Chapter Four
"Link, where are we?" Zelda, Princess of Hyrule, asked the Hero Of Time. Link and the others watched the new surroundings for movement, none came. The hero, six sages, princess, horse, fairy, and maid looked worried at their new surroundings. The Sacred Realm's magical chamber was replaced by tall green trees like the trees in the Kokiri Forest of Hyrule.
Link unsheathed his legendary blade and cocked his ears to hear the forest better. "I'm not sure your highness," Link watched the trees with worry and concern, "Malon, mount Epona with Zelda. Just in case of attack I want you to ran..." Link's attention was drawn by a sudden shift in the brush.
"It's the wind Link," Saria examined her friend.
"Can never be too careful, Saria."
"Brother, we should scout the area and make camp," Darunia aided. Darunia wasn't really Link's brother, but 12 years ago Link and the Sage of Fire became Sworn Blood Brothers after Link broke the curse on a cave that sat near Goron City; Darunia's kingdom.
"I will go, Darunia," Link sheathed his sword.
"No, Link you can't go alone!" Zelda proclaimed from her position behind Malon, on Epona's back.
"Princess, Link can handle anything," Ruto argued.
"Then perhaps you should accompany him, Ruto!" Zelda spat back.
"I... ummm.... " Ruto looked to the ground, blushing.
Link approached Epona and the two women, "Zelda, I can handle scouting. Do not fear, I will return." Link gave Zelda a heart-warming smile in hopes it would ease the princess.
"Link, would you like Epona's help?" asked Malon.
"No, Malon that's all right." Malon dismounted and put her arms around Link. Link kissed the red head causing Zelda to twist in jealousy.
"Be careful Link," Malon's eyes twinkled at her love. Link only smiled and made his way into the dense forest. Link, I know that words of affection are not known in your world, but somehow I know that this phrase holds more power in its three words then the Master Sword itself; I love you. Malon looked at the woman atop Epona, And one day Link you too will find these words. And when you do you will speak them to me. And Zelda will be my Honor Maid at our Joining of Souls Ceremony. Malon smiled to herself.
*****
Link lifted his arm to shield has head from a low tree branch, his gaze was always twitching about him. Be careful, Link. Malon's words rang in his ears, careful. A pleasant breeze started to rustle fallen leaves, swing branches, and cause flowers to dance. The breeze felt good against the spring air of this strange place.
Link's mind began to wander, only to find itself back at the dream he'd been having the last 5 years...
"Link when peace returns to Hyrule, we'll have to say good-bye," Princess Zelda of Hyrule watched the blue eyes of the Hero Of Time. Her dusty brown hair, all one length, reached her mid-section. A tiara of gold sat on her forehead, a single ruby set in the center of the tiara. Her elfish ears carried earrings in the shape of the legendary triforce. Blue crystal eyes complimented her lovely, angelic face.
"I understand Zelda," the Hero Of Time met the watchful eyes of the only Hylian Princess. His blonde hair was neatly tucked into his forest green cap. The cap was cone shaped and the tip of the cap reached passed his shoulders. A Hylian Shield was secure on his back and a sword lay sheathed next to his back, underneath the shield. The man's tunic ended at his thighs and under the forest green tunic he wore a white body suit, skin tight.
"Link, give me the Ocarina of Time," Zelda's eyes saddened as Link handed her her ocarina. She lifted the magical instrument to her lips and played...
A sound, muffled yet loud, suddenly entered Link's ears. He knew not what this sound meant; he wished Saria was with him at that moment to tell him what the sound was from. The noise almost sounded... metallic.
I have a bad feeling about this. Link unsheathed his Master Sword and prepared himself for anything.
The bushes ahead of Link began to move. Link steadied his blade and moved his feet to an anchoring position. I was only suppose to be scouting. A black rock came out of the bushes at chest level. A rock!?! Link could see a white hand was holding the strangely shaped rock. Maybe I should attempt contact. "Good evening, stranger," Link moved his sword to a position signaling peace.
