Last time on Medabots and Hylians, Link and Metabee were visited by Link's ancestor, the Legendary Hero of Time, and were told of their destiny to defeat the great evil just like he did before. When the duo told their family and friends that they were going to do something about what was happening, Sheik and Nin-Ninja volunteered to help. What'll happen next? Find out now on "Medabots and Hylians- a New Generation of Heroes".
I do not own Legend or Medabots, and reviews are greatly appreciated.
Chapter 7- The Start of Two Adventures
After Link, Sheik, Metabee, and Nin-Ninja watched the family drive off, Sheik glanced at his friend. "Alright Link, where to first?" He asked. "To be honest, I'm not sure." Link replied, gazing at the once bright but now grey and dull sky, "But if we're going to take on whoever was responsible for the attack on the city, we're going to need help." "That's just great Link," Metabee scoffed sarcastically, "But who are we going to be able to find?" The group then thought hard as they stood in the middle of the front yard. "Wait a minute," Sheik piped up, "Wasn't there someone from school that lives in this neighborhood besides us?" "Let's see, there's…" Link started, and then cut short. "No way," He firmly rejected, "Not her. Not going to happen." "Who?" Metabee asked inquisitively, with Nin-Ninja staying quiet. "Malon," Sheik responded, "You haven't seen her yet, but she's been crazy about Link since the fourth grade, despite Link not returning interest." "No way," Link fussed, "We are not finding her." "But who else is there Link?" Sheik argued. "Malon's the only one close by that we can readily find and enlist to help." "Sheik has a point Link," Nin-Ninja added, "Until we can find transportation out of the city and to surrounding towns, we need to enlist everyone close by, as there is also safety in numbers. Plus, we will also be saving them from the oncoming army should they choose to tag along and help." "Yeah," Metabee agreed, "So don't be so selfish Link. I mean seriously, how bad can Malon be?" Link looked at the rest of his group. They all had a point; because firstly, they did need all the help they could get, despite who it was. And secondly, anyone that agreed to help would hopefully be safe from the monster army. "Alright fine," Link sighed in defeat, "But we better get a move on." So without many more distractions, the group of four dashed down the street and to the other side of the neighborhood.
In the timespan of about thirty minutes, the group made it to Malon's house. Her house wasn't very large compared to most of the other houses in the neighborhood. It was a one-floor ranch with very few significant features. Malon's Father however, Mr. Talon, who was also Link and Sheik's first period math teacher, claims that their home was one of the first built in the neighborhood, so it would make sense that it was built how it was. But without much more hesitation, and much reluctance from Link, the quartet knocked on the door. Malon then answered the door with a smile of excitement, mainly from seeing Link there. "Well hey boys," She greeted, "What brings you here?" "Malon?" Mr. Talon asked, "Who's at the door?" "It's Link and Sheik from school." She hollered back as she motioned the boys and medabots inside. "Well hello there Mr. Link and Mr. Sheik," Mr. Talon greeted, "How can we help you?" "Well sir," Link started, "You've seen the news report about the army right?" "Of course we have, it's on every channel." The math teacher answered. "Sheik and I have decided to do something about it. And…" Link trailed off, not quite sure how to say what he was trying to. "And we need Malon's help." Sheik continued for his friend, "We can't do it alone." "You mean to tell me that you need my daughter's help to take on that army?" Mr. Talon summarized, though hesitant on believing it. "That's right," Metabee agreed, "We need all the help we can get." "I would love to help." Malon happily accepted, "Please Daddy? Can I help Link and Sheik?" "I don't know Malon; it does seem a little dangerous." Her Father rubbed his chin. "But I want to help," Malon begged, "And I can bring Brown Bison for protection. Come on Daddy, please?" Mr. Talon thought hard as Malon's medabot, Brown Bison, walked into the room and looked around. He then gazed at the boxes of things that they were bringing with them all stacked in columns. "Alright," He then approved, "I entrust you boys with the protection of my daughter." "Thank you Daddy," Malon exclaimed with her natural country accent, "I'll be careful and do whatever I can to help." "You do that Malon," Mr. Talon smiled back tenderly as his daughter grabbed her backpack and hugged him goodbye. Malon then called Brown Bison to follow as the group headed out the door.
