed.
"Youre gonna see why i was chosen to become one." Ichigo said as his sword began to glow.
"Are you now? I suppose if that is true, I'll go all out instead of holding back like I did against your friends." Volga grinned. He then Ignited with flames and started pushing Ichigo back.
"Master, Volga's power has rose considerably. I calculate the odds of Ichigo surviving this encounter is..3%" Fi stated.
"What can we do to raise those odds?" Kirito said.
"One solution: offering prayer to the Great Fairy." Fi said pointing to the temple they found her in.
"Perfect. We can use her magic to get me back to full strength." Levias said.
"But, we have another problem." Eren said as they pointed to Eneru, who was beaten and bashed approaching them.
"I will...not let you escape!" he said pointing his pole at them.
But before he could attack, he was picked up by a large bird and thrown off of Skyloft, plummeting to the ground below. The bird flew back to reveal it had large wings, a yellow beak and white ruffled feather mane.
King of Avia
Braviary
"It's been a long time, flightless angel." he said to Pit.
"Rufflet? I cant belive you evolved!" Pit said.
"I've grown a lot since our last encounter. Now I'm even stronger than ever. Also, I brought some back up." he said as the group saw many birds flying over them and attacking the monsters.
"Guess Avia's helping us out now." Jexi said.
"It's good to have allies from far off places." Hope added.
"Now get to the temple, Kirito. We'll do our best to hold back that Dragon Knight." Braviary said as he flew towards the knight in question.
"Okay Fi, let's go!" Kirito said as they rushed toward the temple, slashing away at any straggling monster troop. They soon made it inside and began offering a prayer. Kirito raised his sword and the Great Fairy appeared. Using her magic, her fairies dangled a bowl of pumpkin soup from a fishing line. Levias saw this and leapt from the clouds to eat it, releasing a large electrical shock from his body. This hit Volga dead on and allowed Ichigo a chance. He entered his hollow state and launched Volga into the air, delivering a flurry of slashes from every direction.
Volga breathed heavily as he stood on the ground. "I've been weakened too much to continue the battle. No choice. All forces retreat! We've lost this fight." Volga shouted.
"They're falling back! We won!" a soldier said before Ghirahim grabbed his shoulder and began sending a subliminal message to him.
"You now serve the Dark Forces. Do not act until I give you the next command." Ghirahim implanted before vanishing.
"Okay, in two days we take the fight to them. Fi, what's their location?" Kirito said.
"The Sealed Grounds directly below us. Ghirahim intends to release the monster sealed within there." Fi explained.
"We won't let that happen. Let's gather what forces we have and rest up." Hope said.
"And you can consider us your faithful allies for this fight." Braviary said.
"Let's bust some moves!" Krokorok shouted as he and his group began climbing up a rope dangling from Eneru's ship. "While they party, we get back to what we were doing earlier." Krokorok said as they got visual on the large bird with Tetra.
"Hang on, Pirate! We're coming to save ya and get your reward!" the five called out as the ship took off.
