I looked down at the table and smiled nervously. "Oh...right."

My broken ring.

I had completely forgotten about that little detail.

Twilight looked about ready to explode. "HANON, YOU IDIOT! YOU GET ALL MAD AND BREAK OUR TICKET OUT OF THIS ERA?! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?!"

Vio glared at him. "Stop being such a Blue." Good thing Blue didn't hear, or a head would roll that afternoon.

Then I remembered something else. Something we had all forgotten.

"Hey, where are the companions?"

Everybody's heads snapped up. Time looked worried. "Oh, no... Navi, where are you now?"

Sky sighed. "I think she's in the area. Fi is in my sword, as always. The one we have to worry about is Midna."

We all nodded.

"Relax dorks, I'm right here." The caped Princess of the Twilight waved to us from the dark corner. "The annoying little fairy said, many times, that she was going to assist the knights in their training. By 'assist' she means hover around barking obvious tips until someone decides to put that ball of headache out of it's misery."

Twilight Zelda, who was the only Zelda with us at the moment, rolled her eyes. "Typical Midna."

Midna told us that she was going for a walk and left, the jerk.

Vio strode over to the table and pulled a variety of charts out of his leather messenger bag. Lecture time.

"You see, what I am interested in is not that the ring broke, but what happened to said object AFTER it broke. The jewel that formed the center of the ring has split into perfect sixths. Six pieces that turned six colors." He pointed to an enlarged painting of the split ring. (Courtesy of yours truly, but don't you go tellin' people that.)

"One of the pieces remained a silver color, while the remaining five turned green, blue, red, violet, and ebony."

"Huh?"

"Black, Red. Ebony is BLACK."

"Oh."

"Anyways, I have found that there is a hole in the center if the ring, in which one of the fragments would fit perfectly. However, though they all have the same shape and size, only the transparent silver fragment would accommodate-"

"Huh?"

"Fit, Red. Only one of the pieces would FIT."

"Oh... sorry."

"It's all well and forgotten. Anyways, I have noticed a small peculiarity... I mean, unusual detail I have noticed being relevant to our swords."

The four Four Swords and Shadow's sword layed on the table. He picked up his and examined the base of the blade. "As you can see, there is a small notch-" Red looked confused. "A small hole in the blade of our weapons."

Blue, clearly bored out of his incredibly small mind, threw a pebble at Vio and missed. "WhatEVER, that's been there FOREVER! Geez, Vi. You over think things."

"Maybe so, but watch closely." Vio pushed the portion of the gem matching his tunic and name into the blade of his sword. A perfect fit. The perimeter of the jewel glowed and Vio smirked. "None of the other pieces worked with this. They just fell out. This shard, however, corresponds. Fits, Red." My genius friend then proceeded to fit all the swords with their proper gems.

"Therefore I conclude that, while being the same, the fragments are unparagoned."

Everyone: "Huh?"

"Please, I know I am a sesquipedalian, am very perspicacious, sometimes demure, and resonate equanimity but you don't have to give me so much grief for such traits."

Time raised a blond eyebrow. "Do you have a word-a-day calender or something...?"

"Yes I do."

Red leaned over and whispered into my ear.

"Okay, now I'm just lost."

"Everyone is, Red."

-Time Skip sponsored by: A monkey dancing. Just because.-

Shadow and I were sitting on a log. Vio was reading. (Big surprise, I know.) Blue was chasing Red, Green was chasing Blue, Sky was chasing Green, Time was chasing Sky, Twilight was chasing Time, the Zeldas were chasing them, Midna was chasing the Zeldas, Navi was chasing Midna, and Fi was chasing Navi. (Someone draw that, I dare you.)

Then suddenly, Ghirahim. Out if nowhere. To be honest, we all just kind of ignored him. Shadow waved. Vio scoffed.

"Oh, come ON!" The demon "Lord" dramatically struck a pose. "Are they such imbeciles to NOT notice my FABULOUSNESS?!"

Vio nodded. "Imbeciles, that they are, yet it is rather difficult to notice a trait that doesn't exist."

"Why you... Anyhow," He flipped his hair. (What was left of it after chapter 2, anyways.)

"Hanon, I'm here to check if my little... offer has a response yet. So?"

"You're as dumb as a turtle on it's back if you think I'd ever say yes." Suddenly, the others stopped and were now paying attention.

"Well, aren't you the ever-rebellious one." Ghirahim smirked at me. Gosh, that guy is ugly. "Now I have to us my secret weapon." The demon lord raised his hands to the skies. "DEMON, I CALL ON THEE: DRACONICUS, MASTER OF THE SKIES!"

Dark clouds filled the skies, blocking out the light of the sun. A large creature descended from the darkened sky. It had the head of a horse, the body of a dragon, and various appendages from just as various animals. To a normal person, it was terrifying. I had to admit I was a bit frightened. Just a BIT.

Ghirahim laughed. "I'll leave you to this. Good luck!" I was just about to lunge out and strangle the jerk when he disappeared.

