Hey there folks. I've been very busy with all sorts of stuff these past few weeks, so i couldn't really do anything major, so in the small amounts of time I had in between, I decided I would do a story that was a bit more relaxed. not meant to be the best, not meant to entirely make sense, but just something that would be fun to write. Hopefully this one is a little bit better than my last try though. Anyway, let's go!
Super hero time!
Lilith: The shattered moon looks so beautiful at , this world has all sorts of terrifying monsters to battle Link, Zelda!
Zelda: to be swallowed by what essentially equates to the earth... how horrible!
Lilith: Hey wait, how does a shattered moon even work anyway? wouldn't that throw all sorts of stuff out of wack?
Zelda: That's true, but at least we can rest knowing there aren't any blood moons.
L + Z: Don't forget me! The hero has come!
Link, he… he wasn't sure how to feel. When he had been first appointed Zelda's personal knight, when he had first promised himself to the royal family that he would never let a single hair upon her person be harmed, he had expected his days to be spent by the princess' side watching over as she grew into the queen she was set to be. Whether it be the stray monsters that were foolish enough to believe that the princess would be without guard or simply some hooligans that had let their drinks drive them to extremes, Link had known from the very start that he was to be a guard, a protector, a fighter.
Then came the horrifying news, the news that a great evil beyond any one could imagine was attempting to lay siege to the kingdom. In no time at all, efforts were forced into unearthing incredible forces of technology from the Sheikah of old, towering beasts that were to be piloted by the strongest of heart and soul. Gerudo, Zora, Hylian, Rito and Goron all offered up their greatest fighters in order to pilot these divine beasts and wield the sword of evil's bane against the coming calamity, the princess herself dedicating her every moment to awakening the power needed to drive off the coming evil.
Needless to say, things had escalated rather quickly. Battles were waged, technology was deployed and counters were put into action. Ruin ravaged the earth as evil scorched all it came across and yet in the end through endless courage, wisdom and power, holy power finally destroyed the horrific creature known as Calamity Ganon. Many lives had been sacrificed, over a hundred years spent in fear, mourning and anger… but they finally managed to see the end of the foul evil that plagued the land.
Now however, it was as if he had little to do. Sure, he still was the guardian of the princess, but what little nuisances remained were hardly taxing on his skills. Not even the sight of a blood moon was able to make him fearful as he once was, barely armed with more than a branch and incredibly weak as he saw the few monsters he had managed to kill be brought back to life in mere moments. Now, it was mostly conversing with the different civilisations, ensuring each and every one could remain prosperous.
The title was about all that remained the same. Hyrule Castle, though no longer tainted by immeasurable evil and malice, was no longer habitable. Though it had taken him a fair bit of money and supplies, he came back to a perfectly fine house on the edge of Hateno village. While it had admittedly been a shock to the princess after living in a rather luxurious lifestyle, she soon found herself warming up to the quaint life. There was no longer the terrible fate potentially waiting for him bearing down upon his shoulders. Life was… peaceful.
"Ah, Link! I've found some remarkable technology, look at this!" Princess Zelda. Though she had been locked within the cursed castle, battling Calamity Ganon for a hundred years without rest, she barely looked above seventeen. Well, neither did he, but he had the help of a shrine dedicated to the preservation and restoration of bodies; it was purely her own powers that kept Zelda as youthful as she was. Garbed in the blue and white shirt deemed the colours of royalty, the magnificent blonde was absolutely glowing, as she always was whenever she made a discovery she was eagerly to deliver. Her boots remained caked in mud, as did the lower section of her trousers – she had been rummaging about in the Guardian remains it seems. "I never imagined I would find something like this on a simple walk, take a guess!"
Always excitable when it came to her research. Green eyes twinkled with cheerfulness as she stretched upon her tiptoes, Zelda's eagerness not even letting her close the door to their house behind her. While she was certainly not the most manners-strict person, she still usually obeyed typical etiquette, only breaking from said etiquette when it meant she could show off. There was only one response Link could think of.