A boy came out of the bushes. He was followed by another boy, but these two boys were strange; their ears were rounded like Nabooru's. Gerudos? The first boy, that held the obsidian shaped rock, wore sky blue jeans, a turtleneck the color of burnt coal, and white shoes. His eyes were the color of the forest, his hair the color of the earth. The boy's hair was styled so his long bangs covered one emerald eye. To Link the boy looked dangerous, mysterious, and gentle. The look of both predator and prey; the look of lion and lamb.
The other boy appeared more fragile, gentle, and generous; the appearance of a noblemen. His hair was the color of hay, his eyes the color of the sky or a crystal clear lake. He wore a dusty colored pant, earth colored shoes, and a light pink shirt covered by a purplish vest. "Hello, I'm Quatre Raberba Winner," the gentle boy smiled to the confused Link, "and this is my partner Trowa Barton." The boy motioned to the boy holding the obsidian rock.
They speak Hylian, they could be... friends? "I am called Link," he sheathed his mighty sword and moved forward.
"Link?" Trowa tested the name on his tongue. The Hylian hero nodded yes to the testing of his name.
Camp
"Link's taken too long! I think we should go look for him. He could be hurt or captured by locals," the hysterics of the royal Hylian spread through the small camp. Zelda still sat atop Epona; Malon, however, never remounted after Link left.
"Zelda, Link is fine. He's a big boy and can take care of himself," Malon contradicted Zelda.
"It's YOUR HIGHNESS to you," Zelda turned away from the fiery red head.
"Stop it you too! Did you guys hear that?" Saria, Sage of Forest, looked around their camp worried.
"I did, it sounded like a REALLY hard twig breaking," Nabooru aided.
Nearby two figures
watched the camp full of visitors
"We should just confront them."
"No, we wait."
"What are they?"
"I have no idea."
*****
"So this place is called the Sanq Kingdom. My group and I are in a year called AC 196 and you are called humans. This is most strange to me Quatre, Trowa," Link recited the new information to the two pilots.
"Link, why do you carry a sword?" Quatre couldn't help but watch the massive blade.
"It is called the Master Sword, it is my weapon to which I fight," Link again unsheathed the blade. He looked at it lovingly then laid it against a tree. Quatre noted how Link wasn't worried someone would steal the sword. "Only I can wield this legendary blade."
"Fight?" Trowa asked with one word.
"Yes, I fight Poes, Gold Skulltulas, Gohmas, Peahats, Stalchildren, Wolfos, Redeads, Tektites, Beamos, Lizalfos, Dodongos, Keese, Octaroks, Shaboms, Big Octos, Tailpasarans, Biris, Moriblins, Stalfos, Wall Masters, Blue Bubbles, Floor Masters, Phantoms, Like Likes, Flame Dancers, dragons, Freezards, Stingers, Shell Blades, Spike Balls, amoebas, Green Bubbles, Deadhands, Gibdos, Shadow Beasts, Gerudo Guards, Leevers, Armos, Anubises, Iron Knuckles, Sorceresses, and of course the Evil King. I think I might have left a few enemies out here and there. Would you like me to go over the list again?" Both Quatre and Trowa looked at Link very confused. Trowa had put his gun away and was now trying to grasp all this new knowledge.
"No, that's okay. But what are all of those things? We don't have any of those things here," Quatre asked the Hero Of Time.
"A Poe is a spirit of evil. Gold Skulltulas are..." Link carefully went over every monster he'd ever been up against. Quatre and Trowa told Link what some of his enemies looked like in their world. Link learned his Skulltulas are like spiders and Wolfos are like wolves.
Camp
"We should go now." The dark figured whispered to its partner.
"Fine. Let's go." Two shadowed figures moved out of their hiding places and approached the unknowing visitors.
"Where's Link?" Ruto asked the group.
"How should we know?" Rauru questioned Ruto, irritated. It was at this time the two figures came into view of the visitors.
"Darunia, what are those?" Zelda asked the fire sage.
