Gordianus: Who are you?

???: Hee hee hee…I am the Demented Windmill Guy from the Legend of Zelda series, also known as Guru-Guru! Go around! Go around!

???: And I am Tingle the mapmaker, also from the Legend of Zelda! Kooloo-Limpah!

BWG: I thought you two were locked away in Kakariko Jail!

G-G: We broke out! Go around! Go around!

Tingle: And now we're going to show you the peril of messing with us! Tingle, Tingle Kooloo-Limpah!

BWG: Gordianus, you take the scary man in the green rubber suit. I'll handle Baldy over here!

G-G: Hey, we don't like-go around, go around-being called names!

Tingle: Let's get them! Kooloo-Limpah!

Guilmon and Grani rocketed across the ocean, leaving Headstone Island behind. Guilmon looked back at the island and sighed. "Goodbye, Biyomon." He whispered.

Grani turned his head around. "What's wrong Guilmon? You've seemed down ever since we left the island."

"…Grani…did we have to leave Biyomon behind?"

Grani got a sympathetic look on his face. "Guilmon, you're not feeling guilty for bringing her to the temple, are you?"

"…Yeah."

Grani sighed. "Guilmon, Biyomon chose to remain in the temple. She believes it is her destiny to be the Sage of Earth, and she intends to follow that destiny no matter what the cost. You are not to blame for forcing this duty on her. Biyomon chose to take her ancestor's place in the temple. You did not have to play the Earth God's Lyric to awaken her eyes as the Sage. You could have let her live a normal life as the attendant to Skydramon, and friend of Hawkmon. But if you had done that, then the Invincible would not have regained some of its old power. If you had left Biyomon alone, Lucemon would have eventually reassembled the Catalyst and destroyed us all. But since you helped her become a Sage, we still have a chance to save the day. And what is the downside? She'll only have to stay in the Earth Temple for a little while, only until Lucemon is defeated. Once he's gone, there will be no need for the Invincible's power, and she can rejoin her friends on Dragon Roost Island."

Guilmon blinked. "Then she won't have to stay in the temple forever?"

"Of course not! She may still have a chance with that Prince Hawkmon, eh?" said Grani slyly. "What I'm trying to say is that you should not blame yourself for something that you did not do. Biyomon chose her destiny. Just as you chose yours. Did you have to chase after Hououmon to rescue your sister? No. Did you have to retrieve the three Pearls and go under the sea? No. Did you have to take the Invincible from its resting place, and the responsibility of saving the world? No. You always could have turned around or refused to go forward. The fact that you-and Biyomon for that matter-chose to continue on your perilous journeys demonstrates that you truly are heroes. Think about that."

Guilmon was silent for a minute. "Does that make you a hero too, Grani?"

Grani blinked in surprise. "Why…I suppose it does! Huh. I never thought of it that way before." He frowned. "Doesn't quite seem worth all the pain and heartache I went through to just be called a hero, does it?"

"Okay then, you're a great hero! The greatest of heroes! Greater even than Susanoomon!" Guilmon joked.

Grani snorted. "Stop it now, you're going to make this old king do something foolish if you keep this up!"

"Like taking on Lucemon yourself?"

Grani laughed. "Now there's an idea! Maybe I should just dump you in the ocean and make off with your sword!"

Guilmon chuckled. "I'd like to see you try and handle the next temple all by yourself! You don't even have hands, how are you supposed to open doors and stuff?"

"Good point. Maybe it would be best if I let you keep doing the grunt work while I get all the fun of flying about, don't you think?"

Guilmon pouted. "I wish I knew how to fly."

"You'll have to grow wings before that can happen, my boy."

"Or maybe I could just install an antigravity unit in my stomach?" Guilmon suggested. They both laughed at that one.

Grani landed on another large, rocky island. "Here we are, Guilmon. Gale Isle!"

"Why is it called that?" asked Guilmon as he got off the dragon's back.

He took a step forward and was immediately pushed back into the ocean by a tremendous gust of wind blowing from the mouth of a small statue at the base of the island's central mountain. "That's why!"

Guilmon climbed out of the water and shook himself off. "Looks like I'll need a little more weight to get over there!" He clicked his heels together, summoning the Iron Boots. He started stomping towards the statue, struggling against the wind with his heavy footwear. When he reached the statue, he pulled out his hammer and smashed it to pieces, stopping the wind and revealing a cave.

He entered the cave and found a big stone tablet with the image of a violin carved into it along with several directional markings. Guilmon pulled out the Wind Waker and mimicked the directions on the tablet: ^^v. There was a gust of wind, and the ghost of a large wooden figure holding a violin appeared in the cave. "The Sage of Wind, I presume?" asked Guilmon.

The figure nodded. "Yep! My name's Puppetmon of the Puppet tribe. I know I may look a bit childish but I'm really a most esteemed Sage!"

"Okay Mr. Esteemed Sage, I don't suppose you can fully recharge the Invincible for me, can you?"

Puppetmon shook his head. "Nuh-uh. I'd have to be alive to do that!"

