Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Heroes

Chapter 10: The Twilight Heroes Unite

After Scott had made it to the village and found Lyn, Mel and the others, they all went to the very same inn that Link and his crew went to many years ago.

Epona and Felix were by the window, while the others were huddled at a table, with Zeke sitting by his owners.

Scott and Lyn had gone back and forth, back and forth, telling each other of what they went through.

From Lyn and her groups fight against the various monsters sent to find them, to Scott's escape from Zant.

Mel had boasted about how his blow to the Lynel is what fell the mighty beast. While Scott told of how he and Gerald soared through the air.

That brought up another thing. Everyone was surprised to find a Moblin had helped Scott escape.

As well as the fact that he named it after his father.

As they got done telling eachother their tales through all of this, Navi was the one to ask, "so, what now?"

Lyn, "what do you mean?"

Navi, "well, Scott managed to save himself from Zant-"

Scott, "Gerald helped."

Navi, "right, with help from Gerald. But we've still gotta stop this guy. Your parents are probably gonna have to fight Vaati, so it's up to us to take on Zant."

Midna, "agreed. I still need to take my powers back from that bastard."

Mel, "so really, our plans have changed very little."

Eli, "except now, the Prince and his Moblin will be joining us."

Scott, "I may not be eager to return to that place, but if it means getting a little justice for my kidnapping, then sign me up!"

Gerald, "wherever the Prince goes, I will follow!"

Eli, "you're quite noble for a Moblin."

Lyn, "a Twilight Moblin at that."

Gerald, "I know my kind has done terrible things. Especially these Twilight ones. Hell, I'm not even really a true Moblin. Just a perversion of one. But I want to make up for it by joining you on this quest."

Navi, "y'know, this reminds me of when I first went on that journey with Lyn and Mel's parents to save Aryll and Scott's mother. We were all huddled together, becoming the Heroes of Hyrule. It seems like history repeating itself. Several young heroes, who are about to head out on their battle against a terrible foe."

Midna, "three children, a Rito, a wolf, a Moblin, a fairy, and a queen looking to regain her throne. An interesting group to say the least."

Eli, "impossible odds. And a small chance of success?"

Mel, "what are we waiting for?"

Everyone got a chuckle out of Mel and Eli's little bit of comedy.

Lyn, "so, shall we make a name for our team?"

Mel, "like our parents did?"

Lyn, "well yeah. We're our own heroes, so we've gotta have a name!"

Eli, "like what?"

Mel, "how about, ' The Young Bloods'?"

Navi, "nah. How about, 'Heroes Two, Electric Boogaloo'?"

Lyn, "what?"

Mel, "what?"

Eli, "what?"

Midna, "what?"

Zeke, "aroo?"

(Translation: 'what?')

Navi, "it was just a weird idea."

Midna, "how about, 'The New Heroes'?"

Mel, "eh, that sounds interesting at least."

Eli, "what even IS a Boogaloo?"

Navi, "I dunno. I just remember the word, not what it means."

Gerald, "the Twilight Heroes?"

Lyn, "wait, say that again!"

Gerald, "that again?"

Lyn, "no, the name you thought of!"

Gerald, "the Twilight Heroes?"

Lyn, "ya know what? I like that."

Mel, "me too. This whole adventure has been about not just Hyrule, but the Twilight Realm as well."

Eli, "it seems a fitting name, since we are travelling with the Queen of the Twilight Realm."

Midna, "agreed."

Navi, "so, we're all in agreement?"

Lyn, "it looks like it."

Mel, "so, we're the Twilight Heroes then."

Scott, "then we better make it official!"

Everyone looked to the Prince as he grabbed a sword the group had provided him.

Scott, "everyone kneel forward."

Lyn, Mel, Eli, Gerald, Zeke rose and went to their knees, while Midna and Navi stood by. Navi was alright a Hyrule Hero, and Midna was a Queen, so they were exactly parr of this new group of heroes formed this day.

Scott held aloft his sword and said, "by the Goddess Hylia, and by my right as Prince of Hyrule and heir to the throne, I do dub thee, The Twilight Heroes!"

The newly dubbed Heroes rose to their feet, smiling proudly at their new titles.

Scott, "tomorrow, we make our way to Zants fortress. We fight the man, help Queen Midna regain the throne, and while this goes on, we need to send word to my mother and the Heroes at Hyrule Castle."

Lyn, "now we've just gotta send word to Zelda somehow."

Navi, "ugh, If only Erma were here to do so."

"You rang?"

Everyone jumped back as they saw Erma sitting there in a nearby chair.

Lyn, "how the heck did you get here?"

Erma, "when I heard you guys made it to this village, I decided to check and see how you're doing. Impa can hold down the fort for a bit. And I see the Prince is safe. Glad to see so."

Scott, "Erma. Do you think you can send word to my mother of our plan for tomorrow."

Erma, "gladly. That way, Link and the others can fight Vaati at the same time!"

Erma, "alright, let's do it!"

Erma disappeared in a puff of smoke, leaving the Heroes to speak among themselves.

Lyn, "great. Now, I'd say we should turn in for the night. Get ready for tomorrow."

Mel, "right Sis. What about the room arrangements?"

Midna, "how about, Lyn and Mel, Scott and Gerald, Eli and me? Zeke and Navi stay by the door?"

Mel, "I was thinking of bunking with Eli."

Lyn, "I was thinking, me and Scott?"

Gerald, "that would leave me with Midna then?"

