The Ocean Universe. A mysterious universe where as far as the eye can see, you can only see a vast unending sea. No one knows what lies beneath its watery depths. However, for one group of heroes...they've taken the chance to…
"Cannonball!" Ibuki called out as she and a couple of others jumped into the ocean by jumping off the Sunny.
To take some much needed R and R.
"Wow, I haven't seen much ocean like this since we were in Lental." Leilani said, setting up a fishing net before looking up to the sky.
"That's the Ocean Universe for you. Nothing but the ocean as far and wide as you can go." Hope said.
"It's great we're taking some time to relax. We've been going on a lot of adventures lately." Sakura said.
"Yeah, and after the battle for Arba, we definitely needed this." Lei said, tanning in her swimsuit next to the Baneful and Vampiric Sisters with Kagura asleep once again.
"This is pretty nice." Sunset said. "Just us out at sea."
"Yeah...I mean...how often do we just hang out like this?" Twilight said.
"I know it's been awhile for...wah!" Kazuichi said slipping and falling into the sea and taking Kaito with him.
"What the heck?" Kaito asked.
"Sorry. I slipped and…" Kazuichi said as they saw fins circling around. "Uh...any chance you guys are dolphins and not sharks?"
One shark then rose right out of the sea as they screamed.
"Hey. Watch it!" Ajna said as she jumped into the ocean. "You got a bone to pick with them, you gotta do it with me."
The sharks were about to attack before they suddenly turned tail and swam away.
"Huh. I didn't know you were that threatening, Ajna." Kazuichi said.
"Yeah...I got a knack for it." Ajna said.
"Uh...pretty sure they were running 'cause of that." Kaito said, pointing to large black clouds in the sky.
"It's a stormfront!" Ichiro said.
"Uh oh...Breeze told me all about how dangerous storms in the Ocean Universe can be… everyone in the water, back on the Sunny!" Hope called.
"All storms are dangerous. They're storms!" Nami said as the waves started to get rough.
"Hold on to something!" Lana said.
"Don't think that's going to help against that!" Mina said pointing to the large tidal wave quickly approaching them.
"Oh Sugar Honey Ice Tea." Kagura said.
The wave soon crashed into them as things went dark for the group.
"Ugh...what...was…" Jexi groaned as he soon awoke to find himself and the group in a small village. "Huh?"
"Good...they're starting to wake." a voice said. The few who were waking turned their heads to a young girl in blue with a flower in her flowing red hair.
"What happened…? Where are we?" Sectonia asked.
"Koholint Island. I brought you here after I found you all passed out next to your lion ship." she said.
"Lion Ship… Ah, that's right. The Sunny. It got hit by that massive tidal wave." Sectonia said. "Surprised it survived."
"Hey...don't underestimate it. It is built with the strongest wood in the world." Franky said.
"Anyway...welcome. My name is Marin and I hope you all are okay. Didn't seem like anyone was injured." she said.
"It's nice to meet you Marin. My name's Lana." Lana said as she noticed a familiar boy in green. "Hmm?"
"Oh...that boy, Link, he washed up here the day before you all." Marin said.
"Wait...this...island. I think…" Lana said.
"Well...this has been fun but we really should be going." Eddy said.
"Oh...uh...you won't be able to leave." Marin said.
"Sure we can. We just get on a boat and go." Natsu said.
"I can guarantee you...you can sail out...but you won't see anything beyond the ocean." Marin said.
"She's right." Lana said.
"Lana, you don't think this could be… That place, could you?" Cia asked.
"Definitely." Lana said.
"Uh...anyone want to include us in the conversation?" Iida asked.
"Yeah. Clue us in here. What are you two talking about?" Sectonia asked.
"Let's...talk on the beach." Cia said as they left the village. "As you know...the timeline for Link's history is divided into three paths."
"Uh, yeah. I think I can guesstimate that." Francisca said.
"Anyway...this path, the hero, Link, was defeated by Ganon but Ganon was sealed away by the Seven Sages. This is the Era of Light and Dark." Cia said.
