Our heroes were finally inside the lab and they were greeted by a sheikah researcher. One was Robbie, a researcher that specializes in guardian technology and can make weapons out of them.
Zelda asked them to look at the guardian that had appeared before them. Robbie placed the guardian on the desk and had a look at it and it was different from other guardians that he had saw.
"This technology the likes of which I have never laid eyes on. Which means…we've got ourselves a brand new, never before witnessed GUARDIAN MODEL!" Robbie sang
Everyone was silent, not sure what to say.
Robbie then continued.
"Devices like the sheikah slate, which are amplified by the power of such ancient relics, are but a meager fragment of such technology" Robbie explained
Impa was then able to figure it out.
"I see, so that explains why we were all able to use the sheikah slate" Impa said
"In addition, this here doohickey is loaded with data information we can't even fathom" Robbie said
A set of footsteps entered the lab and they could tell that this voice was full of excitement. It was a woman that Impa was familiar with.
"Aw, yeah! Check it!" The woman said
It was Purah, Impa's older sister and a sheikah researcher that specializes in Sheikah software.
There was another set of footsteps and everyone saw that it was another woman. She had white hair and the sheikah symbol hanging over her right eye and she had red eyes. She was more muscular than the other heroes and had tan skin.
"It's hard to believe that you two researchers are sheikah" The woman said
It was clear that this woman was a sheikah but no one recognized this woman at all, well almost everyone. Hylia got one good look at the sheikah and recognized her instantly.
"Impa, is it really you?" Hylia asked
The sheikah that was right beside her looked at her in confusion.
The woman looked over at the person who spoke to her and to her joy it was the princess that she was looking for.
"Princess Zelda! I'm glad you are unharmed" The other Impa said
Purah then stepped in.
"Oh! So you already know each other. We found this woman near our research lab. She managed to take out a Hinox by herself" Purah said
Zelda was shocked to hear this. This woman took a Hinox on her own? Only the most skilled warriors are capable of such a feat.
The Impa that Hylia just meant interrupted everyone for a moment.
"Hold on! Her name is Impa?!" The first Impa asked
Hylia nodded.
"Yes, Impa has been with me for a very long time and is the general of the army of Hyrule in my world" Hylia said
The first Impa was shocked again.
"G-general?!" The first Impa asked in surprise
Hylia then quickly explained everything to the Impa that she was familiar with and she nodded, understanding everything.
"I see, so we're stuck in an alternate world of Hyrule and we need to prepare to fight this Calamity Ganon" The second Impa said
"Yes, that's basically it" Hylia said
The tall sheikah then looked over at her counterpart.
"And I'm guessing that your name is Impa too" She said
The second Impa nodded.
"Hm…that would just confuse things, I'll just go by a temporary name while we're here in this world. From now on just call me Impaz" Impaz said
Everyone nodded
"By the way, Impaz, have you seen Link or the others?" Hylia said
Impaz shook her head. Link looked confused.
"There's a version of me here as well?" Link asked
Hylia nodded.
"Yes, he's the hero of Hyrule in our world" Hylia said
Link was surprised to hear that his counterpart was considered a hero in that world.
"Unfortunately, I haven't seen any one since I woke up here. I was journeying through this land trying to find you and everyone else that might have ended here. But like the researcher explained, they saw me take down a that one eyed monster that you call a Hinox. They didn't believe that my name was Impa but they decided to roll with it since I wouldn't budge on my so called true name" Impaz stated
"Anyway back to the topic at hand, I extracted some visual data from the guardian's memory" Purah said
The researcher then handed the sheikah slate over to Zelda. There were pictures of destruction everywhere.
"Yup there's no doubt about it. That's Hyrule castle after Calamity Ganon has been revived" Purah said
Robbie added some his own dialogue.
"As you can see we managed to extract some of the data, but much of it was fragmented. Even so, I analyze what we received, I may be able to make more sense of it" Robbie said
Zelda was silent for a moment, looking at the pictures of Hyrule's destruction.