Guilmon sighed. "Don't tell me. I've got to hunt down your descendant, who I can identify because he carries the same instrument as you do, play the song on the stone tablet which would be…"

"The Wind God's Aria."

"The Wind God's Aria, right, to open his eyes as the new Sage, then we have to come back here and work our way through a deadly temple ending in the lair of some hideous monster I have to defeat to complete the Invincible and save the world. Am I right?"

Puppetmon stuck his thumb up. "Correct! Tell him what he's won, Johnny!"

Guilmon sweatdropped. "Great. You Sages should really come up with less complex ways to find replacements for yourselves."

"You can blame the former Sage of Light Jijimon for that. That old coot loved making things miserable for us newbies!" said Puppetmon grouchily. "Well, you know what to do. Find my descendant, play the Wind God's Aria, and come back here! See ya later! Then again, maybe not." The ghost faded away.

Guilmon exited the cave. He already had an idea of exactly where to go looking for the next Sage.

In a grassy cave deep below Forest Haven, hidden behind a waterfall on the exterior of the island, Mushroomon played his green earthy music on his violin, letting his spirit soar like a seed carried on the wind. There was nobody around to interrupt his music. Or so he thought, anyway. "Hey Mushroomon!" said Guilmon.

Mushroomon screamed and dropped his violin. "Wha? Guilmon? What are you doing here? How did you find my secret cave?"

"Oh, RedWoodmon told me where you were. It also helped that you had a sign saying 'This is NOT Mushroomon's secret hideaway. Keep out.' Right next to the waterfall."

Mushroomon sweatdropped. "I knew I should have taken that thing down. So, what do you want with me?"

"RedWoodmon said you liked adventuring. How would you like to go on a quest on a brand new island, where you'll get magical powers and help to save the world?"

Mushroomon raised an eyebrow. "I'd say I wanted to hear more."

Guilmon took out the Wind Waker. "Just follow along with me on your violin. Play this song!" Guilmon conducted the Wind God's Aria.

Intrigued, Mushroomon copied the song on his violin. The ghost of Puppetmon appeared next to him, mimicking his descendant's every move and note. When the song was complete, Puppetmon faded away. Mushroomon opened his eyes. "Whoa, I just realized I'm the Sage of Wind and I have to come with you to the Wind Temple!"

"I'll take you there. Is there anyone you would like to say goodbye to before we go?"

"Not really, I'm one of the only plants who's back early from our seed-scattering flights. The others won't be back for another week or so. There's nobody I need to say farewell to. So come on, we have to get to the Wind Temple as quickly as possible!"

Guilmon started leading the living fungus out of the cave. "In that case, I hope you don't mind flying."

"I fly all the time!" said Mushroomon, pulling out his helicopter stem.

"Have you ever flown on the back of a living dragon/boat/horse?"

"No, why?"

"That's how we're getting there!"

"…Cool."

A few hours later, the heroes made it to Gale Isle, where Grani decided to give them some last-minute instructions. "Guilmon, you know your job. You must protect Mushroomon from the wild monsters within the temple, and do as he tells you to. He knows this temple better than anyone, so listen carefully to his instructions."

Guilmon nodded. "I've done this before. You've got nothing to worry about!"

Grani turned to face Mushroomon. "And as for you, you must guide Guilmon through the temple. As the new Wind Sage, you will automatically know what to do to reach the sacred chamber and recharge the Invincible. However, you are not to get involved in any battles. It's Guilmon's job to handle the monsters, not yours."

Mushroomon stuck his thumb up. "You can count on me, talking dragon/boat/horse thing!"

"Please call me Grani. Both of you must remember to trust in each other and the power of teamwork to claim victory. Now get going! As always, time is of the essence!"

The two heroes left Grani on the beach and entered the cave. Guilmon took out his Wind Waker as they approached the giant stone tablet. "I probably don't need to tell you this, but we'll need to play the Wind God's Aria to continue."

Mushroomon pulled out his violin. "Okay, hit me!" Guilmon conducted the Wind God's Aria. Mushroomon played it on his violin, causing a magical reaction in the tablet. A crack split down the middle of the big rock. Light shined from the crack, then the entire tablet crumbled to pieces, revealing a large well.

Guilmon stood to the side of the newly opened passage. "Sages first."

Mushroomon walked to the edge of the well and looked down. He whistled. "That's a long way down. Well, here goes nothing! Cowabunga!" He jumped into the well.

Guilmon walked over to the well. "Here we go again," he said. "Geronimo!" He leaped into the well, vanishing into the depths.

(Guru-Guru and Tingle are lying on the ground, moaning in pain. BWG and Gordianus are standing over them victoriously.)

BWG: Well that wasn't so bad!

Gordianus: Easy for you to say! All you had to do was watch out for the lightning bolts the bald guy conjured with his Song of Storms! I had to watch out for bombs, pen darts, razor-edged map boomerangs, deadly potions, poison gas balloons, and his teeth! He also tried to steal my wallet!

BWG: No time to whine, Gordianus! Ri2 is waiting for us in that warehouse! Let's go! (Runs towards warehouse.)

Gordianus: (Sighs) I'm getting too old for this. (Runs after BWG.)