"No, it is not an edible rock steak! Come on Link, take me seriously!" so he hadn't managed to whisper it quietly enough then. It had taken a while for Zelda to warm up to his personality, the image of her father trying to control her life too strong to throw away so quickly. Luckily, it hadn't taken long for them to form a friendship, one that had, ultimately become something even more given time. Perhaps it was the easy way he was able to talk with her, the way that Link always had a joke that brought a smile to Zelda's face. No matter what, it hadn't taken much convincing for him to bring her into his humble abode. "It's a small scale weapon comparable to those used by the Guardians! With this, we may not need to be so dependent upon the Akkala research lab for ancient arrows!"
They had been rather expensive to make, even if the materials quickly became rather plentiful over the course of his adventure across Hyrule. It appeared to be a sideways bow of sorts, a small place for her finger to rest upon the grip quickly sending out a blue bolt that seared the walls with black. A pointed look had the princess giggling awkwardly; royalty as she was, her excitement did lead to her acting rather childish at times.
"Though I suppose things such as this are rather useless now, aren't they?" Zelda remarked, letting the weapon fall to the table as a quick pull of a chair allowed her to lean upon Link's shoulder. "The number of monsters seen has reduced greatly with Calamity Ganon's fall. While it's a shame to think that such an incredibly invention will be reduced to a hunting tool, I'm glad we won't have to face such a terrible fate any time soon."
He honestly could've stayed like that for the rest of his life, nothing to think about save for the wonderful girl by his side. Many had secretly moved forth to speak about their jealousy that he had managed to ensnare the heart of the princess, but what could he say? So long had he waited to see her smile once more…
A sudden noise had the Hylian leaping from his chair, Zelda letting out a cute little yelp as she lost her balance. Link paid no attention to it however, one of the stands that decorated the walls quickly losing the sword it was proudly displaying as he moved the princess back. The back of Link's mind was actually quite happy. After however long he had been fighting to defeat Calamity Ganon and free the princess from her struggle, leaving the Master Sword as nothing more than a wall ornament or ceremonial weapon seemed quite a waste. All too soon however, the source of the noise was quickly revealed and what was found left both blondes gaping.
"Pure Malice…" it was swirling like a vortex before them, darkness given physical form filling the doorway before they even had a chance to react. With but a moment of shaking, very soon the weapons and shields left hanging on the wall were sucked in one by one, Zelda far too slow to stop her recent discovery from joining them in the dark abyss. It was clear what it was trying to do, even if it held no place in Hyrule anymore.
Only issue was, it didn't seem as if he could do anything about it. His footing was slowly giving way and the princess had always held far more magical prowess than physical. As soon as he started to be sucked in, the princess desperately took hold of his hand despite his choked protests.
"I will not let you be consumed by the darkness Link!" her hand glowed with a holy light, but a hundred years was bound to take its toll on a person; it did little more than simply disrupt the portal, an angry wailing coming from within as it grew more unstable, the attracting force was growing by the second and before they could try anything else, they were sucked in after their possessions, the portal suddenly blinking out of existence the moment they were completely within. Though there were none to hear it, a dark chuckle emanated from the darkest depths of Hyrule castle, wisps fading away in the sunlight.
Link first awoke to the sight of deactivated ancient technology and various outfits scattered around him, still sitting upon their various mounts and manikins. He was in an unknown location, which meant unknown dangers; without hesitation, each and every weapon was sequestered upon his person, the champion's tunic he had let be used only for ceremonial purposes sitting upon his body once more, the Hylian Shield taking its place on his forearm. Until the princess by his side managed to regain consciousness, they were sitting ducks and boy did he not like that idea.
They were in a forest, trees of red decorating the horizon with the scent of fresh leaves falling upon Link's nostrils. That couldn't be right however, the trees outside his home had only just been picked for their fruits, it was still the prime of summer! Sure, there were a few species of trees that naturally took on a red hue all year, but they were few and far between; he had no clue where he could be.