"This is the ruin that the calamity will bring upon all of Hyrule. If we allow this to pass I fear all hope will be lost" Zelda said
"Even everything we've done up until now likely won't be enough" Impa said
"If I don't succeed at sealing the calamity…Never this will never come to pass" Zelda said
"Pardon me, but what exactly is required to seal the calamity?" Impaz asked
Zelda then explained what was needed.
"First, we need the guardians. If we can make them work properly then they'll help us bring Ganon down. Second, we need a knight that can wield the sword that seals the darkness. Third, we need to find the divine beasts and the warriors that are capable of piloting them, and finally there's me, I need to awaken my sealing power in order to seal Ganon away" Zelda said
"That seems like a lo of work" Hylia commented
Link nodded in agreement.
"It is a lot of work and so far the only thing that we have are the guardians" Zelda said
"You mean you don't where these divine beasts are located?" Impaz asked
"It's not that we don't know where they are. We managed find out where they are. It's just that the divine beasts require skilled warriors to pilot them and so far we haven't been able to find these warriors" Impa said
Impaz nodded. She can understand that finding someone worthy of great tasks can prove to be difficult.
"Well, why don't we head back to Hyrule castle and inform the king of our discovery" Hylia suggested
Everyone nodded.
The journey back to Hyrule castle was a short one and everyone except Hylia and Zelda were kneeling before them. King Rhoam took this news very seriously and his daughter informed him that they were going to let this guardian follow them around.
"You intend to let this relic follow you around, hm?" Rhoam asked
"Yes, after talking to Purah and Robbie we thought it would be best" Zelda said
The king sighed and looked at his daughter with a serious look.
"I will remind you once again, above all else your duty is of the utmost importance. Are we clear" Rhoam asked
"Yes, we are clear I understand and I will honor my duty" Zelda said
Everyone settled in for the night. With Impaz sharing a room with Hylia.
Hylia had a troubled look on her face and Impaz noticed right away.
"Princess, what's wrong you looked troubled" Impaz said
"I'm just worried about our friends" Hylia said
"You don't need to worry about them, Princess. All of them are capable warriors, I'm sure all of them are just fine" Impaz said
Impaz saw that her words seemed to have worked a little bit but the warrior princess still had a troubled look.
"That's not the only thing that's bothering you is it?" Impaz asked
Hylia nodded.
"There's also Ganondorf, he got sucked into the portal too and if he ended up in this world too then I fear that this world is in grave danger" Hylia said
Impaz now understood why the princess was worried.
"It is concerning about the possibility of Ganondorf ending in out world too. But I don't think we need to worry about him for a while. He suffered grave injuries during the battle in our world. It'll likely take some time for him recover his full strength. It is a blessing that he doesn't have the full triforce. Though is unfortunate that he still has the triforce of power but as long as he doesn't have the full triforce then we should be fine for a while" Impaz said
Hylia thought about it and what Impaz said makes sense. Ganondorf's injuries will take a while to recover from and hopefully that will give them enough time to seal away Calamity Ganon and then take care of Ganondorf and hopefully everyone will be reunited and will be able to return home in one piece.
The next morning everyone was in the throne room and King Rhoam assigned them their mission.
"I have decided that our next course of action is to go to where the divine beasts. The candidates for the divine beasts have been selected" King Rhoam said
"And who are these candidates, your majesty?" Hylia asked
"Mipha of the Zora has been selected to pilot the divine beast, Vah Ruta"
Daruk of the Gorons has been selected to pilot the divine beast, Vah Rudania"
Revali of the Rito has been selected to pilot the divine beast, Vah Medoh "
Urbosa of the Gerudo has been selected to pilot the divine beast, Vah Naboris"
Link was shocked to hear that his childhood friend Mipha was selected to be the pilot of a divine beast.
Zelda was shocked to hear that her friend Urbosa was selected to pilot the divine beast.
"You must locate these warriors and persuade them to become the pilots of the divine beasts" Rhoam said
The king then asked Zelda to bring up the map on her sheikah slate. The princess brought it up.
"I'm sure you can see it too. Zora's domain is the closest, I suggest you head there first and find Mipha. However, you'll have to get permission from her father, King Dorephan. Persuade him to let his daughter pilot the divine beasts" King Rhoam said
Everyone nodded and the king dismissed them and everyone went on their way to Zora's domain.