"So Link," Metabee started, "We have Malon, where do we go from here?" Link thought hard, as he didn't really know where to go. However, the voice of his ancestor echoed throughout his head saying, "Kakariko." "I think we should head to Kakariko Village." Link finally spoke up. "Kakariko Village?" Malon questioned, "That's like an hour from here by car." Kakariko Village was a ways out from Hyrule City, but it had something that helped it make its mark in the modern world. There was a medabot research lab located there where all the latest models are designed and tested before they are approved for mass production. Other than that, it was a fairly quiet and peaceful town overall. "Then we better get a move on," Nin-Ninja finished, "The more time we waste, the more time the leader of that army has to take over Hyrule." Brown Bison snorted in agreement. Brown Bison was a Buffalo type medabot, and that in turn explains his inability to talk. So to supplement this disability, he developed a series of snorts, grunts, and huffs to express what he was trying to say. "Well it seems that Brown Bison agrees," Malon chimed in, "So let's go." "By the way," Metabee piped up as the group left the neighborhood and started their long walk for Kakariko Village, "Just what can Brown Bison do anyway?" Malon giggled out loud, "Brown Bison, would you care to demonstrate?" He snorted happily as he lifted Metabee clear off the ground with one arm and swapped him between arms like a baton a few times before putting him back down. "Brown Bison specializes in brute strength," Sheik explained, "And I've seen that model in general lift more than you in weight." After the little demonstration, and a couple brief introductions, silence ensued as they walked alongside the road. "So, umm… Link?" Malon started, "What exactly are we doing?" "We're going to save Hyrule from whoever's responsible for attacking it." Link answered simply. "I understand that much, but how are we going to do that?" The country girl then asked as she brushed some hair behind her shoulder. "To be honest Malon, we don't really know at this point." Sheik sighed. "That is why we are trying to enlist help." Nin-Ninja added. So for the next few minutes, both boys explained the current plan.
Meanwhile, Zelda had taken her Father's advice and was about ready to leave the house. But the question was where would she go? She had lived in the city her whole life, so she had no clue as for where to go. But as she was ready to leave, an otherworldly presence was sensed behind Zelda. Naturally she turned to face the presence, but gasped in shock at who it was. It was a ghostly copy that looked exactly like Zelda, but she wore a pink royal coronation dress with pure white elbow-length gloves and a crown on her head. "Do not fear me." The ghost started. "Who are you?" Zelda stuttered out of fear, both naturally and from the majestic aura that could be felt from the specter. "I am your ancestor from the Hyrule of old." She started in a soft tone, "And I am here to warn you of the coming dangers." Zelda nodded cautiously as her ghostly counterpart began to speak. "The evil that now takes your home by force is the same one that threatened my kingdom many years ago. He somehow broke the seal that was placed on him by the Sages and me. However, History is bound to repeat itself as it has for centuries." She then walked closer to Zelda and clasped her translucent hands around Zelda's right hand and raised it to eye level. Then, the back of her hand glowed softly as the mark of the Triforce appeared on it, with the lower left being darker in color. "I held on to this power, known as the Triforce of Wisdom, when I helped seal away the great evil. But you are the one destined to follow in my footsteps and seal away the great evil once and for all." The ghostly princess then backed away. "But, why me? Why now?" Zelda stammered, gazing at the new mark on her hand and then at her ghostly counterpart. "You will find out in due time," The ghost replied, "But my time must be short. Guard that power with your life, and do not fear; for I will guide you along your journey. As for your destination, you must head to the Village of Kakariko. A friend you know is on his way there as of now. You must meet with him and aid him in defeating the great evil. Farewell, my descendant." The specter then disappeared, leaving Zelda in the room by herself. But now she knew where she must go, and nothing will stop her.