"I don't know, but they don't look friendly. Prepare to fight!"
Sanq Forest
"That's all really interesting, where are you from again?" Quatre's blue eyes portrayed curiosity to the two other youths.
"Hyrule," Link's ears perked when they heard a distant scream for help. That sounds like Zelda. Oh Sages! "I am sorry Quatre, Trowa, but I hear trouble at my camp. I must go protect them!" Link bound into the forest toward his camp.
Trowa looked at Quatre, "Heero and Duo must have moved in."
"Yeah, we should go assure Link that Heero and Duo are friends," Quatre and Trowa ran after Link.
Camp
"What do you want?" Malon's usually calm blue eyes were now fiery and warning the two new comers to keep their distance.
"Listen lady, just calm down. We don't mean ya any harm, all you have to do is come with us," Duo's indigo eyes cautiously looked at the redhead. She's pretty, but she's not my type.
"I don't think so!" a voice addressed the self-proclaimed God of Death. In moments the Hero Of Time unsheathed his sword and stood between his love and Shinigami.
Duo was thrown for a loop at the sight of the protector. "What! Who are you?"
"I am the Hero Of Time and you, are here by challenged!" Link's calm eyes took on a tint of rage. Before Duo could react Link moved forward, attacking Duo.
Shit! This guy's going to dual it out like some medieval knight. Damn does he know that that thing's sharp? Duo dodged the blows successfully. And what the HELL does he mean I'm challenged? Shit!
Quatre and Trowa burst through the trees and came face-to-face with a woman who looked like a fish. "Link! More have come!" the fish-woman screamed.
"No! It's okay, we're Link's friends," Quatre attempted to calm the fish- woman.
"Friends? Prove it. Where do we come from?" Ruto's purple eyes scanned over the two new boys. She liked this boy who talked to her.
"Link said you came from Hybul," Quatre hoped that that was right.
"Hyrule, Quatre," Trowa corrected.
"Oh thanks, Trowa," the Arabian smiled to the quiet Heavyarms pilot.
"That's correct. I am Ruto, Princess of the Zoras, Sage of Water and Link's ex-romantic other," Ruto extended her hand in peace to the blonde boy.
"I am Quatre Raberba Winner and this is my friend, Trowa Barton." Ruto and Quatre smiled while Trowa surveyed the fight between Duo and Link.
"Ummm... Quatre, Link's trying to kill Duo," Trowa intervened.
"Oh dear. The one you call Duo was trying to take Link's romantic other, Link has challenged him as a result he will surely kill the one called Duo," Ruto looked worried.
"Romantic other?" Quatre asked.
"Yes, I don't know what you call such things here, but that is what we call partners for life," Ruto looked back at the fight, "Link will not stop till one of two things happen. One; Duo gives up his hold on Malon or two; he dies."
Heero walked up to his two other pilots. "Heero, we need to save Duo from Link," Quatre looked to the Perfect Soldier in hopes he would know what to do.
"Hnn.." Heero brought out is gun and raised it level to Link's chest. He fired the gun only once.
Link heard a noise that resembled an explosion followed by the sound of an object speeding through the air at him, he quickly pushed Duo aside and brought his sword up to protect himself. To the four pilots' surprise, Link was successful. The bullet bounced off the blade and embedded itself in a nearby tree. What was that?
"LINK!" Malon pushed past Duo and through her arms around her bewildered romantic other and hugged him.
"That was cool, man. How'd you do that?" Duo walked up to the Hylians, a smiled planted on his goofy lips. Link, seeing Duo's return, pushed Malon behind him and prepared to defend her. "Whoa, cool it man! I don't want the girl, okay," Duo put his arms up in a 'I'm defeated' motion.
Link understood this motion and took one last look at the braided fool and Malon then sheathed his sword. "You are wise to announce defeat before death to the Hero Of Time," Link allowed Malon to hug him again and allowed her a few deep kisses.
