Chapter 6
Four Months Ago
Amane watched as his friends being tranquilized and carried into pods. One of the aliens were about to enter one when Link attacked it. He turned to Amane, " I don't know much about you. None of us do, but if they have trust in you to watch us. I want you to enter this thing and rescue them. I'm not sure they'll be able to get out on their own." He placed a hand on Amane's shoulder, " But what about everyone here? I promised them."
" Don't worry about us, whatever it is they were taken for, they're now important to them." Amane was beginning to protest again, when Zelda stepped up. " He's right young lady…" " Young man. I'll explain some other time." He interrupted, " Young man, I fear even if he has them. They won't leave us alone, I sense something greater approaching. We need them, we'll have the chosen champions keep watch of everything until your return. Please." Zelda said with a worried expression on her face.
Amane looked around at the crowd, to Tindu's grandmother and mother, the champions, Sydonn'as mother and father and that hurt Amane. To see Lady Kyra so stricken with grief she's unable to cry only letting out a few choked sobs and then back to Link and Zelda, Mina and Jasper's parents. He stared at the ground, 'If i'm going to prove that I'm no threat, than this is the chance.' " Alright, I'll go bring them back." He grabbed everyone's slates. "Just you wait, everyone just hold out until than!" He entered the pod, waving to everyone as it closed and finally shot into the sky.
Amane's pod was the last to enter the ship and luckily the area was cleared of any hostiles. He walked out the only door, entering a long hallway with big windows. He watched as they ascended away from his home, feeling a little uneasy.
He walked through the hallway, until he got to a corner where voices can be heard. He planted himself against the wall and took a peak. Some more of those things were speaking an unknown language and disappeared. Amane took out one of the slates and looked through the contacts.
He selected Link's picture.
A video pulled up after Link answered.
" I'm on the ship." Said Amane.
" Good, now you have to find them. From what we can tell from down here, that thing is pretty big. Your best bet is to find some form of crawl spaces and use them as your way of networking that place." Replied Link.
" Got it. I'll find them as fast as I can and get us out….. huh?" The video started to lag and cut off and on. " Oh no, this can't be happening." In the slates corner, the connection was grayed out. " Aww man. I guess I'm on my own."
He slipped it in his pack and followed the hallway those monsters left.
After walking for some time, he came across a foyer like space. " This is as big as the castle." He looked in awe at the lights and structure, across the way was a large door that was ajar. He walked up to it and peeked in. There were a bunch of console like stations in the room, he slipped in quietly. In the center stood the one they called Torlon and 14 others.
He couldn't hear much since he didn't want to get spotted, the only thing he could make out was taking over the planet and starting off with the those three countries. There were footsteps coming his way, so he hid under one of the consoles. The door opened some more as all fourteen of Torlon's followers left.
Once he knew it was safe, he snuck out and followed them all the way back to the room he started off in. they each got in a pod and descended from the ship. It wasn't long till a roaring noise came from below and the sounds of something being shot from the ship shook the place. Amane ran out into the hallway and saw all the pods that left, along with three pillar like objects.
In an instant, the pillars landed into the waters of each country. " This is not good, I have to hurry and find them."
Hyrule
Guards from each race across Hyrule were cleaning up the debris from the attack and disposing any bodies that were their attackers. Some guards were gathering the few people that lost their lives into one spot. Link, Zelda, Riju and Paka were helping with the wounded, while Sidon and Yunobo were caring for the children while their parents got help.
Kyra was sitting on a bench, not allowed to do anything. She looked around at the people as they try to organize everything, it hurt to see a festival meant to celebrate such peace was ruined. She looked up to the sky where her daughter and friends disappeared.
She sighed and looked back at the crowd, she felt so helpless. She knew could do small things, but she wouldn't hear the end of it from anybody. Sidon walked up to her and sat beside her, " My love are you alright?" He asked placing a hand on her cheek. " I'm fine, it's just we were all having so much fun and this happened. Now my baby girl is taken and I'm not sure if she'll return." Tears began to fall from her eyes and Sidon wiped them away.
" Please don't stress yourself out, you know how bad you pregnancy is and we can't let nothing make it worst."
" I feel like I wasn't meant to bear children sometimes. After finding out about my condition when we met was scary. I felt pressured and thought you wouldn't want to marry someone who couldn't give you an heir." She leaned her head on his arm. " I wouldn't have left you for the world. Know why? Look how strong you've been up till now, yeah we went through many treatments to prolong your life. But you were the reason you got this far, many of us thought you wouldn't have made it to child birth, but you believed in yourself. You had all our friends to encourage you." He stood and spread his arms out, showing how magnificent his wife was. " Kyra, I never thought I would marry someone outside my race, but you're the best thing I could ever hope for in a mate. You're the reason I get up in the morning and the more reason I smile everyday. You gave us a beautiful child and will be giving us three more, because you're stronger than you know." He kneeled in front of his wife and held her hands. She began to cry on his shoulder, like a big weight has been lifted off of her shoulders. " I'm sorry I've never encouraged our little girl's dreams like I should have." Sidon said. " I regret it too." Zelda spoke from behind him. Next to her were Link, Riju, and Paka. Zelda and Riju sat next to Kyra and Link and Paka stood beside Sidon.
