"The Solar Blade?" Amaterasu, Issun, Midna, and Link said in unison and surprise.
"Oui," said Waka, "The Solar Blade is a sword constructed from sunlight by the Dark Lord Yami."
"Yami?" Midna asked. Waka nodded.
"Who's that?" Link asked
"Yami is the supreme ruler of all evil beings. He tried to shroud the world in darkness, but he was driven out be Amaterasu's divine light. He went into hiding after his defeat and planned out a come back. He was going to make a very powerful weapon. He used the most powerful material he could find. That material was sunlight. He crafted the weapon that is known as the Solar Blade. Unfortunately for him, because of all the darkness that was inside of him, he couldn't use the weapon. In fact, the weapon was extremely dangerous to him and would harm him instead of his adversary. To prevent destroying himself with the weapon, he managed to break the weapon apart and distribute the fragments among the souls of his minions. The swords power helped them manifest in to their devilish forms, but they were still weak. Now that this "twilight" as you call it has given them even more power than they had before, they have come back to reek havoc. Your jobs are to defeat them and obtain the fragments. I shall put them back together so that the sword may be used against Yami, this Ganondorf, and this Zant." Waka thoroughly explained.
"Wait, Waka, how were Yami's minions able to draw power from the fragments. Wouldn't it oppose the darkness within them?" Amaterasu asked.
"Why that is a good observation, Ma chérie. I have been wondering the same thing. I guess that will be discovered on your journey." said Waka, "Oh and you should keep this in mind, the Solar Blade is said to be at its peak power when it glows in the presence of the sun's true light."
"True light, huh? What the heck is that supposed to mean?" Issun chimed.
"I'm not sure of that either, my little bouncing friend. But I think it has something to do with Amaterasu. Well then, I think it's time for you guys to me off. Are you guys ready?" Waka asked.
"I'm ready," Link said, crouching down and baring his teeth.
"I am too," said Midna, hoping onto Link's back. Issun hopped a top Amaterasu's snout.
"We're ready," said Amaterasu.
"Alright. I'll take you guys down to Earth in a place you're familiar with." Sakuya said then she beamed our four heroes down to Earth. With the twilight being so thick that they couldn't tell where they were, or even see clearly what was in front of them.
"W-where are we?" Issun asked. Sakuya suddenly manifested right in front of them.
"A familiar place, Issun. A very familiar place," Sakuya said, "Follow your nose, Amaterasu. Trust me." And with that she vanished.
"Recognise this place? I can't even see it!" Issun exclaimed.
"Well, I guess I'll just use my nose like Sakuya said," said Amaterasu. She lifted her nose into the air and Link did the same. Amaterasu and Link were able find a scent path. Amatersu sniffed it carefully and her ears perked up. She recognised the scent as it filled her nose.
"This way," Amaterasu said, beckoning with her head. Link follwed her as she followed the scent trail.
"Where are ya going, furball?" Issun asked. Amaterasu paid no attention to him as she let her nose guide her. After a couple twists and turned. There was a loud clang. This broke Amaterasu's concentration and she raised her head. Link, having here the sound too, looked around. The wolves crouched in anticipation. There was a growing sound of something scuttling along the ground.
"What's going on?!" exclaimed Midna nervously.
"Shhh!" Issun hushed Midna, "I feel something coming." And out of nowhere popped out three green imps. They were darker colored and had green glowng lines on there body. "Imps! Get 'em, Ammy!" Issun shouted. Amaterasu got ready to attack, but was stopped by Link.
"Wait! These guys are twilit. They're more powerful then you're used too. They're unlike anything you've fought before! Stay back!" Link said. Amaterasu was insulted. She quickly turned to Link.
"You doubt my ability?!" Amaterasu barked. "Do you have any idea what I've taken on?!" Link shrunk back.
"Well I…." Link started to say.
"Listen here! I have taken on thousands of these creatures and much worse! I've fought giant spiders, an eight-headed snake, a bull with arms, a disease, a nine-tailed fox, two mechanical owls, and Yami! I've been on icy mountians, on disappearing islands, underwater, in the stomach of a human and a dragon, been sent back in time, and even in outer space! I am a goddess! Don't you ever doubt me!" Amaterasu said these word with such fury.
"Well, you've definitely been through a lot." Link said sheepishly. The imps made an advance towards the wolves.