Who is this guy? Duo watched the couple and understood the blonde boy's fierceness. They're together. That's why he wanted to kill me. He thought I wanted his girlfriend. Duo smiled to himself. Jennifer'll love this!
Sanq Kingdom
Relena's Institution
Heero, where did you all go so quickly? Relena Peacecraft stood at a large window looking out over her family's kingdom. She tossed out her school uniform for a pair of jean shorts and a white tank-top covered with a loose long sleeve T-shirt. Relena had taken the T-shirt's button up sides and tied them at her waist.
The doors to Relena's office burst open revealing four Gundam pilots, four women, a young man, an old man, a fish woman, a strange bearded man, a young girl with green hair, and a horse. They brought me a circus act! "You can't just burst through Miss Relena's doors like that Heero!" Lucerzia Noin, a woman with purplish tinted hair and violet eyes, grumbled.
"We're sorry Miss Noin, but this is urgent," Quatre defended. Heero, however, said nothing.
"What's going on?" Relena asked, her blue eyes soft and her dusty brown hair was pulled back into a ponytail that reached her hips.
"We found this group in the forest," Duo smiled.
Link pushed forward, "I am told you are royalty."
"That is correct. You are..." Relena extended a hand to Link.
"Link, your highness," Link took Relena's hand and kissed it gently.
"You don't need to kiss HER hand," a voice interrupted the respectful scene.
Link, in one motion, unsheathed the Master Sword once again and brought it to a woman's throat. The woman was small. She had blonde hair and green eyes. Jennifer Darkfall's eyes widened. "Do not speak so ill of your ruler, Miss," Link's voice turned to Relena, "Highness, your laws are different from mine, but I will gladly enforce the death penalty."
"I don't think so PAL!" Duo stepped forward. Shit Jennifer!
"Hmmm... what is your name?"
"Jennifer Darkfall," Jennifer's green eyes shifted from Link to Duo, "Duo." Link looked from Jennifer to Duo and back to Jennifer again.
"It's okay, ummm... what's your name again?" Relena decided it would be a good idea to call off the new soldier; Duo wouldn't be happy if Jennifer died.
"Link, highness. I am called the Hero Of Time, but my friends call me Link," he moved the blade away from Jennifer's neck then quickly sheathed his weapon.
"Shit man!" Jennifer cursed. Link paid her no attention.
"Well, may I be the first to give you thanks and greetings. I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule. Link is Hyrule's savior, he has saved us all from the evils of the Evil King, Ganon. His sword is called the Master Sword, only the Hero Of Time can wield that mystical blade," Zelda smiled.
"I am Princess Relena of the Sanq Kingdom. I'm afraid I have no warriors, but I do have the friendship of the six Gundam pilots," Relena returned the smile.
"You have the friendship of dick," Jennifer spat.
"Argh... Listen Jennifer, you bitch, I will not tolerate such profanities from you!" Relena screamed to the tiny elf-like girl.
"I have a question; what is a bitch?" everyone looked at the blue fish woman.
"Who are you?" Relena asked.
"Oh, how stupid of me. I am Princess Ruto of the Zoras. And am the Sage of Water, I was once Link's romantic other, but when I became a sage we had to cancel the engagement," Ruto looked almost sad at the last comment.
"Is everyone here a princess?" Duo asked sarcastically.
"I'm not," a red head answered the question from the self-proclaimed Shinigami. "My name is Malon. I'm Link's romantic other."
"I'm no princess, but I was the leader of a group of thieves called the Gerudos. I am Nabooru, Sage of Spirit," she put her hands on her hips.
"I am Darunia, Sage of Fire, and the ruler of the Gorons."
"I am Saria, Sage of Forest. I'm just a normal everyday Kokiri," Saria blushed.
"Sage of Light am I. My name is Rauru."
A blue ball of light flew from Link to Relena and said, "I am Navi and the horse is Epona, nice to meet you your highness." The little fairy flew back to Link and hid in his cap.
"I'm Impa and the Sage of Shadow. I was once Zelda's guardian."