" We have to do something for when they do return. I know for sure they'll be back." Said Zelda. " If champions is what they want to be, we'll give it to them. They've proven themselves more than capable especially during the events."
" They were trying to prove to you all, they had what it takes. I set those games up to be much harder this year, knowing they would love to join in. I have also been training them in secret for something like this." Admitted Kyra. Everyone looked at her shocked, Sidon more so. " Is that why some nights you come back home late?" He asked. " Yes, it was because of the. The goddesses has reached out to me since Sydonna turned 10. They only knew I would have believed they would make a difference and reveal it when the time is right." Kyra explained.
Zelda opened her mouth to say something, but she had to look down and think of what she wanted to say. And it hit her, " That Amane child, have you known about her this whole time too?"
" I have and Amane goes by male, they came to me with Amane one night during their regular training. Remember that house on the outskirts of the town that was abandoned. We all fixed it up and gave it to Amane, it also became his workplace. The child has great skill in custom weaponry, I even hired an Eveskal weapons smith to teach him." She replied.
" That explains the advancement in their weapons during the sparring match." Said Paka.
" But I don't understand, when you sided with me that night when I lectured Sydonna. Were you trying not to be suspicious on what you were actually doing?" Asked Sidon. " For the fact she bit the boy no, I didn't like that she did something like that. She does take the anger from you though." Kyra gave a little smile and looked up to Kaneli, Rena and Telo the other three champions of their respective races.
" We have returned your highness. So far there hasn't been any other abnormalities." Reported Telo. " That's good, but also a bit unsettling. Keep your guard up though, we never know what might come about." Replied Zelda.
After that exchange of words, three pillars dropped from the sky, one landed in Japo, the other in Afrin and the last south of New Castle Town. A gust of wind and debris blew across the town knocking people over, injuring some and destroying buildings.
Yunobo released everyone out of his protection and they all got a look at what had destroyed most of the town.
" This isn't good. Champions go help the guards with rescues in that area and bring them to the castle." Ordered Link.
The champions were beginning to run off with the guards, when Kyra called to them. " Come back. Let the guards handle this, we have to begin our preparations for when they return. This wasn't what we expected to happen, but it will have to do."
The other families looked at her confused. " What do you mean my love?" Sidon placed a hand on his wife's shoulder.
She stared up at him as she was now at chest height. " The champions have been along with me this whole time. We thought it would be years before they were to do something like this, this is good as time as any." The champions lined side by side in front of their rulers and Kyra standing in front.
There was a rumble and roar on all four corners of the kingdom, the divine beast that were on their perches were being attacked. Some Rito flew high in the air and used scopes to look at the scene. Vah Ruta was being encased in ice and being submerged in the water. Ice has also covered parts of the domain and its surrounding areas. Vah Medoh was being hoisted in the air by an insane gust of wind that eventually surrounded it in the air. Thunder and lightening was surrounding the beast and the land around the Hebra region. Rudania was pushed into the volcano it sat atop on by large blades, that now surround the mountain. Naboris was being covered in something and being dragged under the sand. From each of these points lights shot out in a circle and covering up the sky. Kaneli flew up to investigate and he was shocked by the barrier. It reached up to the top of Eveske.
Kaneli recovered and flew back down to the group, " Nothing is getting pass whatever that is. I'm not sure if those kids will be able to get to us." He said.
A voice spoke to Kyra and she turned back to the champions. " No matter we will continue the plan. Your jobs are to aid them. Kaneli, Mina has become very skilled in archery and so you will help her and have you made any progress with that device for her?"
" Yes ma'am, she should be able to fly like any Rito." Kaneli replied.
" Rena, Tindu has shown promise in double handed weapons especially with spear ones. Teach him all you can as he still lacks some fluidity in form."
" Yes ma'am." Replied Rena.
" Telo, my daughter has used that scimitar for years. Even when she's weak to electricity, she has found a way to combine it allowing extra damage. But her skill in swimming is still weak, I'll will give you something that'll help her get better and you will help her get used to it and become fast in the water."
" Yes ma'am." Replied Telo.
" Yunobo, you get along well with Jasper. I want you to help him get stronger, he's well versed with two handed blunt weapons. I want you to find a way that he's able to handle the weapon in one hand, that way he can use a very durable shield."
" Yes ma'am." Replied Yunobo.
Zelda walked next to her, " What about that Amane child, what role does he have in all this?"
" The kid is skilled in blacksmithing and gunsmithing. Once he gets back, while the others are training he will be upgrading their weaponry. Once all those tasks been done, they will help each other take back the lands." Kyra took a deep breath before continuing, " Sidon I need to go back to the domain, there's something I have to finish there."
" What is it may I ask?" He said.
" Their champion uniforms, I have to modify Sydonna's and Tindu to a much smaller size and Amane is getting one as well. He does play a big role in this as well."
Without further question, Sidon walked with Kyra to head back to the domain. The champions stayed to help with the casualties before going back to their homes. Riju and Paka back to the desert and Link and Zelda went to help the people who took shelter in the castle.
Hylia River
' It's going to take longer now, I was almost finished. But now I have to alter their uniforms. I hope I can finish in time.' Kyra thought to herself.
