Hey guys! I'm back at it again with another chapter ready for you all to enjoy! We get into a new setting that will prove to be crucial to the overall story I have planned out. Despite this section only being one chapter, I believe you will still love it! Don't forget to fave, follow, and review! Now, without further ado, let's get into this chapter!
Before that though, let me answer some questions some of you reviewers had.
-For all you Pokemon fans, the female Pokemon trainer (Leaf) will not show up in this story. Sorry about that.
-For Giga Mac, the form Little Mac took was never used in his campaign mode against the other boxers in Punch Out Wii. This was only in the multiplayer mode which to me was non canon. Because of that, he doesn't really discover that form until now.
-For DLC characters, they will not be included in this particular story, but I have other plans for them.

Hyrule Kingdom, World of Trophies
After the Great Light Convergence occurred in this region of the World of Trophies, it was completely changed from a kingdom recovering from the fallout of a twilight invasion, to a kingdom rebuilding after a century of decline and calamity. This new kingdom was at its limit in no time once the light occurred. It had seen its share of mystery and danger in the past, but to them, nothing could explain what caused the Great Light Convergence to happen. Like New Donk City, new species were immigrating to the kingdom in an attempt to live in the castle's vast surrounding town. Over the course of a few days, the town's population nearly tripled to the point where living spaces were crammed and soldiers had to crack down on increasing crime. To make matters worse, both the kingdom's Hylian champion and princess were missing. This left this new Hyrule with no leader and no one to look up to.
In the dungeons below the castle, there was a young woman that was from a different version of Hyrule from another time. She had blond hair and a dusted and tattered royal dress. After the Great Light Convergence sent her to this new Hyrule, the unfamiliar soldiers noticed her immediately and apprehended her for impersonation. Ever since then, she's been stuck in that cell. Despite that though, she never lost hope that she would succeed in being free.
Currently, she sat in her cell and prayed for her goddess to provide the wisdom necessary to pull through this tough time of crisis. She was deep in thought when she was hit with a brief glimpse of Hyrule and many other places in flaming ruin. This surprised her with overwhelming fear as she was processing what she saw. As she was recovering, two soldiers came up to her cell and opened its thick metal barred door.
"Alright imposter! Time for you to face the serious consequences of your actions!" Said one of the soldiers with utter hostility.
The Entrance to Hyrule Castle Town.
Three warriors were making their way into the borderline chaotic marketplace district of the town. They were each strong in their own right.
The first person was a male white haired mage that wielded a lightning harnessing sword along with a normal bronze blade. He also kept magical tomes that had a variety of effects on opponents.
The second was a female who dressed in a navy blue uniform with matching long hair. She wielded a sword that was used with uncanny precision against her enemies.
The third warrior was dressed in a tattered black armored uniform and wielded a sword similar to the female's except that he applied more force against his enemies.
The male swordsman was the first to speak up. "All those days of wandering around paid off. We finally reached a kingdom. Although I don't think it's one we're familiar with."
"You're right, Chrom." Said the mage. "From my observations, it looks like this kingdom hasn't been faring too well against the mysterious flash of light that happened."
"I still don't understand what caused that strange light to happen in the first place." Said the female swordswoman.
"I'm afraid no one does, Lucina." Responded the mage. "Not as of right now."
"Well Robin, regardless of what that light meant, we're safe in this new kingdom for the most part." Said Chrom. "We can get some supplies and find an inn to recover in before we hit the road again."
Once the trio got to the central plaza of the castle town, they were greeted by something appalling to them. Countless protesting residents were holding up signs that read "IMPOSTER" and "CRIMINAL," among other demeaning statements, at one of the central pillars. When the three warriors got a closer look at the pillar, there was a young woman chained to it who looked to be in her late teenage years. She had blond hair and wore a tattered royal white dress. In front of the pillar, there was about a dozen soldiers armed with strange looking bows that could fire in a straight line. They looked to be made out of some ancient technological material.
A general of the soldiers then calmed the audience and got beside the pillar. "As you all know, we have been increasing our laws and security force all over the kingdom, stopping all manner of crime from happening ever since that infernal light happened! However, none of those crimes compare to what this young woman did to us not too long ago! She impersonated one of our great heroes who restored us back to our former glory after the calamity was destroyed! She defiles her name by claiming to have her power!"
The large crowd then starts booing loudly.
"I can't watch any more of this. I have to save her." Uttered Lucina with anger in her heart.
Before she had a chance to break away though, Chrom held her back by grabbing her arm. "Daughter, no. It's too dangerous."
The general then got closer to the apparent princess. "Any last words? False princess?"
The girl could only say one thing. "May the grace of Hylia be with me."
The general only responded with a scoff of disgust and got out of the soldiers' lines of fire.
"On my command!" Shouted the general as he raised his arm.
The soldiers then drew their bows with arrows equipped with fire.
"Ready!" Ordered the general. "Aim!"