After a few hours all questions were asked and answered by either the people of Hyrule or the people of the year After Colony 196. "So you have had other visitors besides us. That is most interesting. Whom are they? Do they come from our world?" Zelda asked.
"No, they come from a city called Tokyo. Now our world has a Tokyo, but these people are magic users so we think they come from another dimension like you did," Quatre answered.
"How many dimensions so you think there are?"
"Don't know," Heero gave Link a glance then closed his eyes.
Link watched each of the pilots closely. They could be lying to us. But why would they? We need to meet these other visitors. "Miss Relena, may we meet the other strangers?" Link asked the blue eyed teen. Link was her age considering he was sent back in time, buy his mind was 5 years older then hers.
"Yes. Duo, will you bring them here?" Relena looked to Shinigami. Jennifer's head rested on Duo's shoulder, her hand on his knee.
"Sure, Quatre you want to come?" Duo asked the Arabian pilot.
"Yeah," Quatre left with Duo.
Hallway
"Duo, don't you think it's weird that all these people are showing up now? Showing up at all?" Quatre didn't look at Duo as he spoke.
"Kinda, but... well... I don't know." Silence fell between the two boys. The only noises being made was the sound of their footsteps on the tile floors. "Hey, Q-man what do you think of the sailor people? Serena reminds me a lot of Relena, only ditzier. And Lita would be perfect for Trowa."
"Well, Athene seems nice," Quatre found himself blushing, he hoped Duo didn't see it; he wasn't so lucky.
"Ahh... Q-man has a crush! How kawaii," Duo chanted in a silly voice.
"Duo, stop it!" Quatre stopped walking.
"Just crakin' on ya Q-man," Duo smiled. So Quatre likes Athene. Not that I blame him, but she seems to.... god what's the word... old? Like she's older then she looks.
"Can we just find them, please?"
"Find who?" a voice asked from behind the two conversing friends, Quatre and Duo turned finding themselves face-to-face with the beauty they had momentarily been discussing.
"Athene! How long have you been there?" Quatre blushed, he hoped like hell she didn't hear Duo's outburst before.
"Just long enough to hear you were looking for someone, why?" Athene's blue gaze melted Quatre. Athene had taken her long honey brown hair and braided it.
"Like the do," Duo smiled.
"Huh?" Athene was momentarily confused, "Oh! The braid, yes. I always braid my hair for training."
"Oh, of course, training," Duo looked to Quatre. What the hell does that mean?
"Anyway, Miss Athene, we need to gather up your group. More have come from another dimension and wish to meet you," Quatre couldn't help but stare at the beautiful girl.
"They are training in the gardens. Bring the others there. I will go ahead and tell Serene and the others," Athene smirked at her usage of her best friend's nickname.
"You got it pretty lady," Duo sang as he grabbed Quatre's arm and bounded down the hall leaving Athene to ponder over everything.
Those two are sure strange. Duo is a funny character, always wanting to crack a joke to ease the pain. And Quatre, well Quatre is too kind. Too innocent. I hope all of this doesn't break his innocence. I am surprised the wars they've already been in haven't caused them all to go insane. Course, Heero and Trowa aren't exactly mentally stable either. They may not be insane, but ... oh... they're all okay the way they are. Athene smiled and turned to go tell her comrades of the new arrivals.
Scouts Training Area
Sanq Kingdom Gardens
A blonde stopped her training to catch her breath. Why are we doing this anyway? Magic doesn't even exist here. We can't even transform! "Luna!" the blonde expressed her thoughts to the guardian cat.
"Mina, you need to train to remain strong! This isn't a vacation!" Luna growled.
"But..." Mina was interrupted.
"Luna, is right Lady Venus," a familiar voice rang in the blonde's ears. All stopped training when they heard that voice. It was the voice of wisdom, the voice of experience, it was a voice that demanded respect, it was a voice that all gave respect too. Mina was the one who spoke to the voice, "But Athene!" Mina paused, "why did you call me, Lady Venus?"