Zelda then grabbed a backpack with a few necessities and left her home without looking back. "Kakariko," Zelda thought to herself, "Where have I heard that name before?" After a few minutes, it finally clicked. "That's right; Dad had a business trip there a couple years ago. I think he told me that it was a research facility for medabots. But who did my ancestor say was heading there and why?" She then shrugged it off as she began running down the side of the road. And thanks to a map that she brought, she knew where to go. However, her escape didn't go unnoticed as a small group of ten skeleton monsters caught sight of her and started pursuit. "Halt," They called, "You are not allowed to leave." But out of fear, Zelda kept running, but was only able to stay ahead for so long before they started gaining of her. And before long, she tripped on a rock and her left ankle now felt a searing pain that shot up her leg. The skeleton monsters quickly cornered her as she backed into a nearby tree like the scared and injured being she was. As they neared her, Zelda was able to get a closer look at the monsters. They were nothing but bones closely assembled with dark magic as well as red-lined turquoise boots, gloves, shoulder plates, swords and shields. Their eye sockets clearly said dark magic as they were both pitch black with small yellow pupils. However, one monster glimpsed at the mark on her hand and instantly recognized it. "Wait a minute," It started, "She bears the mark on her hand." "So she does," Another added, "Didn't Lord Ganondorf say something about finding the ones that bear the mark?" "He did," A third replied, "He said to bring them to him. Oh how Lord Ganondorf will be pleased with our work." "Oh he certainly will," A fourth added as he and another put away their swords and shields to free their hands, "Let's grab her." But just as Zelda uttered a small cry, a blur of dark brown and white flew past her and sliced both the incomers in two.
When the blur landed on the ground a few feet away from the skeleton group, the holes in his tattered and worn brown cloak showed that his body was white with purple accents, as well as two yellow claws on his right arm that closed at the ends and made a sword. He slowly rose from the ground and faced the group, showing more detail of this mysterious figure. His black eye shield and ruby red eyes as well as his sized proved to Zelda that he was a medabot, but just who was he? "Hey, you with the purple horns," One of the skeletons called angrily, "Will you stay out of our business?" "You mean your business of cruelty?" The white medabot corrected, "You all chase that innocent girl and end up injuring her because of it. And then you choose to capture her without giving her a chance to defend herself." "Yeah, and what of it?" The same skeleton warrior asked sarcastically. "You show no dignity in your actions, and I will fight you in the girl's place." The medabot finished. All the skeleton warriors then arrogantly charged in the direction of the medabot as he undid his cloak and tossed it aside. And just as the monsters neared him, he dashed right through the group and sliced the legs off the last two shouting, "Chanbera Sword!" As the last two skeletons fell to the ground and then disappeared in small explosions of magic, the medabot then jumped in the air and unleashed his left arm hammer fist on another skeleton, shattering its skull upon impact. But he wasn't finished as he twisted his body around while still in midair and swung his sword through the skulls of three more. And as the remaining skeletons jumped backwards, and the four the medabot attacked vanished with another small explosion. For the split-second it took the remaining skeletons to glimpse at each other in surprise, the white medabot slashed through three more as they met the same fate. And it wasn't much longer before he smashed the skull of the final skeleton with his hammer fist.
Zelda had kept her eyes closed out of fear throughout the entire fight. But when she couldn't hear anything except the wind, she opened her eyes to find the lone white medabot picking his cloak up off the ground and refitting it around his neck. When he finished, he walked in the direction of Zelda and stood in front of her. "Don't worry," He calmly spoke, "I won't hurt you." He then knelt down on one leg and began feeling Zelda's ankle, which made her yelp a bit in pain. "You've twisted your ankle," The medabot told her, "Allow me to provide a temporary remedy." He then tore off a piece of his cloak and wrapped it around Zelda's ankle like a brace." Although Zelda could feel the medabot work on her ankle, she couldn't help but notice how gentle his touch was, despite him being a medabot. "Can you get up?" He asked when he finished." "I don't think so." Zelda answered as she tried to rise from the ground, but failed. "Wait here." The medabot then replied as he jumped into the branches above Zelda and hopped back down shortly after with a slim yet firm branch easily twice his height. "Here," He explained, "Use this as a walking stick to help keep your foot off the ground." "Thank you." Zelda softly answered as she took the stick and rose to her feet. "No thanks necessary," He responded, now looking up at her, "All life is precious and worthy of protection." "What's your name?" Zelda then asked him. "My name," He started after a brief pause, "Is of no importance." He then began walking in the direction of Hyrule City, until Zelda called him back. "Wait," She called, "Couldn't you help me to Kakariko Village?" The medabot stopped, "I can't, as it's not where I'm going." "Please," Zelda begged, "I need to get there to meet a friend. And I can't get there by myself, not like this." The white medabot paused for a minute, and then turned to face her. "Very well," He spoke up at last, "Let's go." Zelda smiled as she began walking, using the stick as a crutch, in the direction of Kakariko Village, with the medabot following.
Well now Zelda knows of her destiny, but who is this mysterious medabot that saved her? And why exactly did he save Zelda? The only way to find out these answers, is to read on and see for yourself…
