With the discovery of the knight who can seal the darkness, the people of Hyrule began to gain hope. However, while their hope was growing, the princess was losing hers. No matter how much she trained and researched, doubts plagued her. To clear her mind, she joined the pilots and the heroes to look into some unusual relics. Their expedition bore no fruit and they set off back to Hyrule Castle.
"Cheer up Princess." Siege said. "You can't lose hope. We're so close to having everything in place. The last thing we need now is to lose hope when we're so close to victory."
"But...if I am unable to gain my power then…" Zelda said.
It was then that the guardian started to play a song to her.
"I...I know that song. It was called Zelda's Lullaby." Sunset said.
"Can it be?" Zelda said looking at the guardian. "I remember you." she said reaching for it.
"Enemy Ahead!" Impa called out as they saw monsters on the horizon.
"Not on our watch!" Siege said, drawing his blade. "Freyja, let's go!"
"Right!" Freyja said, getting her magic ready to fight.
"Sters ahead…" Gus remarked. "I doubt that we can all make it through if we were to push past without any strategy."
"Then we'll need to stem the flow." Richard answered back, before drawing his blades, as he cut a small opening through the rank of monsters ahead. "Some of us will have to keep the advancing monsters busy. The rest of you will need to guard the princess. Once she is safe, we can break through this encirclement."
"I have to agree with this little one here." Daruk remarked, raising his sword and breaking the hordes of monsters down further. "I don't mind if you want to stay and fight, but someone gotta look out for the princess."
"We'll take these enemies. You all protect the princess!" Siege said.
"Oh yeah! We're gonna bash down these freaks." Bakugo said jumping into the fray in a nearby outpost.
"We need to clear a path for the Princess. We cannot allow any harm to come to her." Leopardmon said.
Freyja would take this comment to force, as she soon cleaved a path forward for the group, bombarding enemies trying to close it off. "There's your opening! Go!"
The group advanced through the path made by Freyja to get Zelda to safety. Freyja, to ensure that the path would stay clear, tried her best to keep up with the group, while pushing and knocking enemies away using her immense nightmare magic attacks.
"Okay, so far so good." Akane said. "Just need to power through."
"Uh...we might need to rethink that. Look!" Tsuyu said as rising from the ground was a large Stone Talus.
"You've got to be kidding. More of those things?" Guy asked.
"Calm down. They're just a bunch of golems. We can handle them." Zamazenta said.
"A few golems aren't going to stop us." Freyja said, preparing her magic to clear the way.
"I'm glad you're on our side." Adora said.
"Besides, these things have the same weakness as the other variation. The big stone on its back." Elementa said striking it with a hunk of earth.
They continued to bash against the Stone Talus before bringing it down to its knees as it fell to bits.
"Phew...nice one. Didn't think we'd make it for a moment there." Impa said.
"But we still managed to pull through." Cheetah said.
"Yep. Cases like this are pretty much the norm where we're from." David said.
"More and more monsters have been appearing lately. A sign that the calamity draws near. Yet, there is no sign of my power awakening." Zelda said.
"And let me guess, you feel as though you're questioning your place in all of this?" Cheetah asked. "I...know I'm not much of an expert on this kind of thing, but… Perhaps you shouldn't look at the situation by comparing your own progress to those of others."
"Yeah. I mean, look at Link." Twilight said. "He's still the same boy even with that new sword of his."
"Hmm...thank you, both of you." Zelda said.
It wasn't long after that they returned to the castle. With the four pilots and the knight with the key to defeating the calamity...In the ceremony grand, these five heroes convened, and King Rhoam bestowed upon them the title of Champions. The people gave cheer, the ceremony drew to a close, and the Champions and heroes enjoyed a moment of rest.
"Well, we have all the pieces on the board to fight the Calamity. Link, the four champions, and of course, you princess." Impa said.
"Erm… I think you've forgotten someone." Cheetah said motioning to the little Guardian.
"Look, this thing is not a part of…" Impa said as it slapped her hand away. "Don't be so...hey! Cut that out. Oh, you troublesome teapot." she said chasing the little Guardian around.
"Whoa, whoa, hey! Careful, careful! Don't knock us down while you're at it." David said.
"So, Daruk, about what we discussed earlier?" Mipha asked.
"Oh, your training? Seems like you're ready to begin, eh? Let's get to it!" Daruk said.
"Thank you. I hope to become stronger so that I can fight...alongside…" Mipha looked at Link. "Oh uh...it's not what you…"
"Hey! If you must fight, do it away from me." Revali said as the guardian was going around him along with Impa. "That's it." he said taking flight as they all laughed. "How asinine."
"Dude seriously needs to learn to lighten up." Agito said.
"Don't worry, Agito. My experience with Revali is that he's not as condescending as he lets out to be." David said. "Sometimes attitudes like that are coping mechanisms for insecurities. Believe me, I would know."
"I heard that!" Revali called out.
"We meant for you to!" Captain Cold said as they kept laughing.