Athene stepped up to the group, "You all need to train. Our fight is not over. We still need to get home. And to do that we need our powers, but you need to be physically stronger to call upon the power of your planets. So train harder, " Athene took a breath, "but not now. We have visitors."

"Zelda, Link is fine. He's a big boy and can take care of himself," Malon contradicted Zelda.
"It's YOUR HIGHNESS to you," Zelda turned away from the fiery red head.

"Listen lady, just calm down. We don't mean ya any harm, all you have to do is come with us," Duo's indigo eyes cautiously looked at the redhead. She's pretty, but she's not my type.
"I don't think so!" a voice addressed the self-proclaimed God of Death. In moments the Hero Of Time unsheathed his sword and stood between his love and Shinigami.
Duo was thrown for a loop at the sight of the protector. "What! Who are you?"
"I am the Hero Of Time and you, are here by challenged!" Link's calm eyes took on a tint of rage. Before Duo could react Link moved forward, attacking Duo.
Shit! This guy's going to dual it out like some medieval knight. Damn does he know that that thing's sharp? Duo dodged the blows successfully. And what the HELL does he mean I'm challenged? Shit!
Quatre and Trowa burst through the trees and came face-to-face with a woman who looked like a fish. "Link! More have come!" the fish-woman screamed.
"No! It's okay, we're Link's friends," Quatre attempted to calm the fish- woman.
"Friends? Prove it. Where do we come from?" Ruto's purple eyes scanned over the two new boys. She liked this boy who talked to her.
"Link said you came from Hybul," Quatre hoped that that was right.
"Hyrule, Quatre," Trowa corrected.
"Oh thanks, Trowa," the Arabian smiled to the quiet Heavyarms pilot.
"That's correct. I am Ruto, Princess of the Zoras, Sage of Water and Link's ex-romantic other," Ruto extended her hand in peace to the blonde boy.
"I am Quatre Raberba Winner and this is my friend, Trowa Barton." Ruto and Quatre smiled while Trowa surveyed the fight between Duo and Link.
"Ummm... Quatre, Link's trying to kill Duo," Trowa intervened.
"Oh dear. The one you call Duo was trying to take Link's romantic other, Link has challenged him as a result he will surely kill the one called Duo," Ruto looked worried.
"Romantic other?" Quatre asked.
"Yes, I don't know what you call such things here, but that is what we call partners for life," Ruto looked back at the fight, "Link will not stop till one of two things happen. One; Duo gives up his hold on Malon or two; he dies."
Heero walked up to his two other pilots. "Heero, we need to save Duo from Link," Quatre looked to the Perfect Soldier in hopes he would know what to do.
"Hnn.." Heero brought out is gun and raised it level to Link's chest. He fired the gun only once.
Link heard a noise that resembled an explosion followed by the sound of an object speeding through the air at him, he quickly pushed Duo aside and brought his sword up to protect himself. To the four pilots' surprise, Link was successful. The bullet bounced off the blade and embedded itself in a nearby tree. What was that?
"LINK!" Malon pushed past Duo and through her arms around her bewildered romantic other and hugged him.
"That was cool, man. How'd you do that?" Duo walked up to the Hylians, a smiled planted on his goofy lips. Link, seeing Duo's return, pushed Malon behind him and prepared to defend her. "Whoa, cool it man! I don't want the girl, okay," Duo put his arms up in a 'I'm defeated' motion.
Link understood this motion and took one last look at the braided fool and Malon then sheathed his sword. "You are wise to announce defeat before death to the Hero Of Time," Link allowed Malon to hug him again and allowed her a few deep kisses.
Who is this guy? Duo watched the couple and understood the blonde boy's fierceness. They're together. That's why he wanted to kill me. He thought I wanted his girlfriend. Duo smiled to himself. Jennifer'll love this!