"Where… where are we? I've never seen a place like this in Hyrule." Zelda muttered as she rubbed her eyes. Mere seconds after waking up and she was already analysing the surrounding area her hands moving to the Sheikah slate to pull up what seemed to Link to be an endless trove of information. "None of these trees directly relate to any of the images we hold, that should be impossible!"
Had anyone else said that, you wouldn't have been mistaken for believing they were alarmed. While Link wasn't so foolish as to believe his princess was completely calm after the incredibly random event that had brought them here, nothing could distract her better than a new discovery. The slightest rustle however had the knight stepping forward, Zelda far too absorbed with taking pictures of the crimson trees to take notice. The footsteps seemed too heavy for a wild fox or boar and considering how dense the trees were, there was little chance it could be a horse. A moblin?
Turns out, it wasn't. Or at least, it wasn't a moblin he was familiar with. A bone-like mast sat atop a lupine form, the creature snarling as it slouched forward. Beady red eyes glared at the two Hylians before it, Zelda slowly moving behind Link when she caught a glimpse of the wicked claws that threatened to slice them to pieces. The spikes protruding from its limbs merely made it all the more threatening.
But not to Link.
The Master Sword gleamed with a blue energy as the knight drew it from its sheathe. While an arduous trial had meant that it would always be awakened with its true power, it had originally only reached such perfection when in the face of true evil and though it may not appear any different, Link could already hear the hums of warning coming from the blade. This creature of black, it was considered just as dark and evil as the creations of Calamity Ganon… there was no time to waste.
The beast struck forth, its claws bringing sparks to the Hylian shield as Link pushed the offending appendage to the side. The Master Sword met spikes, the incredibly might of the monster pushing Link back for a brief moment before it reared back, ready to strike once more. That was its mistake for as soon as it took its swing, the beast mere millimetres away from his flesh… Link dodged.
And the world slowed down.
Zelda couldn't help but watch in amazement every time he did it. Initially, she had been rather put out with how Link always went and put himself in the brink of danger but the sheer speed the boy countered at was unparalleled. In moments, the Master Sword became little more than a blur as it struck the darkness, a fierce cry filling the air as the beast was sliced down with little effort. It was almost as if time slowed down for a brief period, only for Link to flip backwards and with sword raised, swing down with all his might, a swirling disc of energy slicing the creature in half.
A quick flick downward had whatever dark residue upon the steel removed, a sharp movement making sure the coast is clear before he returned to his princess. There was always the chance of a settlement after all, Link offering the strange weapon Zelda had found back to the, who accepted it with a nervous smile.
"A part of the land where the darkness continues to fester… I had hoped it wouldn't be so." Zelda said as she turned her eyes to the air. There wasn't the same innate heaviness to the air that was associated with the corrupted Hyrule castle (save for the rapidly dissolving remains of the beast beside them) and yet there appeared to be monsters born of the darkness. "Ganon gave up his chances for reincarnation though, how could his influence remain still?"
While incoming darkness was indeed a dangerous situation, they were probably best off first trying to find a village first. At least then they would be able to find out where they actually were and maybe even have a chance at figuring out the source of the issue.
"You're right Link. Please. Lead the way." There was a massive tower in the distance, just like those that allowed his slate to gain a picture of the world; if he managed to approach it, would he be able to gain a map of this area as well? The massive bird like creature patrolling the sky too drew their attention and even in the cautious environment they were in; Zelda couldn't help the intrigue that welled up within her.
"I've never known these creatures in all my life. Could it that Calamity Ganon has somehow brought forth new creatures to terrorise the land?" the princess suggested, Stepping back when a second of the odd wolf creatures threatened to render them into pieces. "An unknown part of Hyrule, one where the Calamity continues on, perhaps it was fate that brought us here."