"Yes. We can guarantee this is that era and the name Marin comes up here but...we know nothing of this place." Lana said.
"Well that's just great. We're stuck on this island with nothing but monsters and owls who stare at us with their stupid eyes." Eddy said.
"Hey...who are you calling stupid?" the owl asked.
"Gah! That owl just talked!" Kaito said.
"Of course I can. I am an owl. We are the wisest of the wise. Anyway...you want to get off this island, do you not? I know how." the owl said.
"Please, tell us." Lana said.
"Very well. See that egg on the mountain top?" the owl asked, pointing to the large spotted egg on top of the mountain. "Inside is the Wind Fish. With its power, it could send you back home. However, it lies in a very deep sleep."
"The Wind Fish..." Lana said as she looked to Cia.
"Well how do we wake it?" Hope asked.
"There are eight musical instruments scattered all across this vast island. Gathering them all and playing them will wake the Wind Fish and allow you to leave this island." the owl said.
"I'm guessing it won't be that simple though." Al said.
"No it's simple...as long as you battle the monsters who guard each instrument." the owl said.
"And you just said monsters." Usopp said.
"Not like we expected anything less at this point." Kabuki said. "Do we have a place to start?"
"On this beach is a place known as the Tail Cave. The first instrument happens to be inside." the owl said.
"Thanks. We'll go straight there." Kendo said.
"I would advise caution though. Monsters lurk in the places the instruments are hidden." the owl said.
"We'll take on whatever comes our way." Ajna said.
They headed into the cave's entrance, immediately being set upon by skeleton warriors.
"Skeletons...way too easy." Jexi said as they beat through them before entering the next room.
"So...we finally have warriors entering our place." a voice said as a pink monster emerged. "I'm Rolling Bones...you could call me the vice boss of this place. And you guys...will not pass!" he said, tossing spiked rollers down across the floor as they rolled towards the group.
"Jump!" Lana said.
The group hopped over the rollers as they headed up towards Rolling Bones.
"Impossible!" Rolling Bones said before he was quickly cut down.
"Yeah...you were just really weak." Bakugo said.
They moved past the fallen monster before going into the final chamber where a large bug-like creature with many legs dwelled.
"So...outsiders have decided to enter my lair. Word of advice: if you value your lives...turn back now." it said.
"An Insectoid… I think you'd best stay out of this, Gonta. I don't think you'll be comfortable fighting it." Kaede said.
"Gonta understand." Gonta said.
"Oh...sending out your strongest huh? You put yourself at a disadvantage against the powerful Moldorm." the monster said.
"We can manage with what we have. Apologies in advance, Gonta. We'll make up for this later." Revali said.
"Cause we gotta crush this bug." Akane said, doing a kick to its body but nothing happened. "What?"
"Hahaha! Fools. You cannot even hope to pierce my armor like body." Moldorm said charging them as they jumped out of the way.
"Normal attacks won't work on an armor like that. We have to aim for its weak spot." Sectonia said.
Moldorm charged again as he rammed into the cave wall, causing some rocks to fall. As one hit his tail, he yelped in pain a bit.
"Huh, that was easy to spot." Simon said as he pulled out Takemikazuchi and slammed it onto Moldorm's tail, dealing more damage.
"Gah!" Moldorm cried out as he scurried about rapidly.
"It's over…" Shuichi said as he took aim and blasted Moldorm's tail.
"This...cannot be...I fall...here?" Moldorm said as his body segments all exploded as he faded away into nothing.
"Looks like that did it." Odd said as a bright light filled the room.
"Another enemy?" Aria asked before they saw a large instrument descending downward. "A violin?"
"It's actually a cello." Brook said.
"The Full Moon Cello…' a voice echoed. "Only seven of the sirens instruments remain. The next one...lies deep within the swamp. Go to where the flowers bloom…"
"Guess that's a clue to the next instrument. A swamp, and blooming flowers." Glimmer said.
"Then that's our next location." Simon said, picking up the Moon Cello as it played a melody.
And so began the group's adventure across this small island, facing its great trials.
