Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, However I might want to.

She sighed as she closed her eyes and dropped into Faron province, the wind whisking around her hair as she fell from the sky with her eye still closed, relaxing a little bit at least for the first time in she didn't even know how long.

It would've been perfect if she hadn't heard screaming from above her. "Huh?" She gaped in shock to see Groose falling from the sky. She barely had enough time to identify the figure above her as Groose before he collided with her and clung to her legs.

"Gha! Groose!?" She yelled as she tried to shake him off.

"Stop moving your legs your gonna make us FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AALLLLLLL" He screamed.

"We're already falling you idiot!" She yelled right before they hit the forest ground hard.

"Ugh. Rough landing." Groose complained as he sat up and rubbed his head. "I think I might have broke something. Hey Kella, Seriously...Didn't anyone ever tell you to land without crash-" He broke off as he started to gawk at the tiny birds. When he looked back up towards the sky he screamed in fright as he saw Kella standing there with her hands on her hips looking PISSED.

"You better not be blaming me for this you overgrown oaf." She snapped.

"Well you did make us fall by trying to kick me off..." He trailed off.

"I made us fall? I did? You great big moron! What were you doing down here anyway? Were you following me?" She demanded as she glared down at him.

"Well..." He opened his mouth which was his big mistake. She socked him across the face with her fist.

"You great big parasite!" She screeched at him before spinning around with one hand on her hip while she ran her other hand through her hair. She spared him a quick glance over the shoulder which a scoff of annoyance. "You better stay out of my way." She snapped before she ran up the pathway towards the sealed temple where she somehow knew that the old woman would be waiting for her expectantly.


"You're messing with me! Say it again, I dare you!" She heard Groose say as she entered the sealed temple. 'What the fuck? How the hell did numb nuts get here before me?' She thought as she made her way slowly up the steps to the old woman.

"I only speak the truth. You are not the one who will save her. The spirit maiden, your Zelda, can only be saved by another." The old woman said calmly. "It has been her fate to do this thing, and in doing so save us. As it was decided long before you were brought crying into the world." Kella couldn't quite stop a smile from spreading on her face at her choice of words.

"Shut it, Grannie!" He yelled at her. "You obviously don't know me very well, cause if you did, you'd know that if anyones gonna save Zelda, it's Groose!" He narrowed his eyes at the old women as Kella slowly made her way towards them. "How could it not be me? Plus, if it aint me, then why am I even here?" He growled out. "If I'm not up to the job of being a hero, just who is?"

"Well being an annoying priss comes to mind." She commented in response to his wonderings on why he was here.

"Huh?" He turned round as she spoke and narrowed his eyes as she came to stand beside the old women. "Oh I getcha. Kella, Grannie here has been trying to tell me you're going to be the big hero that saves Zelda." Kella raised an eyebrow at him. "What a joke! Look all I've heard so much is a bunch of babbling about destiny, but that's a load of garbage."

"Is it now?" Kella questioned, crossing her arms over her chest with a unpleasant look on her face.

"I know you! And you're no hero, shrimp! You don't even care about Zelda! All you care about is whether the sky will rain or snow!" He snapped. In a split second she had punched him to the ground and was now looming over him.

"You don't know a thing, shark hair!" She snapped as she slammed her foot down on his hand. "You think just because I'm not fluttering after her like a stupid fanboy that I don't care about her? She is my brothers best friend since we were kids. She is like the little sister I never had therefore it is my job to protect her, just as I've always done. She's more important to me than to some stupid fluttering fan-boying school boy. So you just mind your own fucking business!" She yelled before quickly doing a backflip away from him and turning towards the old women.

"Greetings Kella. Were you able to catch up to Zelda?" She sighed as she rubbed her temples tiredly.

"Yeah. Everything was fine until he had to show up and ruin everything." She clenched her jaw in pure fury as she balled her hands into fists and slammed them against the wall. "Dear Hylia, please tell me that , that is not the last I see of him? Cause I would really, like love with all of my heart to bash his stupid face into my sword." She ranted. "At least the tall chick was there to stall him long enough for Zelda and Link to escape through that big ass blue gate thingie." She added.

"Ah, I see. So the guardian was there as well, was she?" The old women stated calmly. "The one you saw by Zelda's side is known as Impa. She is a being sent forth by the goddess to aid Zelda in her quest. The two have traveled somewhere in order to accomplish the great task destiny has set before them. However, now that Impa has destroyed the gate that they used, there is only one way left to find them." Kella's head whipped back round to look at the old women in front of her.

"What is it?" She demanded.

"You must make use of the Harp giving to you by Zelda." The old women answered. "Tell me Kella, have you attempted to play the harp that you received?" She question. Kella gave a quick shake of her head.

"Very well. I shall teach you how to play it. Listen well and do as I say." Kella nodded before walking to the bottom of the stairs and standing in the middle of a circle before pulling out the harp and examining the ancient markings.

"All you have to do is strum the string on the harp in time with the circle of light around you." She instructed earning a nod from the girl in front of her as she slowly raised her fingers to the harp. The tune was a bit flat at first but soon escalated into the soft tune of the Ballad of the Goddess. She found the tune swarming around her as her fingers glided over the strings and plucked at them before gliding over them again.

Within a minute she was in the middle of a circle with high streaming lights as she paused before she launched into some fast paced strumming of her fingers that seemed beyond her control. She gasped as a blinding blue light shone behind her.

She spun around and her jaw dropped as a big stone wall slowly rose up from the ground in the gap between the two stair cases. It had a crest on it as well as a bunch of words that seemed to be in an ancient language unknown to her. "The harp you hold is known as the Goddess's Harp. It is a divine instrument of the goddess who once watched over this land." The old woman explained.