Link couldn't help but agree as he withdrew the Master Sword from another of the creatures, the remains melting away like so much snow on a hot hand. They definitely acted like the mindless blights, seeking only to kill and do little else where even the many normal monsters sought to live relatively civilised (if primitive) lives when they weren't threatening people. The tower at least was a suitable target for them to follow, plenty of experience moving through forests and woods having them moving at a fairly reasonable pace. While they had yet to produce any more than single monsters for him to face, Link couldn't help the slight sense of trepidation that coloured his actions as he steadily moved forward, the path slowly clearing up as the two approached a more open area. The distance gradually grew clearer, buildings unlike any either had seen before showing their immense size, some even managing to reach the grandiose levels of the temple of time when it was untouched.
"Where on Hyrule have we managed to end up? Surely such a developed region would not be unknown to the royal family." Zelda muttered, her excitement offset by the amount of caution that flooded her body. "Link, though the threat of being attacked is as real as ever, I must approach this as a proper dignitary of the crown. Unfortunately, you know what that must entail."
The smallest of sighs escaped Link. He knew clearly what that meant – as soon as they met society once more, he would be forced to stand by in silence while whatever official discussions were to be had occurred and considering that they would be conversing with a place that had developed entirely without the knowledge of the Hyrulean royal family, discussions were bound to be lengthy. It wasn't the silence aspect that made him upset, it was more the fact that he never really did have a flair for these sorts of things; he spent the majority of the time bored out of his mind.
"I'm surprised you managed to find yourselves here in the Forever Fall forest. Tell me, what are you doing here?" the voice that greeted them was jovial and considering the stance the white haired man held, the least Link could do was put away the Master Sword as he took his place behind his princess. His first inspection wasn't too great in all honesty – dressed in a strange suit of black with a green shirt and scarf, he didn't hold the image of one who was well versed in the art of combat. The eyes however, the slightest tensing of his muscles – those were what spoke of a man who was more than met the eyes. Perhaps he should keep his sword out. "After all, save for Beacon students, very few choose to come out here of their own will thanks to the Grimm."
"Grimm, is that the name you have for those wolf like beasts of darkness? Interesting…" Zelda remarked as she very quickly typed the name down upon the Sheikah slate, rapidly hiding it upon her back hook with all of the grace of her station. "Well it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Princess Zelda of the Hyrulean royal family. Seeing as there has been no record of you in Hyrule, is it fair to say you know not of me?"
"Hyrule? I've never heard of such a place." The man answered, his blunt tone bringing forth a sound of shock from both Hylians. They didn't even know the name of the land they were on? "Tell me, you claim yourself a princess – how is there a kingdom that none of the other present Kingdoms know of? Pardon me, I haven't mentioned my name. I am Professor Ozpin, headmaster of Beacon Academy. According to your words, I dare say you haven't heard of me either."
"You can't speak the truth, of course the Zora, Gerudo, Rito and Goron know of us!" wait, so they were saying there were other kingdoms, yet they didn't know of their names? How odd could this be? A dark look appeared upon the so called Professor's face, the white haired man turning with a sharp look towards the Princess.
"I believe we have much to discuss. Please, will you join me in my office?"
Link had never seen such a strange office in his life. While his choice of career meant he hadn't exactly been to many in his life time, he still knew enough to understand that the walls and floor shouldn't be composed of moving parts, steadily ticking away as they followed the strange man who had introduced himself as Ozpin. He had a casual manner to him, though he couldn't ever hope to completely hide the skill that was as much a part of him as his arm or leg.
Zelda however was positively eating it all up, her eyes glimmering as she tried her hardest to take in all she could. Several strange Guardian like constructions had flew high above them but they lacked the ancient Sheikah designs, plain grey soaring through the sky and it seemed as if tools such as the Sheikah slate had been made on a mass level. Just how advanced were these isolated people? Well, the knight said isolated, the truth was looking to be something far more strange.
The Princess and the man had been conversing seemingly endlessly through the journey to the buildings that seemed so far in the distance, Ozpin only letting his surprise at the woman's claims meet his face for the briefest of moments before he continued onwards. There was something about his visage that had the Hylian on edge, almost as if they were already being put into a strange position before they had even met.