Lucina suddenly managed to break free from her father's iron grip and jumped in front of the soldiers, momentarily confusing them.
"What in Hylia's divine name is this?" Shouted the confounded general.
The swordswoman cut the chains and freed the girl.
The general grew frustrated with the situation that was about to ensue. "Kill them both!"
The soldiers then fired the arrows with some slight hesitation on their part. However, something happened which shocked everyone present.
The girl who was about to be executed shone an extremely bright light from her hand and stopped all the arrows in midair, dropping them all on the ground harmlessly. The crowd and the soldiers were all speechless.
Once the girl dropped the arrows on the ground, she went up on a nearby stone pedestal to gain higher ground.
As she was walking up, Chrom and Robin came to Lucina's aid and helped her up.
"People of this Hyrule!" Called out the girl. "My name is Zelda! You may think I am an impersonator trying to tarnish your princess's reputation and heroics, but in truth, I am a princess of another Hyrule in a different point in time! I know some of you may not believe me, but I have proof to show you that I have the power necessary to uphold this truth!"
Zelda then raised her right hand and three golden triangles suddenly appeared on the back of it, shining for the entire crowd to see. If the crowd looked closer though, they could see that the bottom left triangle shone significantly brighter than the other two. As soon as everyone recognized what that was, they were in utter shock. "It can't be… " "Is that really it?" "Is that the Triforce of Wisdom?"
The murmuring continued for a bit until Lucina, Robin, and Chrom came to Zelda's side.
Lucina could only give a friendly and encouraging nod to Zelda, prompting the princess to finish her speech. "I know I'm not the Zelda you may know, but as long as my Triforce of Wisdom shines brightly, I won't let any kingdom of Hyrule fall to chaos and evil! If you believe in my leadership, stand with us, and become loyal to the forces of good and triumph!"
With that rousing speech, the overwhelming majority of the crowd raised their arms and cheered the princess on, dropping their signs of protest.
However, the general, who apparently still didn't believe the truth, furiously drew his sword and attempted to deliver a killing blow toward the princess. Chrom noticed this and immediately went in to block the strike with his sword, causing the crowd to panic and scatter from the resulting sound.
Robin came in to assist the swordsman and the two warriors stood their ground against the general.
"I won't let anyone usurp the princess's place! I will strike down any imposter and accomplice that stands in my way!" Cried out the general.
Despite the sword skills that the Hylian had, Chrom and Robin's blade and magic skills proved to be more than a match for him. Chrom had disarmed the general with a well timed swing while Robin finished him off with a thunder tome.
Zelda ordered the newly loyal soldiers to arrest the general for attempted murder, and did so without question after what everyone saw him do. As he was escorted to the dungeon, the princess could only say one thing. "May Hylia redeem you someday."
The Hylian then turned to the three warriors that came to her aid. "Thank you, brave warriors. I am indebted to you."
"We're just glad to see you safe." Responded Lucina. "You seem like the most capable leader who can keep this place from destroying itself."
Zelda couldn't help but agree. "I wish to learn about the things we possess in this kingdom. During my time in the dungeon, I noticed that this Hyrule has technology far more advanced than my own. If I can use this technology to better protect ourselves, I can restore tranquility and freedom among this new Hyrule. Besides, I believe a powerful enemy is coming."
"What makes you say that?" Asked Lucina.
The princess decided to explain what she saw. "I experienced what appeared to be some sort of premonition. Probably from the Triforce of Wisdom I have."
"What did you see?" Asked Chrom.
"This kingdom and many other places destroyed with nothing remaining but ash and debris." Explained the princess. "That is why I wish to learn about this kingdom. To defend not only ourselves, but other places on this world as well."
"We'll help you, Princess Zelda." Said Robin. "We can't just walk away after everything that's happened."
"Thank you." Said Zelda graciously. "By the way, I never got your names."
"I'm Lucina." Said the swordswoman first. "This is my father Chrom, and my most trusted ally Robin."
After they greeted themselves to the princess, they all immediately set out to restore peace in the kingdom by doing their part best suited to them.
Lucina was in charge of managing living spaces, hospitality, and keeping crime at an all time low.
Chrom was training troops in specialized blade techniques while also lending a hand in building new residences and shops.
Robin opened up a shop himself and supplied Hyrule citizens and troops with magic and enchanted weapons.
Zelda herself was in the study room of the princess who used to live there before she went missing. She was intrigued by this princess's research and opted to learn all that she could about the technology this new Hyrule had. After a few hours of research, she found out about all sorts of ancient weaponry. What interested her the most though, was the automatons called Guardians, programmed to carry out Hyrule's every command. Robin helped augment some of these weapons with his own magic to further increase their capabilities while also learning the technology himself to stay two steps ahead.
With all that research and the help Robin, Lucina, and Chrom were providing, the future of Hyrule was looking fairly bright for the time being.