Sanq Kingdom
Relena's Institution
Heero, where did you all go so quickly? Relena Peacecraft stood at a large window looking out over her family's kingdom. She tossed out her school uniform for a pair of jean shorts and a white tank-top covered with a loose long sleeve T-shirt. Relena had taken the T-shirt's button up sides and tied them at her waist.
The doors to Relena's office burst open revealing four Gundam pilots, four women, a young man, an old man, a fish woman, a strange bearded man, a young girl with green hair, and a horse. They brought me a circus act! "You can't just burst through Miss Relena's doors like that Heero!" Lucerzia Noin, a woman with purplish tinted hair and violet eyes, grumbled.
"We're sorry Miss Noin, but this is urgent," Quatre defended. Heero, however, said nothing.
"What's going on?" Relena asked, her blue eyes soft and her dusty brown hair was pulled back into a ponytail that reached her hips.
"We found this group in the forest," Duo smiled.
Link pushed forward, "I am told you are royalty."
"That is correct. You are..." Relena extended a hand to Link.
"Link, your highness," Link took Relena's hand and kissed it gently.
"You don't need to kiss HER hand," a voice interrupted the respectful scene.
Link, in one motion, unsheathed the Master Sword once again and brought it to a woman's throat. The woman was small. She had blonde hair and green eyes. Jennifer Darkfall's eyes widened. "Do not speak so ill of your ruler, Miss," Link's voice turned to Relena, "Highness, your laws are different from mine, but I will gladly enforce the death penalty."
"I don't think so PAL!" Duo stepped forward. Shit Jennifer!
"Hmmm... what is your name?"
"Jennifer Darkfall," Jennifer's green eyes shifted from Link to Duo, "Duo." Link looked from Jennifer to Duo and back to Jennifer again.
"It's okay, ummm... what's your name again?" Relena decided it would be a good idea to call off the new soldier; Duo wouldn't be happy if Jennifer died.
"Link, highness. I am called the Hero Of Time, but my friends call me Link," he moved the blade away from Jennifer's neck then quickly sheathed his weapon.
"Shit man!" Jennifer cursed. Link paid her no attention.
"Well, may I be the first to give you thanks and greetings. I am Princess Zelda of Hyrule. Link is Hyrule's savior, he has saved us all from the evils of the Evil King, Ganon. His sword is called the Master Sword, only the Hero Of Time can wield that mystical blade," Zelda smiled.
"I am Princess Relena of the Sanq Kingdom. I'm afraid I have no warriors, but I do have the friendship of the six Gundam pilots," Relena returned the smile.
"You have the friendship of dick," Jennifer spat.
"Argh... Listen Jennifer, you bitch, I will not tolerate such profanities from you!" Relena screamed to the tiny elf-like girl.
"I have a question; what is a bitch?" everyone looked at the blue fish woman.
"Who are you?" Relena asked.
"Oh, how stupid of me. I am Princess Ruto of the Zoras. And am the Sage of Water, I was once Link's romantic other, but when I became a sage we had to cancel the engagement," Ruto looked almost sad at the last comment.
"Is everyone here a princess?" Duo asked sarcastically.
"I'm not," a red head answered the question from the self-proclaimed Shinigami. "My name is Malon. I'm Link's romantic other."
"I'm no princess, but I was the leader of a group of thieves called the Gerudos. I am Nabooru, Sage of Spirit," she put her hands on her hips.
"I am Darunia, Sage of Fire, and the ruler of the Gorons."
"I am Saria, Sage of Forest. I'm just a normal everyday Kokiri," Saria blushed.
"Sage of Light am I. My name is Rauru."
A blue ball of light flew from Link to Relena and said, "I am Navi and the horse is Epona, nice to meet you your highness." The little fairy flew back to Link and hid in his cap.
"I'm Impa and the Sage of Shadow. I was once Zelda's guardian."
After a few hours all questions were asked and answered by either the people of Hyrule or the people of the year After Colony 196. "So you have had other visitors besides us. That is most interesting. Whom are they? Do they come from our world?" Zelda asked.