"So you say you are the princess of a land known as Hyrule?" Ozpin recalled, the man settling behind his desk with a mug clenched in hand, Zelda nodding delicately. "Well I'm afraid that we've never heard of a place called such and the sentient species you've shown us have never been seen at all in the entirety of Remnant."
So this place was called Remnant was it? As loathe as he was to admit it, there was only many reasons why a location could avoid knowing of an entire Kingdom and all of the societies within. It was if the scientific mind of the Princess would be able to reach the same conclu-
"I see. Then the foul darkness that swallowed us must've sent us into an entirely different world!"
Well that was surprisingly easy and apparently, Ozpin thought so as well.
"I will admit, I was fully expecting you to avoid that idea at all costs. Nobody likes to think they've been sent to an entirely different world after all." The Headmaster stated, taking a sip of his coffee as Zelda mulled the words over. "It's simply the fact that we've explored a large amount of land and the land that we have not is usually uninhabitable by people, no matter what species they are."
"That is true and I naturally wish to return to my kingdom and people as fast as possible. But the thought of visiting another world, one with what appears to be a completely different geography, technology level and fauna selection is incredible! No one else may have this chance save for me and Link!" the princess declared, Link letting a small smile grace his face. She was beautiful in the setting sunlight, the Hylian was reminded. "Besides, I would be remiss in my duties to Hyrule if I got to experience such wonderful technologies and could not bring at least some news back."
"A fair reason. I can't see ourselves developing a way for you to return so quickly to a home we know little about… fortunately for you, there's no better place to gather information than a school, especially one as prestigious as my own." Ozpin answered, throwing his arms wide weakly. "If you wish, I can certainly arrange for you to be situated here while we try and find a way for you to return to this Hyrule. Perhaps it could even evolve into a two way trade."
This was going far too smoothly in Link's opinion, usually there was a bit more negotiation, debate of some sort. It must've slipped through to his face for the brief moment that he caught Ozpin's gaze, the man let out a knowing noise.
"Of course, you've come into contact with the Grimm have you not?" the white haired man continued, not waiting for an answer. "My cameras managed to see your bodyguard in action, he is incredibly skilled."
"Cameras? Ah, you said they were like the image rune on the Sheikah slate, yes. I will not deny Link's skills in battle. He is the greatest in our Kingdom!" Zelda praised, turning her bright smile upon Link. He merely gave a slight nod in return, Ozpin's appraising look unreadable. "He has faced many creatures born of evil before. There are few who could match him on the field of battle."
The smile that appeared on the man's face did more than disturb Link.
"Well, perhaps we could sweeten our deal a little bit. You see, this is a school dedicated to teaching the next generation the art of defeating Grimm and whatever may threaten the security of our Kingdoms and it is rather hard to find appropriate fighters who are willing to teach the youths in anything over than an apprenticeship and the military becomes rather touchy when we ask their hunters." The Headmaster explained. "There is a woman here called Glynda Goodwitch who is both the deputy headmaster and the teacher for combat studies, where students practice their skills against over people. If she were to have a replacement who could teach combat studies in her place, then she would be able to more appropriately do her deputy duties."
"You wish for Link to be a teacher? How interesting." Zelda mused, her eyes immediately judging Link's body in a way that made him ever so slightly uncomfortable. Goddesses, he had managed to face the epitome of evil and yet here he was feeling in danger of his own Princess. "I don't know whether he would be suitable for a teaching pos-"
"Naturally, we would also allow you to sample many of our technologies and potentially keep some."
Well, the light looks that came from the princess turned into the strongest puppy eyes that Link had ever been faced with. The forbidden move, it had a greater strength than even the Master Sword against Calamity Ganon! When they were pulled out, there was only one way he could bend.
Whichever way Zelda wanted him to bend.
Not that he wouldn't have in the first place.