"Ammy, look out!" cried Issun. Amaterasu leaped forward and readied her weapon, Solar Flare, and snarled. She slashed at them furiously. Link watched in amazement. She killed two imps effortlessly, but the third made this horrible screeching that made every freeze and cringe. The other two imps were immediately resurrected. Amaterasu was shocked. Enemies she had fought never resurrected like this or made such a repulsive noise.
"Amaterasu, listen to me!" shouted Link. Amaterasu ignored him. She was determined to show him what she could do, and these guys were just imps. How hard could they be? Amaterasu slashed at the third imp who had made the awful noise and resurrected the other two imps. She used her celestial brush to draw fire from her weapon and singed the imp. She slashed the life out of another imp, but the imp last standing made the same noise and resurrected the other two once again. Amaterasu growled in frustration. "Amaterasu, please! Listen to me!" Link shouted.
"Quiet you!" she snapped at Link. Amaterasu killed two imps again and they were resurrected by the last one standing again. Link jumped on top of one and bit the life out of him. Link barked to get the other imps attention. The other two imps turned and went straight for him. They were close together. Link spun around in the air, hitting both imps at the same time, but they quickly moved away from each other.
Amaterasu watched Link closely as he herded the imps close together then slashed at both of them. Amaterasu saw Links tactics of getting rid of one then going for two at the same time. She also saw how difficult it was to get the two imps together. Imps are very fast and jumpy. An idea suddenly hit her. When Link got the two imps close together again, Amaterasu used her Veil of Mist brush technique to slow down time. She and Link slashed and bit the life out of them. The bodies burst into flowery circles and Amaterasu slashed at them all one final time and retrieved their demon fangs.
"You see, Amaterasu? Why didn't you listen to me?" Link asked. Amaterasu shot him a menacing look. She probably should have listened to him, as he has had more experience with the twilight, but she didn't want to admit it. "What's with that look?! Annoyed that you under estimated them… and me?" Link crooned in rather arrogantly.
"Hey! You don't have to be so arrogant about it, Link!" she growled.
"Well excuuuuuuse me! Just like you, I have been through a lot too! I've been eaten, been through lava filled caves, been knocked out several times, been locked up, and worse! Just like you, I have fought monsters like you couldn't even imagine! Just because you are a goddess does not mean you're better than me," Link said with his teeth bared.
"Well, then! I guess you aren't so weak as I thought!" Amaterasu growled.
"You viewed me as weak?! Is that how you view everybody?" Link growled. This Amaterasu hard and she growled so loud, it was like a lions roar.
"Uh… Ammy?" Issun asked, trying to get her back on task. He looked at Midna, who gave him a questioning look.
"Well, if I'm so weak, then how was I able to defeat those demons and you couldn't?!" Link growled.
"Believe it or not, I was the one who slowed down the time." Amaterasu said.
"You slowed down the time, eh?" Link asked skeptically.
"Why yes I did. That and the spout of fire from my weapon was my doing too." Amaterasu said with a sly smile on.
"Wow! I had no idea you were capable of such things!" Link exclaimed sarcastically.
"You know what, no wonder you're still single!" Amaterasu said. Links face turned bright red under his fur. She was right. Even after all the times he rescued Zelda and any other for that matter, he didn't have a mate at all. He was so flustered, he couldn't think of what to say.
"Okay! How 'bout we save this oh so very creative argument for some other time and get back on task," Midna said impatiently. Link and Amaterasu shot looks at her.
"She's right, ya know," chimed Issun. Amaterasu and Link shot looks at him and then at each other.
"Grrrrr fine! But I still don't believe in any of these powers that you say you behold," Link said growling.
"Hmph, fine, but don't expect me to listen to him!" Amaterasu snarled.
Amaterasu sniffed the air, caught hold of the scent, and was off again. Link followed her. They came to a place where the shapes of houses could be made out. Eerie orbs of light floated by them.
"What are those orbs of light?" Issun asked.
"They are people, Issun. This is what happens to them in the twilight," Midna answered. "Link can see them with his senses. Link, why don't you use your senses and tell Amaterasu what you."
"Pff, tell her? I'll tell you or Issun, but not that diva." Link said obnoxiously.
"Fine, Link! Just do it and tell me!" Midna said and rolled her eyes.
Link squinted his eyes as he honed in on his senses. He could make out a boy playing with his dog, an elderly woman washing her clothes, a young woman tending to her rice crops, another young woman keeping a close eye on her turnip garden, and a man practicing with his sword. He decribed the scene to Midna in detail, who then told Amaterasu. Amaterasu's eyes widened. They were in Kamiki Village!
