DISCLAIMER: Once again, I do not own Zelda and this whole chapter has nothing I've written myself, just edited. And before you start complaining I'm stealing, I asked them if I could post it here and they said okay.

The King looked upon the pitiful group that had assembled, hoping to defend Hyrule. He was utterly perplexed as to why two were helping to defend Hyrule, but he was grateful for their help all the same. He knew Kolby, a knight in his army, and he had heard rumors about Horiku, but as for the Gerudo, he knew nothing about. He started to explain their mission which was hard amid all the noise, battle sounds, and screaming.

"As you can see, we are under siege by the Zora, while the Gorons are attacking Kakariko. You must find out what is going on, and why these people are attacking Hyrule. We have not found out anything about what is going on. We cannot spare any troops, as we need every soldier we can to defend Hyrule Town."

"Just one question," Kolby asked, "How is Kakariko faring?"

"They are not faring any better than Hyrule Town is, and I fear they will fall shortly." The king replied miserably. "However, do not be concerned about them. You must concentrate on your mission. Find out what the hell is going on, and kill anyone who gets in your way. Do you understand?"

"Sure," the group replied.

However, only Kolby really said it with much vivacity. The others merely looked off, and wondered how much they were going to be paid for doing this insane task. The group left Hyrule Castle, and started to plan their mission.

Ten minutes later, and Autumn was already beginning to question it. She was a Gerudo and she'd spent the last few years living with the Zorans but now she was fighting against them? She hadn't even organized a specific payment for this job from the King who had simply said that it would be huge.

She was losing her edge.

She wandered through the mostly empty Town Square, occasionally selecting an item from the deserted stalls and pocketing it.

Kolby looked around and saw the rest of the volunteers. They each were different. The one who called herself Autumn, seems to be Gerudo, but came from the Zoras Domain. He had seen Horiku around the Castle Town. He began to polish his sword, Lightfang, ready for battle. I must protect Kakariko Village he thought.

Horiku kept his distance from all of them. He preferred to work alone, but as of now, he had to work with them. The battle sounds grew louder, and he heard some of the soldiers retreating back into Hyrule Town. Although he didn't care much for Hyrule Town, nor for the king, he knew that his payment would be more than enough to suffice with his natural born hatred of Hyrule Castle. Walking up to the rest of the group, he said, "Well, let us start planning, lest Hyrule Town falls before we finish."

"So this is the band of mercenaries Hyrule will have to depend on," the King said looking at each one of them from his trusted knight, Kolby, to the Gerudo, Autumn.

"Yes sir. But… are you sure that you want these misfits to protect Hyrule?" the King's servant said.

The King chuckled, "Would you like to defend Hyrule?"

"No sir!" the servant said as the King had a good laugh. At this time, he had to remember there was hope for Hyrule.