The giant monster took a swing at a large tree nearby. Time, Sky, and Twilight were already swinging at the giant monster with their swords, but to no avail. That thing's skin was really freakin' thick. I looked at my ring, then felt a hand on my shoulder. Vio.

"Do it. I have a theory about what may happen." I nodded.

when I activated the ring, there was the same flash and the same armor. This time, thought, something was different. Five more people gained armor as well.

Vio just stood there, obviously expecting this. Blue looked disgusted by his new apparel. Red was jumping up and down saying things like "Ohmygoddeseswelookso AWESOOOOME!" Green looked at me and gave me a Vio-brow. (Yes, that's gonna be consistent.) Shadow looked pumped up. "Bring on the giant dragon-thingies because I'm ready!"

"Before we set out, we must devise a series of statistical attacks using a detailed analysis of our current opponent-" Five out of the six of us rushed out at the giant monster. "Or we could just jump in their without a clue and probably die, but whatever's okay with you guys is fine with me, I guess..."

Vio joined us.

He quickly spotted a weakness. "Red! Burn it's scales off!"

"I don't have my fire rod!"

"Just DO IT!"

"How will I... AAAAAH!?" Flames burst out of Red's hands and scorched some of that monster's scales, but it was moving around too much.

But what if...

"Vio!" I waved to my friend. "If Red equals fire then Green must equal-"

"Earth!" He finished. "Green, summon vines and chain the target to the ground!"

Green didn't look so convinced. "Vio I don't know if I can- okay, apparently I can!" Vines wrapped around the colossal beast and strapped him firmly to the dirt."

"Now, Red!"

"Um, okay!" He used the flame attack once more, this time scorching a vulnerable spot: the torso. It tried to lash out, but I blinded it with a flash of light. Shadow game me a thumbs up as he and Blue plunged their swords into the monster's spinal chord and heart, killing it.

The draconicus disappeared in purple smoke and left something behind.

A letter. Weird. I opened it carefully.

It read this:

Our darling children:

We may not be with you for much longer. In the circumstance that you

are reading this we may have already left this world. The evils lurking

here are the reason we hid this letter with one of the Sky Guardians.

Link, take care of your sister if we pass. If that means sending her away,

then do it. You are a special young man with an exceptional destiny. Your

sister has an equally important role in the fate of this world. We know we

can not live forever, but we want to help you all that we can.

Your Loving Parents,

Hunter and Miranda Sword

"Oh, boy." I sighed. "Sky... come see this."

He read it over quickly and his facial expression sunk. "Mom... Dad..."

Blue rolled his eyes. "Well, at least you KNEW your mom. We barely got any time together before she died."

Vio gave him the I-don't-want-to-hear-another-peep-from-you look. "You don't have many memories of her because you were rarely your Blue self around her. I have a substantial amount of memories, though Green and Red most likely have the most abundant storage." Said heroes nodded.

Time looked up at the sky. "I never met my parents. I considered trying to use the ocarina to go back in time to see them, but Shiek, I mean Zelda, advised me not to. I bet they were good people..."

Twilight remained silent.

Navi flew up and settled on Time's head. "My parents were stepped on by Gorons. But, oh well! Can't let it hold you back!"

Midna remained silent.

Fi floated over to Sky. "Master, as you know, I have gained the ability to feel emotions only recently, but perhaps this can help: The best people often emerge out of an early life of tragedy."

It didn't really help much, but my brother thanked her anyways and asked her to return to his sword, to which she happily obliged.

I turned to face my teammates, hoping to change the subject. "Listen up, folks. That was a weak monster, something good turned bad. Ghira-Jerk is gonna send more and more difficult monsters after us. From now on, we think as one, fight as one, and win as one."

Red raised his hand. "We still get to go to the bathroom on our on though, right?"

"Yes, Red."

Vio had a question next. "When we, per say, 'think as one', does that mean I have to stoop myself to Blue's brain capacity, because that is not on my to-do list."

"No. Keep your intellect. Trust me, with this bunch, we'll need it."

"WHAT WAS THAT?"

"Shut up, Blue."

"Wait!" It was Green. "If we're a team, we need a name."

"How about Hanon and the Goofballs?" I laughed at my own joke.

"The Genius and Other People Too."

"The Beat-Em-Up Club!"

"The Sailor Scouts!"

"That's already a thing, Red."

"Oh."

"Ghirahim Destroyers?"

Twilight mumbled something under his breath. I leaned over towards the grumpy guy.

"What was that?"

"Nothin'."

"It was somethin'."

"No."

"Tell me."

"No."

"Tellmetellmetellmetellme!"

"All right, I just thought that maybe Legion of Swords might be a good name, but it's dorky and-"

"It's perfect!"

"... Really?"

"Yeah!"

Everyone else nodded. Vio took his official I-have-total-authority-over-everyone-here stance.

"Alright, we are officially the Legion of Swords. Any objections? No? Good."

"YEAH!" Most of us shouted in unison.

Twilight, Midna, and Vio stayed quiet.

Killjoys.