"The melodies it brings to life have the power to produce a variety of strange and otherworldly effects." She added as Kella lifted the harp up to her eye view and stared at it in awe. "The great slab standing before you is known as a gate of time. It is the last of it's kind in existence... The only portal binding our world to the one where Zelda and Young Link now reside. If you manage to open the gate and pass through, you will likely end up in the same place as them. But you will need to endure many hardships and put yourself in great danger to awaken the gate from it's dormant state."

Kella nodded with a smile threatening to spread on her face. "Though your journey will put you in harm's way. You must endure, for it is your fate as the chosen hero of the godde-" She trailed off as the earth shook from beneath causing Kella to fall over on her side, causing the harp to fall out of her hand. She quickly got to her feet and picked up the harp in her hands before placing it in her pocket and looking around in confusion.

"What the hell was that?" She gasped as she looked around for something, anything to fight.

"This shaking...I fear the seal has broken."

"Seal? What seal?" She snapped as the ground continued to shake.

"I imagined that it would react to your summoning the gate, but I never imagined that it would react so quickly." She turned her head to look at Kella. "Kella, there will be time to explain later. For now you must hurry to the pit outside." Kella gave her a quick nod before heading outside of the sealed temple and towards the pit.


She ran and jumped off of the edge and landed on the ground at the bottom of the pit and quickly did a back flip as black smokey mist came out of the circle on the ground, nearly blinding her as she held up her arm to shield her face from the smoke. Once the mist cleared Kella lowered her arm and looked at the circle only to see a big giant scaly creature with big noticeable white toes, sharp teeth, and a piece of sword like stone stuck in it's head.

"Hello, beautiful." She said sarcastically as she back flipped away from it before running up to it and slashing her sword at the toes on it's right foot in a spin attack causing all three toes to explode. Suddenly she fell back onto her back as red electrical shocks vibrated throughout her entire body causing her to twitch slightly before slowly getting to her feet.

"What the...What the hell was that?" She spat out some grass in fury. She darted forward and sliced off the toe on the back of each of the Imprisoned's feet before jumping to the side a couple of times in the process jumping off of the edge. She ran over to an air geyser and closed her eyes as she felt herself being lifted higher up and land in front of the Imprisoned.

She quickly did a spin attack causing the last three toes to evaporate and the Imprisoned to fall down on it's back. She quickly ran around the body before slashing her sword at the stone. It took her a moment to figure out that she was supposed to hit the stone inside. It roared in pain as it stood up and grew it's toes back and pushed the stone back out of it's forehead.

Her eyes widened as it suddenly dropped down onto it's belly and started to quickly slither forward like a snake. It's whole body had turned red by now as she ran to catch up, quickly catching a ride on an air geyser before she started to run downhill she stood there fully prepared with her shield held up in front of her face as she watched it get back to it feet and slowly approach her. She ran forward to meet the beast head on and slashed away at it's toes over and over again.

She cried out in pain as it suddenly stepped forward causing electricity to come out of it's foot as the foot slammed down onto the ground. To top it all off the monster had stepped right on her, flattening her and causing her body to convulse in pain.

She got to her feet again and shook her head slightly before charging forward and slashing at the toes before jumping back to avoid the red line of electricity from hitting her. She ran forward before chopping off the last off it's toes causing it to fall down onto it's back and growl softly.

Thinking fast she jumped into action, darting forward with all her speed and by the time she got around it she found herself exhausted. 'No!' She yelled at herself in her head as she slashed her sword forward and once she regained enough energy she did again harder this time. It only took one more hit to cause the beast to roar in pain.

She jumped off of the edge as it started to dart forward on it's belly again. She landed lightly on her feet and then used an air geyser to get back up to the right platform and darted away from the beast, grabbing stamina fruit as she went, and jumped forward just as the beast stood up, landing a blow or two on some of it's toes.

Before long it was on it's back again while Kella paced herself in getting to it. She slashed away at the stone in it's head and smirked. "Your time is up, ugly." And with one last swing it let out a blood curdling scream as a blinding light gathered around the Imprisoned before it suddenly exploded into several streams of light and all of the light gathered into the sword shaped stone and lowered slowly down to the bottom of the pit.

Without bothering to listen to what the old woman ha to say she jumped off of the edge and landed gently on the ground at the bottom of the pit. She charged a skyward strike and sent it flying at the stone causing a blinding light to form. She held up her arm to shield her eyes from the light and then slowly lowered her arm and blinked in surprise to see Ghirahim standing at the other end of the pit.

"Well, Well, Well," He said with a dark chuckle in his voice. "I had hoped that once his Imprisoned form finally broke free that it would squash anything in it's path and take the energy from the sealed temple to resurrect my master." He said dramatically with a dramatic moan of pain that wasn't there.

"Believe me. It tried." She said in a surprisingly calm voice.

He laughed at her. "But the seal is weakened. I may be able to use this opportunity to free him at last." He said with a dangerous look in his eyes. She gritted her teeth in anger and swiftly slashed her sword diagonally downwards at the stone before slashing it through the stone again, this time diagonally upwards and then again horizontally causing it to shine brightly.

Ghirahim narrowed his eyes in anger as she stabbed her sword through the air, successfully making the stone stab down deep into the ground. "You wretched brat!" He yelled in anger.

"Aw, thank you. Unfortunately I believe there is no insult strong enough to describe his diamondlyness." She mocked with a smirk on her face.

He smirked and snapped his fingers, disappearing in a cloud of diamonds. "Huh?" She glanced around frantically with her eyes, not budging her head and froze when she felt cool metal press against her neck.

"You shouldn't mock me, Sky Child."


Ooh! I know, another cliffy but what can I say, I couldn't resist! Please don't hate me!