"No, they come from a city called Tokyo. Now our world has a Tokyo, but these people are magic users so we think they come from another dimension like you did," Quatre answered.
"How many dimensions so you think there are?"
"Don't know," Heero gave Link a glance then closed his eyes.
Link watched each of the pilots closely. They could be lying to us. But why would they? We need to meet these other visitors. "Miss Relena, may we meet the other strangers?" Link asked the blue eyed teen. Link was her age considering he was sent back in time, buy his mind was 5 years older then hers.
"Yes. Duo, will you bring them here?" Relena looked to Shinigami. Jennifer's head rested on Duo's shoulder, her hand on his knee.
"Sure, Quatre you want to come?" Duo asked the Arabian pilot.
"Yeah," Quatre left with Duo.
Hallway
"Duo, don't you think it's weird that all these people are showing up now? Showing up at all?" Quatre didn't look at Duo as he spoke.
"Kinda, but... well... I don't know." Silence fell between the two boys. The only noises being made was the sound of their footsteps on the tile floors. "Hey, Q-man what do you think of the sailor people? Serena reminds me a lot of Relena, only ditzier. And Lita would be perfect for Trowa."
"Well, Athene seems nice," Quatre found himself blushing, he hoped Duo didn't see it; he wasn't so lucky.
"Ahh... Q-man has a crush! How kawaii," Duo chanted in a silly voice.
"Duo, stop it!" Quatre stopped walking.
"Just crakin' on ya Q-man," Duo smiled. So Quatre likes Athene. Not that I blame him, but she seems to.... god what's the word... old? Like she's older then she looks.
"Can we just find them, please?"
"Find who?" a voice asked from behind the two conversing friends, Quatre and Duo turned finding themselves face-to-face with the beauty they had momentarily been discussing.
"Athene! How long have you been there?" Quatre blushed, he hoped like hell she didn't hear Duo's outburst before.
"Just long enough to hear you were looking for someone, why?" Athene's blue gaze melted Quatre. Athene had taken her long honey brown hair and braided it.
"Like the do," Duo smiled.
"Huh?" Athene was momentarily confused, "Oh! The braid, yes. I always braid my hair for training."
"Oh, of course, training," Duo looked to Quatre. What the hell does that mean?
"Anyway, Miss Athene, we need to gather up your group. More have come from another dimension and wish to meet you," Quatre couldn't help but stare at the beautiful girl.
"They are training in the gardens. Bring the others there. I will go ahead and tell Serene and the others," Athene smirked at her usage of her best friend's nickname.
"You got it pretty lady," Duo sang as he grabbed Quatre's arm and bounded down the hall leaving Athene to ponder over everything.
Those two are sure strange. Duo is a funny character, always wanting to crack a joke to ease the pain. And Quatre, well Quatre is too kind. Too innocent. I hope all of this doesn't break his innocence. I am surprised the wars they've already been in haven't caused them all to go insane. Course, Heero and Trowa aren't exactly mentally stable either. They may not be insane, but ... oh... they're all okay the way they are. Athene smiled and turned to go tell her comrades of the new arrivals.
Scouts Training Area
Sanq Kingdom Gardens
A blonde stopped her training to catch her breath. Why are we doing this anyway? Magic doesn't even exist here. We can't even transform! "Luna!" the blonde expressed her thoughts to the guardian cat.
"Mina, you need to train to remain strong! This isn't a vacation!" Luna growled.
"But..." Mina was interrupted.
"Luna, is right Lady Venus," a familiar voice rang in the blonde's ears. All stopped training when they heard that voice. It was the voice of wisdom, the voice of experience, it was a voice that demanded respect, it was a voice that all gave respect too. Mina was the one who spoke to the voice, "But Athene!" Mina paused, "why did you call me, Lady Venus?"
Athene stepped up to the group, "You all need to train. Our fight is not over. We still need to get home. And to do that we need our powers, but you need to be physically stronger to call upon the power of your planets. So train harder, " Athene took a breath, "but not now. We have visitors."
