A large tree could be seen in the distance just near the outer limits of the town.
"We should go see the Maku tree in this region he will know what we need to do to get back to Hyrule." Tael
The girls and the two floating orbs went off in the direction of the large tree and Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup took off after them.
The townspeople in Holodrum looked and saw three flying girls with multicolored streaks coming from their feet and all of them fell to their faces and started bowing up and down to the girls flying overhead.
"What are they doing?" Blossom asked seeing the strange sight below."
"I'm not sure but they might think you are the three goddesses of Hylian lore." Tatl said pensively
"How could they think we're goddesses?!" Buttercup demanded
"Well the goddesses in the legend had three unique colors, Din the goddess of Power is represented by a red light, Nayru the goddess of wisdom is represented by a blue light and Forore the goddess of courage is represented by a green light. Each have the ability to fly and work miracles so by all accounts you three are the goddesses to them." Tatl continued
Blossom stopped cold and looked down at the people paying them homage, "We are not your goddesses!" She yelled
"Yeah, we are the lovely science fighting legends the Powerpuff Girls Z!" Buttercup included and the three struck a pose. This only made the people start to bow faster.
"I don't think you're getting through to them." Came a voice from behind them
The girls whirled around to see a man in blue and navy blue spandex. He had bandages around his arms and legs and the sides of his chest. He also wore a torn cloth around his torso that had a strange eye pattern emblazoned on it. His face was mostly covered with a thick cloth but his eyes and part of his bangs could be seen.
"SHIEK!" Tatl and Tael said in unison and hid behind the girls
"Who are you?" Blossom asked readying herself to fight.
"I am Shiek the last of the Shieka and general in the grand army of Shadows." Shiek replied
"Then it looks like we're taking you down." Buttercup said and swung her giant hammer.
Just as the hammer was about to strike Shiek threw down what looked like a glowing nut that burst in a flash of light and stopped Buttercup in her tracks. Once the flash had gone so was Shiek.
"You really ought to think before you act." Came Shiek's voice behind them.
The girls whirled around and saw Shiek high in a tree looking down at them.
"But how?" Bubbles asked surprised
"It doesn't matter how but here you three must watch your steps or they could be your last." Shiek warned and a huge cracking sound came from the direction of the Maku Tree.
The group looked in that direction and saw the large, leafy tree top fall backwards crushing a major part of the woods behind it.
"It looks like Onox has finished his interrogation." Shiek said monotonously and jumped off in the direction of the tree.
The girls chased after him but eventually they lost sight of him and found themselves in a small clearing with a huge tree. The tree appeared to have been chopped down by some rigid object and large chunks of the tree could be seen off to the side. Suddenly a large black morning-star flew up and knocked Blossom to the ground. She looked up in time to see a large creature in thick golden armor fling a huge morning star attached to a chain over his head and bring it crashing down on top of her.
A light flickered and the chain that was holding the large spiked ball was suddenly tangled with a bright silver whip and pulled to the side where one of it's sharp spikes dug deep into Blossoms arm but away from her head.
"Shiek why are you betraying me?" The golden clad creature asked pulling back the spiked ball.
"I am not betraying you Onox, these girls have done nothing against the army of shadows." Came the voice of Shiek who appeared from the bushes and caused the whip to disappear.
"I was not aware they had to do something treacherous to be killed." Onox responded.
"I will take responsibility for them." Shiek said and Onox laughed
"Very well be sure they do not interfere with the resurrection of the great Gannondorf!" He said and walked off to the side.
"The MAKU TREE!" Tatl and Tael said in unison and both floated over to the tree that had been taken down.
"Hold on!" Buttercup said and she and Bubbles went over to the base of the tree and lifted it up setting it back on it's roots.
Shiek then walked around the base that was separated from the roots and touched the seam. The seam started to glow and the wood melded back together. Soon the tree opened it's eyes and looked down on the group. This, of course frightened Bubbles who screamed and knocked the leaves off most of its branches.
"This is the Maku tree." Tatl started
"The guardian of Holodrum!" Tael finished
Shiek walked over to Blossom who was holding her profusely bleeding arm and crying for the pain. Shiek unwrapped one of the bandages around her arm and put it around the large hole that Blossom had received by the spike. He then poured a golden colored liquid that smelled an awful lot like soup over the wound and the pain stopped. A golden aura encircled the bandage for a little bit and then disappeared and when the bandage was removed there was no more hole.
"No what's that stuff called?" Buttercup asked
"Grandma's soup!" Came Shiek's simple response.
The Maku tree looked down, "And how can this humble servant assist the goddesses?" he asked
"We're not goddesses!" Bubbles explained
"But you have an aura of power and purity about you, if not the goddesses then whom? The tree asked
"We are the lovely science fighting legends the Powerpuff Girls Z!" They responded and struck a pose
"Very well, how may I be of assistance?" The tree asked
"They are looking for a way to reach Hyrule." Tatl responded
"Alas, I would be able to transport you there but my power has been stolen by Onox. If you should like to go to Link's birthplace you must first obtain my seed that was stolen then and only then will I be able to transport you to where you seek to go." The tree said sounding very tired
"I will take you to his castle." Shiek said
"But I thought you were in Gannondorf's army too!?" Buttercup said surprised
"I am!" Shiek responded and headed off towards the town.
"I don't like it, it sounds like a trap," Tatl said as the girls came down and helped Blossom to her feet.
"Well if he wanted to kill us he certainly wouldn't have healed me." Blossom said pensively
"I say we give him a chance I mean we don't have many other choices." Bubbles said optimistically.
"Ok but if anything starts to even feel the tiniest bit off then I'm going to send him packing with my hammer." Buttercup said confidently hoisting her hammer over her shoulder.
The girls took off after Shiek as the Maku tree slipped slowly into a deep slumber.