Midna, "I don't know how comfortable that is to me."

Lyn, "Scott needs protection-"

Midna, "the girl with the sword, instead of the Moblin?"

Eli, "how about groups of three?"

Navi, "that could work. Lyn, Gerald and Scott. Mel, Eli and Midna. And I'll keep watch with Zeke."

Midna, "alright, fine. Everyone, let's head on up."

And so, the group each headed up to their rooms.

.

Lyn was sitting on her bed as Scott was in the bathroom washing up. Gerald was sitting on a nearby stool.

Lyn had some questions for the Moblin.

Lyn, "why did you help Scott?"

Gerald, "pardon?"

Lyn, "you went out of your way to help Scott, and get him out of that place. Why?"

Gerald, "well, honestly, I've never been like the other Moblins. I always felt that the terrible things we did were wrong. I just, well, I just wanna show that my species can do some good."

Lyn, "well, you'll have your chance tomorrow. We all will. To prove ourselves."

Scott had just left the bathroom in a nightshirt.

And with that he said, "then we better get some rest. We'll be in for the fight of our lives!"

Lyn, "and so will our parents."

.

Midna had decided to give Mel and Eli space. A little after they had gotten to their shared room, the two began speaking to one another, all but romantically.

So she was in the hall, looking at the fairy and wolf sitting near the doors.

Midna, "so, you were with the Hyrule Heroes on their quest to defeat Ganon years ago?"

Navi, "yep. I spent a lot of time on Links head. And on Flynn's as well."

Midna, "and, Flynn is…."

Navi, "Zeke's father. He was a young wolf that accompanied Link on his quest. Eventually, he and a female wolf had several cubs. Zeke was the only one who stayed as the others went to live with the mother in a nearby field."

Zeke, (my father is too old to go on this journey, so I went in his place. Like Lyn and Mel, I wish to live up to my father's example as a hero's companion.)

Midna, "and I'm sure you will. We're all a part of something great. To save Hyrule. And the Twilight Realm."

Navi, "that means, we need rest."

Zeke, (yeah, I'm tired as all Hell.)

Midna, "well, goodnight then."

Navi, "sleep tight!"

Zeke, (don't let any fleas bite!)

As Midna entered the room, she was surprised to see Mel and Eli kissing one another!

She quietly closed the door so she could knock and give them a chance to compose themselves.

.

A few minutes earlier.

Eli, "so, you really feel that way?"

Mel, "yeah. I, I dunno why, but, ever since I met you, something just spoke to me. Told me that I liked you. Like, the same thing Lyn and Scott go through for each other, but are too shy to talk about it."

Eli, "well, that's one thing you're better at!"

Mel, "I'd hope so. So…."

Eli, "so what?"

Mel, "do you, uh…."

Eli, "feel the same?"

Mel, "yeah?"

Eli decided to let actions speak louder than words. She leaned forward and kissed Mel.

He was surprised at first, but quickly melted into the embrace.

A few moments later, they heard a knock at the door.

Midna, "can I come in?"

Mel, "y-yeah!"

Eli, "come in!"

As Midna entered, the two looked at one another relieved.

They were glad, "nobody saw them."

.

Zant hadn't stopped fuming ever since the Prince and Moblin had escaped his clutches.

He had lost his only bargaining chip.

He had to come up with a new plan.

And so….

Zant, "servant!"

A small deformed looking Bokoblin ran forward, "you summoned Master!?"

Zant, "send word to Vaati. Tomorrow, he is to attack Hyrule Castle, and slaughter anyone in his way. Also send more flying beasts to track down the children. I'm convinced that they aren't in that damned Rito Village anymore. They've been playing me from the very start! Tomorrow, all will know the wrath of the Twilight Realm!"

His words echoed around the throne room as the Bokoblin ran off to carry out the orders of the enraged man.

As Zarn looked over towards the direction Hyrule Castle stood, he spoke to himself.

Zant, "mark my words. Zelda, Link, Scott, whoever the Hell is listening! I WILL rule Hyrule. I WILL have my throne! And not even Hylia herself will stand in my way! Let alone some kids and their allies…."

.

Vaati sat there, staring at the Castle still, being ever patient.

For a few days he was content to sit there as his beasts tried to enter the Castle and mutilate anyone in their way.

Although the statue he sat upon was getting a bit uncomfortable.

He has been sitting like that for quite some time that day.

When suddenly, a Tektite with wings flew near.

The Tektite, "Master Vaati! Master Vaati!"

Vaati, "what is it you blundering fool?"

The Tektite, "Master Zant has orders. We are to attack tomorrow morning!"

Vaati, "ah, excellent! Did he finally get those little bastards!?"

The Tektite, "ah, no. Quite the opposite in fact."

Vaati, "what!? He lost the Prince!?"

The Tektite, "yes."

Vaati, "ugh, fine. Tomorrow, we will fight. And tomorrow, we will win!"

.

Zelda was gathered in front of almost every knight in the castle.

They were resting before the doors of the Castle. Link and the other Heroes in the front.

They had received word from Erma of Scott's escape from Zant, and how Lyn's group would be heading there to fight him tomorrow morning. The same time she guessed Vaati would attack.

That was the reason for everyone being in the main hall.

For tomorrow, would be a fight to remember….

.

Sorry if this chapter was a bit shorter than others. Rest assured, the next two chapters will be mostly action oriented. Our Heroes each go against their respective bad guys. So look forward to it!