How was he meant to be a teacher though? Sure, he had his weapons and had been training against people from an extremely young age, but did that make him properly suited for a job teaching? He highly doubted Zelda would also be thrusted into the position, meaning it also left the princess vulnerable whenever he was stuck in a classroom. But those eyes…
He gave a firm nod. He would at least be able to teach them something, if nothing too major. Ozpin's smile grew at the same time as the Princess' his mug raised in gratitude.
"Of course, I wouldn't be thrusting you into a full on teaching position. That would be utterly ridiculous considering I know nothing about your skills and from the looks of things, you haven't taught once in your life." Ozpin admitted, chuckling at the sigh of relief that escaped Link. "I can see it in you though, you are a proud warrior much greater than those who study here. To ask you to do anything lower would be an insult to the skills you don't even have to show. You're also hiding much more than simply the sword upon your back. The cameras managed to capture a little sight of other items falling beside you. I won't ask you to reveal what you do not wish to, but I'm certain surprise may prove to be a nice advantage on your side."
Well, the deal was sealed now, wasn't it? in exchange for assistance trying to get back home, he was now being put in a position where he would teach the next generation as if he was an actual teaching assistant. When he was being swallowed by the dark portal, this was not where he thought he would've ended up. Princess Zelda looked happy with the deal though, if the way she smiled meant anything.
"Isn't this wonderful Link? Now, we can return home with news of all new creations and plant life while ensuring that the darkness is truly gone for good!" the blonde declared, standing from her seat to grab Link's hand enthusiastically. Ozpin however, had yet to finish.
"Let it be known however, while we cannot be certain that it is entirely the same considering the difference between our worlds that we've managed to establish, there a chance that you will face great prejudice." The Headmaster declared, Zelda tilting her head in confusion.
"Is it because we're not true students at this Academy?" the Princess enquired.
"Not at all. The issue is your ears." Link reached up to delicately touch the long ears that sat upon the side of his head. What could be the issue with ears of all things? They had never proven to be troublesome before. "Allow me to properly explain. You see, those who bear features that are not native to the normal human, such as ears like yours or any other sort of animalistic feature, are known as faunus. They have been under heavy oppression and abuse and though times change, the sentiment is still felt. Be warned that there will be those who may ignore your status as a perfectly normal warrior or princess simply because of your ears."
It sounded utterly ridiculous. To abuse one who simply looked different was no better than degrading your neighbours simply because they had more than a tan due to labour. From the lack of mention, Link could only assume they still talked the same language, they still ate the same things and could do all the same stuff – why having ears that were different meant anything was anyone's question.
"Though being referred to as animalistic is certainly a first, I'm not one to turn away someone's caution. Thank you. Do you happen to have anywhere we could rest for now?" the Princess suggested, answered by the ring of an elevator bell.
"Ah, it looks as if your guide has arrived. Miss Goodwitch, would you be so kind as to guide these to the dorms? The necessary information should be on your scroll right now." Ozpin introduced, the blonde woman that walked in scowling slightly as she nodded. She had been reading the scroll the entire journey here and from the looks of it, she wasn't taking it at all well.
"Understood Headmaster. Please, come this way." No more was said, for she turned upon her foot with one last look and started walking away, a clear message to her body –she would be talking to Ozpin later when she wasn't with company. With a look between one another, all Link and Zelda could do was follow along. It wasn't as if they anything else they could do at the moment. Goodwitch did not let out a single word as they walked and whatever questions Zelda asked only received the smallest possible answers; if Link wasn't so sure she hadn't received a proper explanation, he was almost ready to draw his sword for all of the disrespect shown.
"This shall be your accommodation, apparently. I will admit it, I do not believe your story for one moment." Goodwitch stated bluntly as soon as she opened the door. "I have little to go off of, but Ozpin is a man who is far more willing to go with his curiosity than his logic, hence why he was already making arrangements for you to be situated here before he even finished talking to you. Though I don't believe that he would do this without reasons, know that I shall have my eye on you."
The key was tossed into Link's hands in mere moments, both blondes turning to one another silently as their guide stepped out of the room and doubtlessly towards the Headmaster's office. Link couldn't exactly blame Goodwitch, he had expected there to be far more disagreement and conflict when it came to this; to literally go from being put into a new world into being put into a school with the aim of teaching the people to fight was just moving a little too fast for him.
"Well, she was somewhat unpleasant to speak with, wasn't she?" Zelda sighed, looking around the rather bare room. Link wasn't exactly one for outrageous decorations, but there was something distinctly… empty about the room. It held all the necessities, beds, a set of drawers, a cupboard and a bathroom, but there was just something lacking about it all. "Still, considering how easily the man conceded to our presence, it was bound to be met with some disagreement. I apologise for putting you up so easily, but I couldn't help but think of all of the culture we could bring back home. Besides, I would not be able to sleep at night knowing that I've left these people when they too are under the threat of darkness. Though my power has waned, let's at least do all we can to stop this threat here and now, okay?"
He was at least of the same mind with that. There was no point in wielding a blade that could seal away the darkness and simply letting the darkness continue to fester after all. Sure, it would mean perhaps giving up some techniques his teachers had classified as restricted to the Hylian army, but the princess wouldn't have put him up if she wasn't willing to make such sacrifices for the advancement of both worlds.
"Darn it. I had hoped that the Amiibo rune would at least give us some hint of how to get home." Zelda muttered as she lowered the Sheikah slate. How could he not have thought about it? The Amiibo rune, one of the most mysterious functions of the slate Link had discovered; somehow, it managed to harness enough energy to form portals that brought forth gifts of food, weapons and armour from who knows where. Considering the sheer variety of items it had given Link throughout his adventure, the idea of it connecting to different worlds wasn't as hard to take in as it probably should've. But the portals through which the items appeared never lasted long – the one that dropped off the treasure chest at the door of the room had only lasted for a brief mome- wait.
A treasure chest had appeared once more, the same stone box that he had come across countless times on his journey. At first glance, that might not appear to be too interesting, but one look outside the window showed that there was little reason for the world they were in Remnant, to feature such an basic chest; they were still connected to Hyrule or at least, wherever the portals produced were connected to. All they had to do was make the portal a bit more sustainable and see whether they could travel back and forth.
"I see, that's true!" Zelda said, looking to the slate with a new sense of wonder before a slight grimace returned to her face. "However, no matter how much research I do, I can barely comprehend even the smallest part of this technology. Now that we have no access to our libraries, I fear the situation is even worse than it was before."
But there was the odd item that seemed similar that this world had, the 'scrolls' that Ozpin spoke about. At first glance, they seemed to at least have the image function, even if they didn't hold the same combat prowess that the Sheikah had implemented. Surely that meant some aspects were similar and if they were producing it on as large as scale as had been suggested, that meant they must know exactly how they worked.
"Yes! Perhaps we may even learn of how the Guardians came to function, we could unlock so many secrets of the past simply because of a strange incident! Link, when did you suddenly become the better puzzle solver out of the two of us?" the princess cheekily cried out in delight, said Hylian merely rubbing the back of his head. It was simply thinking things through – usually, he was simply looked upon as the brawn of any group or the strategist in battle rather than everyday life. Not that you could call this an everyday occurrence. "Do you think this world would have an equivalent to the Divine Beasts as well? No, no, we should wait to confirm whether they even have the same technology as us – ours is ancient yet theirs is modern, who knows how different they could end up being?"
This was the Zelda he preferred, not the stuffy one who was forced to come out whenever she had to do something as princess. It was far more comforting to him and he needed as much comfort as he could get at the moment even if he didn't show it upon his face. Being in an unfamiliar world has his danger sense tingling in anticipation.
He didn't like it one bit.
So like I said, may not make sense, may go too fast, but it's just something a little fun. I don't really know all too much about RWBY, so I may purposefully change some stuff or do so accidentally. One thing I am definitely going to alter though is just what certain things in Link's arsenal can do, but just what will change? Well, keep reading to find out!
Super hero time! See you next time
